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

[MessiahDecoy123]

I think 250/400 is a fantastic split for a reboot, even with the 3-D spike and inflation. It obviously isn't going to break records but it is consistent with what we saw with The Incredible Hulk.

Reboots just aren't going to light a fire in audience anticipation. 650-700 WW is nothing to cry about. I expect some steep drops in the coming weekends, tracking no better than IM2 or worse. But still solid. I think they can squeeze out a solid trilogy out of this but unless they blow us out of the water Sony has long since hit its ceiling with Spidey IMO.

I think Marvel made the same mistake with the five year gap for the Hulk reboot. Why was TIH even neccessary??? What exactly did it set up? "We are putting a team together..." was pretty much the only thing that wet your mouth. Outside of that, it was another Banner/Ross chase movie. Imagine had they done a Hulk movie in 2013 with whomever was cast in Avengers. Marvel seemingly jumped the gun, but a Spidey reboot was obviously legitamized in order to extend Sony's rights.

The only question is will Sony get aggressive and desperate and try to work Spidey into a larger project. The Venom crossover (if you can even call it that) isn't enough. If they build to something like the Sinister Six or some type of major Marvel event, and then you may see Spidey do a fantastic number at the box office again.

Another sub-700 m WW prediction for the final gross. When it will be close to 400 m WW today.

400M WW after 5 days, are you sure?

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Well it's been out in a dozen countries for 10 days and has been out for 6 days in most of the world and there's nothing official yet...

but yes, it should be around 400 m by today or tomorrow.

Includes North American forecast.

I'm waiting for international numbers I hope their above $260M

 

[chaseter]

It will make more than Batman Begins so you dont have to worry about that

I don't care what this makes in relation to Batman Begins so I am not worried. I am really not worried about the box office at all as we will keep getting Spidey movies no matter what. Either Sony sells and Marvel gets it back or Sony keeps making movies. Either way, we will be getting another Spidey movie soon.

I think after the success of the Avengers, Sony will definately allow the character of Spidey to appear in Avengers 2.

WORD and just a question in case Sony looses the rights of Spidey to Marvel does that mean another reboot or they can take this franchise and continue with Andrew,Emma and Marc Webb?

 

[Jexx]

I dunno, it may have to be another reboot.

 

[JP]

I still don't understand everyone's desire to see Spidey in a film where her just doesn't belong in.



EDIT:

That gives the 3D reboot a 6-day total of $140M through Sunday and $341.2M cume worldwide.

[Jexx]

Because The Avengers and Spider-Man are both awesome, and people love the idea of seeing them together.

I only want Spidey to be part of the shared universe. I don't particularly care if he ever shares the screen with the Avengers.

 

[Jexx]

I only want to see Spidey as a cameo if a MCU movie ever takes place in New York (Manhattan) again.

I agree....would be nice they drop a name in the Avengers....you know like

Cap: We could surely use Spider-Man right now.

Hawk: Yeah, unfortunately no one knows how to contact him; we don't know who he is.

IM: I certainly don't have anything in my database on him.

 

[Jexx]

They mentioned Doctor Strange in the Raimi trilogy, surely they can do the above.

 

[Eddie Brock]

I was thinking more that they could use ESU or the Daily Bugle. It will feel incredibly forced if they bring up Spider-Man just to bring up Spider-Man.

 

[chaseter]

It's what I bet my house on.

 

[Jexx]

If you loose who gets your house?

 

[spider-neil]

It's what I bet my house on.

Spidey can show Tony who is the best wise arse in the MU

 

[Venom'sDad]

I disagree....not if they are trying to show continuity in the Marvel Universe. Your suggestion is not a bad idea either.

 

[Jexx]

Uhh... in terms of when in their real personas (Peter Parker and Tony Stark), Tony would still win. Tony doesn't make that many jokes in the suit.

 

[Jexx]

I was thinking more that they could use ESU or the Daily Bugle. It will feel incredibly forced if they bring up Spider-Man just to bring up Spider-Man.

How about Cap picking up a Daily Bugle newspaper and reading something about Spider-Man and then mentioning to whoever else is with him "Hey, how about this guy? He would be a good member."

Again, just feels forced.

 

[terry78]

I don't think the characters really talk like that.
