BOX OFFICE: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Hits $400 Million Worldwide

So all of you (me included) who wanted SM's rights to return to Marvel Studios can forget it.

"That's all of us, right?"

No. It's not.

If this didn't get a sequel, chances would have been better that they may have sold the rights back to Marvel.

I will watch, be entertained by, and even praise a good Marvel film made by Fox or Sony...but I will never root for one. The sooner those studios lose these rights, the better.

Sad Marvel Studios won't get Spidey's rights back for a while, still TASM was very good. So I guess we can wait for Spidey in the MCU.

TASM was awesome and at frst I wanted the rights to revert back to marvel but now I wanna see how this storyline plays out in the sequels. bring on green goblin!!!!

$250-300 million domestically
$500 million foreign

$750-800 million when it's all said and done.

Glad it's doing well. TASM2 has already been greenlit for May 2, 2014. Looking forward to it :)

not bad for a week on release,it gets released in another fourteen countries this week.

its just gonna keep going up.

Not even the mighty Mickey Mouse, can get Sony to give up or even sell the rights back for this character!! Its a dream. Best we can do is atleast give em a thumbs up for givin us a very good spider-man flick. And not the dog shite dribble that Fox knock out!!

Rea1Dea1Stee1 - The Raimi movies were Sony's as well. Just sayin'.

I still think this movie was "meh." Not amazing, not bad, just meh. It's like it didn't know what kind of movie it wanted to be.

Of course this is spidey it shouldnt gross less that 700 mill.

Went to see this for the second time today, loved it just as much. It's awesome.

I don't understand why so many people are butthurt that Marvel doesn't have the rights. If they reach their agreement with Sony, they can still borrow Spidey for Avengers films, and will have an even greater say in the handling of the character, but this film was done very well with a lot of respect for the source material.

This film is tied for my favourite Marvel based film, along with Avengers. And I really wish people could look past which studio owns the property and just appreciate the film for it's own merits and quality. Sure, if they were [frick]ing up the characters in an unforgivable way, like how Fox treated the Fantastic Four, or Sony treated Ghost Rider, then maybe, maybe we should be getting annoyed and wanting those to go back to Marvel. But if the studio is treating them well, like Sony now is with Spidey, and it seems Fox is with X-Men (after a very up and down development of the series), then let them be.

Plus, I'd say Marvel needs the likes of Fantastic Four back more than they need Spider-Man.

@Rea1Dea1Stee1 Sony's gonna fight off that mother[frick]ing mouse until this franchise starts running on steam and dies. They'll be setting mouse traps, rat poison, and everything.

@ACira I bet you any money that if this film was made as is by Marvel Studios with the director, cast, and everything, no one would have a problem with it and would be praising the shit out of it.

Sony studios could still going under. It could crack a billion and a sequel could still be ify at this point. It really depends on how will the studios other films fare.
