The Amazing Spider-Man The Amazing Spider-Man: Box Office Thread - Part 1

[Spiderdevil]

They all got decent to great reviews. Considering how many crappy comic book films have been made, getting 6 out of 6 which more or less knocked it out of the park is quite a feat. Don't see how you can just downplay that.

Okay I will explain it another way
TASM has been certified fresh,but it isnt perfect by any stretch of Imagination but a great start to the trilogy nonetheless
And if the remaining 2 sequels are of the same caliber of TASM and do not improve I would be severly dissappointed(Even if they are certified fresh like TASM) and wont consider it an acheivement in any way

How can you just dismiss the third biggest movie of all time and still think your argument holds any water?!

Like I said,I care about the Individual Spider man movies rather than how he looks and works in that team of superheros
I will be severely disappointed if we see a below par Spider-Man movie by marvel even if Avengers 2 ends up grossing 2Billion

Alright, fine we'll play it your way. Counting just the 5 'individual' movies, they have 'individually' made over 2 billion dollars combined.
I dont see anything average about that.

The 3 spider man movies before TASM have made 2.5 Billion overall
And thats 2 movies less and half a billion more.
Booyah!!

The lowest performing movie, the Hulk, still made profit with 263 million. Not great, obviously, but still enough to make a profit.

263M of a 150M budget,Going by that Ratio its kay for TASM to earn 360M WW?
LOL this board would go into meltdown if that happens

Iron man 1 and 2 made 585 million and 625 million worldwide, respectively. Once again: HOW IS THAT AVERAGE?!? That's fantastic money that most franchises would kill to make.
Then you have Thor and Cap which made, respectively, 449 and 368 million. Not iron man money, but still enough to warrant sequels which at the end of the day is how you consider a movie a success or not.

SM1 has close to 900M of a 130M budget and I am not even counting the other 350 odd million made from DVD sales and stuff
Nuf' Said

And then you have the box office juggernaut that is the avengers but oh that's right... We're not counting that for some reason
Look you can dislike the MS movies all you want, you're more than entitled to feel that way but to downplay their success is straight ignorance.

And I stand by my claim that barring avengers their box office success is average at best
And I am Barring the avengers because I want to show their supposed success with the individual movies

But audience reaction, word of mouth from the GA, and box office numbers all show that most people felt that the Avengers was the superior film.

Once again,ridiculous comparison
Avengers has 5 movies behind it while TASM is an origin movie.
Compare TASM to Thor or TIH for pete's sake

You can argue semantics about why you felt ASM was better, but to say which ones a more successful film critically and financially... You already have an answer, just look anywhere on the Internet and see which one is almost universally praised and which one has it's fair share of naysayers.

The individual Marvel movies(except IM1) are not a patch of SM1,SM2 or TASM

 

[Spiderdevil]

your right that guy is ridiculous the only one marvel didnt hit on was hulk.iron man and thor are not a list heroes and made more than average money!

SM1 had a lesser budget than each one of them and earned almost thrice as much

Just showing you how much more capable sony is than Marvel

 

[Spiderdevil]

I dont know what Kind of movies you would like,but I would hate to see plain action in a spider man movies like there was in avengers

As someone rightly said,the only emotional part was when Coulsen dies,and even then I felt nothing

TASM has plenty of heart which every Spider man movie should have

 

[Scarlettess]

soooo any news on the box office front? How it appears to be holding up against TDKR so far?

Based on estimates from deadline.com, ASM has had a sizable drop from last weekend, but that was kind of expected with TDKR.

It appears with the shooting tragedy, official numbers may not be released til after the weekend:

[bapi]

Yeah, DHD predicting 60% drop. And when I see OS numbers... really believe it'll make less than Spider-Man 2 (783M). Brilliant!

 

[Scarlettess]

I don't get it....Why's it brilliant that it'll make less than SM2?

 

[ShadowEdgeworth]

Yeah, DHD predicting 60% drop. And when I see OS numbers... really believe it'll make less than Spider-Man 2 (783M). Brilliant!

...How, exactly? It's still made a ton more money than the majority of other movies this year, so it's nowhere near a failure.

For a reboot, it's done spectacularly well, better than Batman Begins, and look at how that franchise grew.

TASM's sequels will match, if not surpass the originals IMO.

Simple: bapi's a prick

Because it's awful. And yes still will make a lot of money.

 

[JOE]

Because it's awful. And yes still will make a lot of money.

Awful? Hardly.

 

[Scarlettess]

Because it's awful. And yes still will make a lot of money.

in your opinion. According to the majority of reviews and word of mouth and many people on here as well as money, say otherwise. There are much much worse movies.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

It deserves more money than SM3.

Even most haters don't try and deny ASM is superior to SM3.

 

[sontin]

Even most haters don't try and deny ASM is superior to SM3.

It's not better than SM3. ASM is as bad as SM3:
Stupid plot, stupid plot holes, stupid deux ex machines.

Can't really see why people would love this movie and hate SM3.

 

[JOE]

SM3 = Worst movie of trilogy = Most money at Box Office.
SM2 = Best movie of trilogy = Least money at Box Office.

This being said, it's safe to say that the money earned and quality of the movie have an inversed relationship. Mathematically, TASM is as good as SM2, right?

 

[Joe_Kickass]

No, but it is wrong when you made 'rolls eyes' one word

Guarantee you that the success of TDK caused inflated review scores for TDKR. Add onto that it was also the end of a successful movie franchise.
Same thing happened to Lord of The Rings, despite many believing Fellowship was the best movie, ROTK received much more attention and won more awards. Also same thing with the last HP movie. It received VERY high review scores despite it being the shortest HP movie. Of course a lot people won't admit this. I'm not going to trust any user scores when it comes to this movie at all though, especially after reading the comments on RT. Those were the most hardcore fanboys I have ever seen. Which I haven't been that interested in seeing it anyone, the Nolanites killed all of my excitement from seeing by constantly promoting it and TDK on every movie forum in existence. Every time every movie that I like won an award tons of Nolanites would whine and say that that movie didn't deserve that since TDK didn't win it. The hype killed it for me to be honest.

3 tons of cheese less alone makes this much better. No dancing for the sake of cheap laughs is a good thing on itself.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

ASM made me care about the characters and relate to them, it awed me with iconic imagery and kinetic action, and had me and audience constantly laughing out loud.

I would've walked out of SM3 had I watched it at the movie theater. It was embarrassment to Spider-man fans and comic films in general. Just 2 hours of watching Raimi wipe his butt with Spider-man characters.

It was the opposite of ASM which received a loud applause from my crowd by the credits.

ASM = 84% user rating from Rottentomatoes

SM3 = 54%

lmao!

What was Deus Ex about this movie considering a large part of it's plot and the aspects of its characters followed the comic books? There weren't plot holes, everything will be explained. Uncle Ben even said on the voicemail at the end of the movie "You have a lot of unresolved things in your life Peter." while the camera panned over a picture of Uncle Ben's killer and Peter's parents, implying that it will be resolved in the future, since this was viewed as a trilogy since the beginning. And sure you complain and say "Well this movie was suppose to be able to stand on it's own", but at least you know the reason why it doesn't quite do that.

But, you can't really use the user scores yet, because SM3 has been out for 5 years while TASM has been out for 2 weeks.

Exactly, the worse the Spider-man the movie the more cash it made worldwide.

The best ones fell under 800 m.

 

[Jexx]

I actually felt like TDKR was fairly equal to TDK and BB. :/

Almost 300,000 voters and I can't use the ASM user score?

Nice try, buddy.

When has additional user ratings caused a movie's rating to drop 30 points?

People are going to suddenly think ASM is terrible. If anything the score will go up as casual fans discover ASM on dvd and tv and see it is severely underrated.

Those 300,000 aren't all user score ratings though.
Because the night after the movie premiered and the user score was shown, it had the exact same number as the number of people who were anticipating the movie. Which means that the anticipation score before the movie comes out isn't erased, it seems to still remain for some reason. Add onto that the user rating has changed AT ALL, when most movies the score usually dips a little as time passes by. I doubt 200,000 people put their user score on RT after the midnight premiere, because that was the number that was there.
