The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Box Office Prediction Thread - Part 4

[Spider-Fan]

X1 is weaker than both X2 & FC & (DOFP) for sure. I'm just grateful that it wasn't a mess and was enough of a foundation for the franchise to be built on. And even though there's way too much Wolverine throughout the series in relation to other equally important characters, well at least they did him well. If you liked FC there's a good chance you'll like DOFP as the McAvoy/Fassbender conflict is still central to it. I think most of the good of FC has come across to DOFP.

That is what I want to hear, LOL!

I remember not being excited for First Class at all after the TERRIBLE X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and the trailers didn't GRAB me initially. Even as I sat in the theater, I thought it was just going to be OK, but right after the Shaw scene with young Mangeto and when he shot his mother and gave him the coin, I was hooked. One time I am more than willing to admit I have to eat massive crow

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I wasn't even going to go to First Class until the reviews started coming out and I heard from some other people that it was the best of the series.

 

[Mysteryman]

Adam Sandler movies don't exist in my world. lol

I want to live in your world!

DOFP is going to be the 900-pound gorilla that will be stomping everything in its path this week. Sandwiched between two well-reviewed CBM should be a sobering experience for Sony as they move forward with the next sequel.

 

[Spider-Fan]

DoFP, without IMAX and only starting showings at 10pm managed 8.1 last night. TASM2 with more benefits did 8.7 mil in Thursday shows. Very strong showing for DoFP, and that film is going to be big!

 

[Donut]

I'm also guessing that Adam Sandler is gonna be kicking Spider-Mans ass

 

[spiderman2]

Another reason franchise fatigue is not true. If it was this movie would have some trouble to has we had xmen 1-3 first class and now this one and we had the worvoern spin offs. It is at a 93 on RT right now after like a 154 reviews or something witch is only below spider man 2 and dark knights 94 and with being 154 reviews in even if it goes down some I think at this point it cant go down much so I would think high 80's at the worst now.

How much did captian 2 make form Thursday showings?

 

[Spider-Fan]

How much did captian 2 make form Thursday showings?

It made 10.2 in Thursday showings.

 

[JOE]

Can't wait to watch Godzilla tonight in a roomy theatre while everyone is out watching DOFP.

 

[TheVileOne]

It's very possible Captain America 2 will surpass the domestic numbers of the first Amazing Spider-Man

 

[spiderman2]

Whats it at now has the movie has been out for like a month and 3 weeks? so I think it is done has movies are normaly in theaters for about a month and a half.

 

[TheVileOne]

$252 million. $704 million worldwide.

 

[spiderman2]

Oh ok asm1 made 262 usa I believe so I don't see 10 million more in captian 2 but we will see.

Franchise fatigue for team films is different as they have so many options. There's loads of characters making boredom with any one less common but the option is there when audiences get bored with a particular character that they can be switched out for a few films. The next X-film will have a lot of new cast members for younger versions of older X-Men for eg.

I can guarantee you none of the X-Men could individually come close to sustaining as many films as Spidey could but he's still just one guy. They can do prequels in the distant past and then time travel between them as they have characters of all ages while Spidey is eternally a young guy. If there were longer gaps between reboots of sets of films he could sustain long term interest, but of course the rights situation won't allow it.

Yeah but woverin has been in all like 7 of them and a few of the other charters have been in sever of them to its not like they switch charters out ever one. Franchis fatuige is nothing its about quilty of the movies. If asm2 had around xmens RT number we wouldn't be having this conversation has asm2 would be doing a lot better. What about iron man? We had iron man 1-3 and avengers so 4 movies with iron man in 5 years and yet iron man made more then iron man 1 or 2. Yeah avengers was a team up but iron man 1-3 where not. If frachise fatigue was a problem then iron man 3 wouldn't have made has much has it did.

 

[spiderman2]

Xmen is not has popular has spider man to and yet look what isn't doing. Its like people that say that people are tried of super hero movies yet look at what captian America 2 is doing and what DOFP is about to do. It just excusis for this movie again if the movie was getting good reviews and had good world of mouth it would be a problem has the movie would be doing a lot better. These movies are salying like 50% less tickes then spider man 1-3 it is going to take more then franchise fatigue to have that big of a drop.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

spiderman 2 has done well, so far not even as good as spiderman 1 and not as good as the previous trilogy and I'm telling you it is because it is not a part of mcu.

 

[spiderman2]

Its because like 40% of people where still wanting a spider man 4 and asm1 didn't change peoples minds about it. If asm1 had been great or good people would have came back and 3 spider man movies with bad to slighty good reviews in a row. It all comes down to people wanting a spider man 4 and having 3 spider man movies with out good reviews in a row nothing more. If all 3 of the last spider man movies got good reviews things would be way way different or if even just this one had gotten good reviews things would be a lot better.

 

[spiderman2]

Even xmen had first class a movie that got really good reviews before this on so that was momentum something spider man dosnt have right now.

I'm saying the option is there now to switch with team films which it isn't with a solo film. The X-films can feature different characters as the leads in future if audiences get bored of Wolverine. And the Wolverine solos aren't that popular. People like Wolverine with the X-Men around him. If it was actually 7 solo Wolverine films he would have fared a lot worse than the more popular Spidey.

A trilogy is a standard amount of films. Team films don't count, that's my whole point as people don't get bored with one character as easily when they are surrounded by others even if they are the star of that team film (as Wolverine has shown). Noone's saying franchise fatigue sets in by a 3rd solo film but I can't see Iron Man 6 being successful unless they give the character a break from solo movies in between. And Sony have planned 9 Spidey films in a short space of time.

Yes it is more than franchise fatigue that is responsible for these drops. But franchise fatigue is one of the many reasons responsible.

You realise if this concept of zero franchise fatigue were true nearly every successful film in history could keep spawning out sequels for all time and be successful as long as the films were good. We could be onto Jaws 85 & Ghostbusters 58 etc. Why has that not happened?

 

[spiderman2]

While I would say that frachise fatigue is only like 5% of the reason where quilty of the movies is like 60% of the reason and the other 35% being that people wanted a spider man 4 and most people think that sam rami spider man movies are a lot better. Quile frankly if batman had the noal ones first and then after we had the type of batman we had with batman and batman returns and batman forever and batman and robin I think we would have the same issue has we have with spider man now has the first seiars would be consider superior to the second sieras of movies.

 

[spiderman2]

I think if this was as much off a problem has people think that people would get tired of spider man comics to has it is the same main thing yet they don't. Spider man could have a movie ever year and if they where consider good or even great people would conitue to go and see them.
