BOX OFFICE: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Tracking Hints At $95 Million Opening Weekend
While some fans have claimed that they're not all that desperate to see The Amazing Spider-Man 2 based on how much footage has been released for the sequel, tracking indicates that it will have a big opening in two weeks time...possibly even bigger than Captain America: The Winter Soldier!
Spider-Man is one of the world's most iconic superheroes, so perhaps it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 looks set for a huge opening weekend! Despite negative buzz from some fans here on CBM and on Twitter about the huge nuber of TV spots, trailers and featurettes which have seemingly left little to see in the movie itself, The Wrap reports that the sequel's tracking indicates an opening of around $95 million. That puts it at around the same amount as Captain America: The Winter Soldier's $96 million debut, but BoxOffice.com believes that it could open to as much as $112 million. That's just the result Sony are looking for, especially as they've already dated The Amazing Spider-Man 3 for 2016 and The Sinister Six or Venom for 2018. Tracking is sometimes unreliable, so the sequel could open with more or less than the numbers above based on word of mouth and its international debut.
