BOX OFFICE: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Hits $150M Overseas; Still Set For $95M US Debut
As expected, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is still set to open in North America with $95 million this weekend, possibly even topping Captain America: The Winter Soldier as 2014's highest grossing movie. Meanwhile, the divisive sequel has already surpassed $150 million overseas!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has already earned $150 million overseas after two weeks of release in locations such as the UK and Japan. As was predicted several weeks ago, the sequel is expected to debut in North America this weekend with $95 million, a number which would top Captain America: The Winter Soldier's impressive opening. Studio insiders believe that the film will be a hit with families, but as always, it remains to be seen whether The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will exeed expectations or come in with a much lower number. In 2012, The Amazing Spider-Man earned $752.2 million worldwide, and the success of the sequel will obviously play a big role in Sony's plans for their own cinematic universe moving forwards. How much do you guys think the movie will open to this weekend?
