The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Box Office Prediction Thread - Part 5

[Spider-knight]

ASM made only around 80M from DVD/blu-ray sales in North America. Think this one will finish around 50M max. And some Director Cut will make no difference.

i doubt the dvd sales on that will increase.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

A director's cut in theatres would be awesome. I really limited release in select cinemas for a week. Rated 15.

I have little doubt that would cost Sony more money then they'd make.

 

[los pollos]

Man, ASM2 is 5th weekend gross is likely to be on par with TWS' 7th weekend gross which is just sad.

It seems to me that all of the major May releases this year except for "Neighbors", are all showing to have weak legs despite having $90M+ openings. These movies are just stumbling over each other.

Hopefully in the future, these studios might look to early April to kick off the summer season, seeing how TWS had no direct competition for 4 weeks straight and cruised passed $250M by the time Godzilla finished it's first weekend. Even though ASM2 had questionable quality, it could have done a little bit better had it had 1 or 2 more weekends to itself. It would be better for everybody if these movies were spread out more, because due to my budget, I can't afford to go to the theaters more than twice a month (non-matinee tickets in NYC at Regal & AMC theaters average $14.50)

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

So the film made 1mil on Friday and is in for another 50% drop. 200mil is going to be a real struggle.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Easily. There simply isn't enough demand for the extra cost of editing and SFX in order to complete one.

 

[Spiderine]

so around 192 million after this weekend. Wow.....I thought it would at least see a little over 200 million now I even have doubts about that.

Yeah May release movies destroyed each other's boxoffices lol. TASM2, MUTO and Xmen had 90m openings but big drops on second weekend.
Domestic I think they all will gross around 200m. Worldwide TASM2 luckily was bailed out by international boxoffice, MUTO was not as lucky and we still have to see how will DOFP fare.

 

[Angryfantasyfan]

If they're sticking to the 2016 release date, I doubt Webb has time to do a director's cut. He'll need to focus on the next film.

 

[Spider-Fan]

DoFP is looking at a 32ish mil weekend based on the Friday numbers. Another large drop for a May release. Somewhat disappointed because that movie deserves to make serious bank. But, at least it is seeing a fair bump internationally.

I wouldn't say that, as there has seemingly been plenty of people just staying home, as these films don't quite get their blood going to the tune of a second big weekend. This year's Memorial Day weekend was $70m below last year's cumulative box office domestically.

There is a reason with all these big films we haven't seen a $100m opening weekend, and it isn't competition.

This is going to be a boring summer movie-wise. Only Guardians and possibly Apes will save it.

i have a feeling we'll get a directors cut soon

 

[Erzengel]

You'll get a regular cut with deleted scenes then maybe a directors cut.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Yeah, I expected better this weekend than what we're getting. I'm starting to think that it is actually possible that this film will not even reach $200 million.

I was originally thinking that this film would have done on par or slightly more than the first film due to improved international box office takes making up for a slight downturn domestically. Didn't think that this would have happened where it isn't even going to make $700 million.

like when? a month or 2 after the dvd release or the same month as the dvd release?

 

[Bruce Malone]

It's crazy how TASM 's 262 million in between the attention grabbers of the Avengers and TDKR is actually starting to look somewhat impressive now compared to how the sequel is doing?

I remember some people thinking its total at the time was somewhat disappointing.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

In 2012 TASM actually made more than I thought it would. I think I predicted something like 235mil.

 

[KDM1986]

Gonna be tough to hit 200 domestic and 700 WW. I wouldn't be surprised if this falls short of both.

 

[chaseter]

You won't get a directors cut until 2016 if they even do that...which I highly doubt they spend the money and time doing.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Why would they waste money on a so-called directors cut? I guess they could but I don't see it happening.

i believe it will happen and for once i would like the third movie to be good. if sony interferes with both S6 and ASM3 then chances are they're screwed.

How to Train Your Dragon 2.

It will make it to $200m. Barely, but it will make it.

In for a penny, in for a pound?

 

[LizardMan07]

In the situation a directors cut improved the film immensely, (let's just assume it did) would it affect the GA's perception as a franchise?

No, not one bit really.
