BOX OFFICE: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Makes $21M On Friday; On Track For $65M Weekend

should of just released it yesterday instead of tuesday,its worldwide gross for 3 days is $125,217,570.

Agreed with marvel72

The sequel will make way more. Especially if Norman is the villain. It had the best action scenes I have ever seen in a Spidey film.

nothing new to expect from this B movie, it shouldn't be like this, but TASM is just a low point on Spidey movie career hope the sequel con do more.

This article tries to sugar-coat the fact that this reboot has scored way below expectations. Initially they expected over $170 million for the six day total, then that came down to $160 million when its Thursday takings showed a huge drop and now they're saying $140 million after Fridays low takings.

And if we keep things in context, Batman Begins came out 8 years after Batman and Robin. None of the Batman films had huge openings, the biggest was Batman Forever with $52 million so BB's $48 million was not a disappointment. Especially since it grossed more than any other Batman movie at the time aside from the first Tim Burton flick.

Spider-man under Raimi all had huge box office weekends, Spidey1 opened to $114 million, Spidey2 opened on a Thursday and by the Sunday had made $152 million, even Spidey3 opened huge with $151 million! For this film to be released merely 5 years after and make less than every sequel before it is a let down and doesn't bear well for its final gross either.

They have a hit on their hands, yes. But its a much smaller hit than its potential would allow, that's plainly obvious. They expected much bigger numbers especially with 3D presentations galore, none of the other Spiderman films had that benefit. At this point the people who thought this was going to make more money than the Avengers can stop dreaming.

I believe this movie will be a big hit...I expected that it will not have huge opening numbers since almost everybody already condemned it before it was even released...Spider-man 3 opened huge but because of bad reactions fell flat and finished only with $330 million...this will be the opposite...with good word of mouth, I believe it will eventually get its numbers...

This biggest mistake they made was releasing this movie on a Tuesday.

Spidey made 75mill domestically plus what hes gonna make this weekend he should over 200mill by sunday

The two marvel reboot films with authentic names The incredible hulk and The amazing spiderman have both been written off before they were released. 5 years isn enough to make the masses forget hulk and spiderman 3. I loved this film though, best one of the lot imo.

The sequel should be pretty great. I loved this one, but the sequel doesn't have to re-do anything. It can be its own, original thing. From here, the story can pretty much go anywhere. It's exciting!

nice, I still need to watch this tho?)

boxoffice records are cool and all...

but some people pay too much atention to it.

the first movie of a reboot wont have a bigger impact than the previous movies, lets be realistic.

The best important thing is that Spidey has 4 movies already, that's pretty good for any superhero, and he'll have two more, at the very least.

Not all the superheroes has that luck.

@ckal

Precisely. They should have done what Burton did with the first Batman film, have Spiderman already be an established superhero.

Start the film off with him taking down a lesser villian, like Rhino or something, but show he still has a long way to go to being fully experienced or powered.

That way they could have set off any story they wanted for the first film, rather than spending nearly an hour going through the motions of an origin.

I don't care about the box-office

Well, maybe if people weren't so picky about it being a reboot it would sell more. We have people like Grif out there who don't give a crap about it being Spider-Man, the fact that its a reboot kills it.

The movie is AMAZING.
It deserves more.
Great action, great humor, genius dialogue, and a solid string story, and a great, GREAT, villain.

it felt odd to me being on the other fence with this one as a huge Spidey fan boy but what can i do i still prefer the original 1962 comic book storyline over this ultimate version and it's not about Garf being on the lead or whoever played that part for me it's about the closest i could get from the origin and not the re imagined, reboot,repackage, refurnished, remastered, revolutionized, and all the "good adjective you can stick on this one" and it wouldn't matter much to me. no offense to mr. Horner i love his other film scores but just as the same the score is also a big let down to me not a sticky melody could be left hanging to your head that will make you go humming and let you spun recalling how memorable the film was.

nuff said.
