BOX OFFICE: TASM 2 Scores Highest International Opening of 2014
We were a tad disappointed with Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man sequel here at CBM, but it seems a few negative reviews haven't done anything to hinder its BO takings. TASM 2 is off to a great start overseas, grossing an estimated $47M so far in its opening weekend.
We know Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier is still raking in the cash, but it may have some competition pretty soon from another superhero sequel. Deadline report that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has taken international markets by storm, grossing an estimated $47M from 14 major territories, including the U.K., Spain, Germany and Belgium. Apparently the top markets for Marc Webb's sequel were the UK/Ireland, where is made $15M. This gives the movie the biggest opening internationally of 2014. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens in 21 more markets next weekend, including Japan, Russia and South Korea. You can read my 3-star review HERE, and Josh's 2-star review HERE.
