And if the preliminary numbers hold, the movie is expected to break the mark for biggest five-day opening, surpassing ''The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,'' which brought in $124.1 during its first five days in theaters last December. On Saturday ''Shrek 2'' broke the record for single-day ticket sales with $44.8 million. The film's weekend gross was second all-time only to ''Spider-Man,'' which earned $114.8 million in a single weekend in 2002. The opening for ''Shrek 2'' broke or flirted with breaking a number of box-office records. ''Shrek 2,'' the sequel to the 2001 animated hit about a grumpy green ogre and his obnoxious donkey sidekick, earned a whopping $104.3 million over the weekend and has brought in an estimated $125.3 million since its release on Wednesday, its distributor, DreamWorks, said yesterday.
