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

[MrMaooz]

Yes it was. It was never plan B. Affleck was approached months ago, before MOS' release.

 

[GuestStar2004]

the plan was always going to be that man of steel would lead into justice league if it did well at the box office and technically it did alright, it did enough to show there was an audience for superman even for a reboot and they were always gonna have trouble topping man of steel in terms of action because they pretty much destroyed the city in that movie... so the way to top it would be to do something different like add another popular DC character that everyone knows (batman) and put them against one another

maybe it is playing it safe but this film will be BIG! and WB know that

Yes, but we don't know if a Batman/Superman film was actually planned. Affleck was approached to play Batman a year ago, but that's all we know for now.

Just like MOS was gonna be 'big'?

They are approaching toxic territory.
Just look at how much backlash Andrew's Spidey got despite him doing a great job at it and coming in 5 years later.Tobey wasn't even that good.

While Bale's Batman did a really good job and the Nolan trilogy is loved even more than Raimi.Plus he is coming in just 3 years later.God forbid if the movie is not good and Affleck not doing better than Bale..the audience will eat him up

Plus them going head to head against TA2 is a bad decision
It would have better had they gone for MOS2 and a couple of other solo movies(Flash,Wonder Women..) before going for JL in 2017 or 2018 after the Avengers craze would pass

It will be BIG because it's Batman!
And Andrew got backlash? This is news to me. Oh you mean on internets? Never go... I mean, never take internet seriously!

 

[Picard Sisko]

I'm sorry, but not everything "Batman" has to be big. This should be a Superman film, not a Batman film featuring Superman.

Andrew got a lot of backlash from Raimi fanboys. I love both the Raimi series and TASM, so I never had a problem with either.

With the release nearing, I think it's time to revitalize this thread.

The majority falls between 800-950M. This seems entirely possible for this film from what we've seen so far. What do you guys think? Any updated/changed answers?

 

[GuestStar2004]

i think if reviews are for the most part good it will put the box office up abit more but while i once said 850M, i am going to put it up 900M possibly

apart from a few over critical reactions i think the trailers and clips have been well received

 

[spiderman2]

I am going to say between 900 million and 1 billion so I picked 950 billion. I am kind of surprised that 850 million is leading right now. The first one had so much going agest it. It was a reboot witch turned a lot of people away and form looking on froms people liked the movie more then I was exepecting including me has I was agest the reboot an thought was going to be a terable movie. So I believe that after how the first movie turned out that some people who liked the sam ramie Spiderman's will come back even though they where agest the frist one. Also form the previews this movie looks way way better then the first one in ever way costume way better action looks like a better story then the first one. The frist one had to compet agest the advengures and TDKR movies with way way more hype this time the movie has way more hype then the first one did and more hype then probly any movie coming out around It so with all of those things I belive that it will make 900 million to 1 billion has the first one made about 750 million and with all those things l belive that that stuff is worth at least an extra 100 million if not more.

 

[Green Goblin]

I'm calling a billion and no more, no less.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

It'd be great if the movie makes a billion but I'm guessing at the most it will earn somewhere around the $900 million mark. Better than the first movie and a very respectable amount.

 

[Spiderdevil]

I would call 800M and 75% RT a great success
Anything north to that would be amazing

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

800m-900m

 

[Picard Sisko]

My predictions:

box office: $800 million to $1 billion
RT critic score: 75-85%
RT audience rating: 80-90%

 

[Kryptonian Titan]

800m-900m

I'm going with this.

 

[Fudgie]

I don't think it's going to go past 850.

 

[antonydelfini]

850 million

80-85 RT

If its more than that the better

 

[SikeMullivan]

I don't think TASM2 will suffer from nearly as much rebootism as many on here seem to think.

I think TASM2 will score above 80% on RT easily. Wouldn't be surprised to see a high 80s based on everything we've been hearing about it.

As for box office numbers, I think it definitely has a shot at a billion, but it really depends on how good the word of mouth is coming out of the gate. If the movie is as good as we've been hearing, and the GA agrees, this could take off.

I'll bet on 900-950 to be safe.

 

[JOE]

I'm hoping for anything over 80 on RT. Anything in the 90's would be glorious!

 

[Picard Sisko]

I would be more than satisfied with an RT score of 80. And yeah, anything above WOULD be glorious.

I feel like the audience rating could easily be over 80.

 

[Airnick]

I'm hoping for anything over 80 on RT. Anything in the 90's would be glorious!

Anything under 80% I'll be a little upset honestly.

 

[SikeMullivan]

TASM got a 76%. I generally consider anything over 70 something that I should at least give a chance. It's usually 50/50 whether or not I like it though. I wouldn't be devastated if it ended up in the high 70s, but I'd be disappointed if it gets less than TASM.

TASM1 has a 73% actually. Not that I care too much about RT scores, but I would be disappointed if TASM2 got lower than the first film. I'd say high 70s or low 80s would be good enough.

 

[JOE]

SM2 and TDK are both tied at 94% aren't they?

 

[Picard Sisko]

SM2 and TDK are both tied at 94% aren't they?

Yup, I believe so.
