Deadline reports that Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man will finish this weekend with around $35 million; a decent -44% hold. Ice Age 4 (which grossed $45.5 million) is the reason why the Sony Pictures reboot only managed to hold on to the top spot for a week, although the release of The Dark Knight Rises next Friday is expected to completely suck the air out of the box office as Marvel's The Avengers did back in May. Back to this weekend though, and Spidey's latest big screen outing is expected to hit $200 million by close of business and actually passed the $500 million mark at the worldwide box office earlier this week. The studio are said to be confident that the film will end up grossing a worldwide cume of $800 million, although it still has quite a way to go before hitting that figure. Regardless, the film (which comes just 10 years after Spider-Man and five after Spider-Man 3 has been a success for the studio and a sequel is all but guaranteed at this point. Check out my interview with Marc Webb HERE and be sure to click HERE to read my 4* review of The Amazing Spider-Man.








The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

Movie was great.

Getting knocked out of the top spot already is not.

And when TDKR comes around, its money making days are over ala to what TA did to everyone.

Why again did they release this so close to TDKR?

@MrRogers - Nah Spidey's much better when he's by himself.

Sorry Spidey, you beat the Lizard but you won't beat the Dark Knight!

@Vegakingblade and why was that? 3D.

antonio - 7/15/2012, 6:37 AM
@Vegakingblade you're the one trying to start shit. You brought out the Nolanite card.

average movie. can't say i'm surprised.

@DoubleD can you shut the [frick] up for once with that goddamn bullshit??!!! TDKR has so far had overwhelmingly positive reactions(ranging from great to the best in the trilogy) AND the embargo is lifted tonight at midnight. And it's funny that you mention it to be "too dark and depressing". TDK was the same, yet it's still the best reviewed CBM to date.

DoubleD: TDKR review embargo ends tonight!

antonio - 7/15/2012, 6:43 AM
@Vegakingblade how is that the Nolanite logic? EVERYONE knows 3D boots ticket sales. They just release an analysis article(I'll try to find it) and it said Avengers made $169 million opening weekend without 3D.
antonio
antonio - 7/15/2012, 6:44 AM
@Vegakingblade sure, Iron Man and Dark Knight have the same overall rating, but it's the average rating that counts and TDK has a far higher rating. Even Avengers has a higher average than Iron Man.

@DoubleD -_- You got something to back that up?

Double D, you're either delusional or trolling, either way it's boring now.

As for Spidey, I'm glad it's doing well..still could have been a lot better!

@DoubleD lmao.......wow...REACHING. Let's see the receipts of those payments then


I had predicted TASM making around $800 million mark, but it looks like I'll have to knock it down to around $600-650 million. If that.

"The Star reports 'The Avengers' grossed $169.2 Million for it's opening weekend without the 3D surcharge. 'Rises' will easily set the record for best opening weekend for a 2D film."

@DoubleD my god, you're delusional. Have you not seen the past two films??? BRUCE WAYNE HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH A PERSONAL STRUGGLE FOR THE PAST TWO FILMS!!!

On topic, awesome for Spider-Man. I had predicted anywhere from $750 million to $800 million. Deserves it.

I dont care how much TDKR makes. Nolan ruined Bane and Catwoman. Movie is [frick]ed already.

UncleJimmy: Of course, judge a movie by just looking at promotional material.

@Unclejimmy whatever you say. but I know you'll contribute to TDKR's box office. Can't lie about it. :)

Ugh where are the Nolanite/buttsore DC fanboys who say I start shit when boards like this are littered with TDKR propaganda? Nowhere, because they have shit to say.

Comparing a rebooted TASM to anything TDKR does is retarded. I am sure Nolan's work will do excellent. And then when its over we can all go see a comic book universe in the DCU.
antonio
antonio - 7/15/2012, 7:05 AM
@Drax yeah, but who brought out the Nolanite card? And where in those first comments did I see "Amazing Spider-Man will be destroyed by TDKR"?
RamonSuarez
RamonSuarez - 7/15/2012, 7:06 AM
Haha, the Nolanites and DC fanboys are just scared because they know they don't have a future beyond Nolan. Even their precious Man of Steel looks like it wants to copy Batman Begins. Meanwhile, Marvel is winning with so many new and interesting franchises while DC-Warner gives us another Superman reboot, with Zod again, in a tone already reminiscent of something that has already been done.

Its made enough to warrant a sequel. We'll see something amazing then. Btw, I still think this is the best Spider-Man movie.
JDUKE25
JDUKE25 - 7/15/2012, 7:09 AM
@Vegaking after Batman Forever and Batman and Robin can you blame people for not seeing it first time around? Besides, Batman Begins is better than TASM anyway. That's not hating on TASM, I thought it was good, I just liked Batman Begins a lot more.
RamonSuarez
RamonSuarez - 7/15/2012, 7:09 AM
@Vegakingblade

Don't take these guys seriously. They are funny and insecure. Coming to a Marvel thread to promote TDKR. So sad.
RamonSuarez
RamonSuarez - 7/15/2012, 7:11 AM
@JDUKE25 -

I liked Batman Begins better than TASM too.

But its kind of sad that a lesser product from a Spiderman reboot gets more play than they best Batman film to date.
