BOX OFFICE: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Passes $700M Mark Worldwide
With film being released in China this week, the Marc Webb-directed superhero reboot The Amazing Spider-Man has passed the $700 million mark at the global box office...
A lot can be said about The Amazing Spider-Man. Whether you like it or hate it, it is now the highest-grossing reboot ever (followed by Casino Royale, Batman Begins and Star Trek). The film now stands at $704.8 million globally, and with a release in China this week (where it made $5.46 million opening day), it should pass $760 million when it's all said and done.
The Amazing Spider-Man definitely surprised with its theatrical run. While it won't match any of the previous films, many thought that the film wouldn't get as high as this at the worldwide box office. $700M+ is a great number for any film, especially for a reboot. As of right now, it made $258.3 million domestically, and $446.5 internationally. The sequel is set for May 2, 2014 release.
