The new Disney XD channel (which replaced the old Toon Disney several months ago) is planning to hold a Fourth of July Spider-Man marathon showcasing Spider-Man in animation throughout the ages. The channel which is owned by the Walt Disney Company has the sole television rights to a large majority of the Marvel cartoon library and with their new channel aimed at boys, they are getting a lot of use out of them. Here’s the line-up:

08:00 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man - “Catalysts”
08:30 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man - “The Uncertainty Principle”
09:00 AM - Spider-Man - “Secret Wars, Chapter 1: Arrival”

Released last Wednesday, Michael Bay’s action spectacle “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” took in megabucks at the box office over the weekend. Since its release, the movie has already grossed $214 million in the United States with an additional $204 million overseas. On its first day out, “Transformers 2″ took in over $60 million. All of this forbids well for the sequel but it was not enough to eclipse last summer’s biggest movie, “The Dark Knight.”

The first “Transformers,” released in 2007 finished worldwide at $708 million, and it was a much better movie. At this rate, “Transformers 2″ will push past “Up” and “Star Trek” to become the highest grossing movie of 2009. Only time will tell if this new sequel can continue to hold its numbers at the box office. It may fizzle out by the time “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” hits theaters on July 15.

Out today are two new films: Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies” and the new CGI film “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.”
