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

You know TASM did 62M OW right? Don't' get greedy.

But it opened on a Tuesday.

Stupid placement doesn't compensate it's mediocre numbers. OS saved the box office, no beating around the bush.

Well a lot of the money I feel was spread throughout that July 4th weekend.

A 95 million opening weekend would be weak for spider-man.

Even if Boxoffice.com predition of 113 Million opening weekend and 265 Domestic gross happens that means the sequel hasn't improved much on first film since
it had a gross of 262 million back In 2012.

I thought a bit of the same thing.
They're predicting a $265M domestic total meaning foreign would take in a high $400M maybe $500M so that's a total of somewhere around the $760M total. Few bucks shy of TASM's total. But honestly I'd be thankful for that.

Box Office is completely unreliable when it comes to Spider-Man. I don't think that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is opening under $140 million, let alone under $100 million. Trust me, this is Spider-Man. Of course it'll be HUGE at the box office, no other film looks as epic as The Amazing Spider-Man 2 this year, and I'm saying this from a completely unbiased POV.

 

[Avenging Spidey]

@NikkiFinke No surprise 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' came on tracking today much bigger than reboot. Too early for over/under.

The most famous Box Office insider in Hollywood has spoken, and the tracking for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is escalating. Quickly.

Box Office is completely unreliable when it comes to Spider-Man.

Aren't they the optimists here, though? The have it at 112 mil, while that other source has it at below 100. I'd call that pretty good, especially since both McWeeny and Faraci have mentioned rumors of poor tracking (I know bringing up Faraci here is like mentioning Hitler at the Shoah Foundation, but he's a veteran of the industry. Plus, all these people love being proved right. Why would he set himself up for discredit?).

 

[Nemeres]

That being said, it was pretty low of boxoffice.com to bring up the Batkid thing. Wasn't in confirmed Garfield had instead taken the kid to Disneyland or something? Whatever.

 

[spiderman2]

yeah it was confirmed about Garfield taking the kid to Disneyland and I believe a few weeks before captian America came out they where tracking it at like 80 then not like a week before I think they said 90 and it ended up at 95.1 million. So the amazing spider man tracking could go up between now and in like a nother week or so. I would be shocked If we don't see at least 100 I mean captian American made 95.1 and spider man is a lot more popular. Spider man is the most popular super hero captian is not even top 3. I think we could see like 120 or so but at the same time the reviews havnt been has good so far has I thought they would be.

No, they aren't. The powers that be there are adamant about TASM2 grossing less than TASM. It's simply way too soon to say that, the nature of tracking is that it gets bigger the closer we get from the release date. That's what I feel it'll happen here.

 

[Musty002]

Spider-Man 3 had 150M OW... That's nuts. Almost as much as TDK made.

That tells you how incredible spiderman 2 was

 

[Nicko-Ray]

It's crazy. The Hunger Games and franchises like that make $150M+ OW. I forgot how much the sequel made OW but it killed in that AND overall gross.

I think it's safe to say Spidey has lost some of it's viewers. I mean he's been around a while so it makes sense.

 

[Amazing Spidy]

I'm really hoping it makes it to 1 Billion.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

If this movie can't make it to at least $900 million in this day and age then I'd be seriously worried for the Spider-man franchise.

After Batman and Iron Man, he is without a doubt the most popular solo superhero and if he can't top (for e.g.) Man of Steel's opening weekend at the start of May, then something is very wrong.

I'm expecting big things for the movie.

Hard to say Iron Man is more popular. He doesn't have solo games, TV shows, cartoons. He's only really been really successful the past 2 years.

I think with a great marketing campain, reboot frenzy being over and if it builds on the success of TASM it could get a Billion, possibly. Plus now with the origin which Marc Webb felt obligated to tell being told there will be more repeat viewings, providing the film is good.

That's exactly why these blockbuster movies make so much money. People go see it again and again and they bring their friends too. If Sony (or any other studio) wants to make a lot of money out of a superhero movie, they have to make it good.

It should at the very least demolish TWS opening weekend, but could you imagine if it didn't? Lol should outgross the first's weekend as well, this might reach the billion mark if the GA enjoys it enough.

 

[AnneFan]

Go get 'em Spidey. I want big numbers.

 

[JOE]

800M + puts a smile on my face. 1B+ does something else...

 

[HanShotFirst]

I think this has a good chance of hitting 800-850M and TASM3 with S6 hype could hit 1b.

What does it do?

Actually agree with all of this.

I meant in terms of the domestic box office... There is no denying The Amazing Spider-Man underperformed a little. It had ALOT going against it but the sequel doesn't have any of those problems, so it should have a much easier time.

- A prime (heavily desired) release date.
- It's a sequel, removing the baggage of the origin story.
- Much improved marketing... with a broader appeal.
- The more colourful palette, which is certainly more Raimi-esque, should make the attraction stronger and bring more kids/families.
- The usual 3D bump.

TASM2 will kill overseas... but I'll be keeping an eye on the domestic haul. In my opinion, anything under a $120 million bow would be disappointing.

I agree with all this. I think the first film's box office success was great. It is the highest grossing reboot!

 

[GuestStar2004]

if you look at twitter there are alot of people incredibly excited and hyped to see the film

TASM didn't underperform really, infact because it was a reboot it probably impressed sony more that they could rush a reboot out this quick and still make more then $600 mil
