will "SPIDER-MAN 3" make more then the previous two?

[Naite22]

Yes, it looks truly amazing.

I loved the themes from the first two movies, and can't wait to see this movie's dark tone, and how it applies to general life.

Me too... The themes from the last two movie's was perfect! It's time to go darker!

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

It got over $132 mil in its first 3 days.

lest not forget it's hit the billion dollar mark, a truly incredible feat

 

[Fran]

Yes, I didn't forget that.

I think SM3, especially after this new trailer hits, has a great shot at toppling DMC's records.

 

[chaseter]

I agree.The first one made over 400 million domestically and 400 million is a huge number for domestic alone.Next year is loaded (Pirates 3, HP5, Shrek 3, ect) and it possibly could hurt Spidey's box office.I definetly see Spidey making more than the second movie domestically.I'm not sure about worldwide since I forgot SM-2's worldwide gross.

Next summer is going to be one of the best movie years in a long time. I think SM3 will do really good. I really don't want to say how much it will make but I think it will surpass the second one. SM1 will be hard to beat.

 

[gvcool2]

I can't see spider-man hitting the billion dollar mark, i just can't see it

 

[Fran]

I can. I believe in Spider-Man.

 

[deathshead2]

It really won't be possible. 1. The pubic seems to be a little tired of comic book movies proof x-3 legs didn't last long,zooms BO failure but really who didn't see that coming, and Superman making lower than critcs thought. 2. This year it was really possible for DMC to make alot of money. Just look at the movies not many more sequils to others. But in O7 we have shiek 3,new TMNT,POTC3,Rocky 5,Harry Potter 5, fantastic four 2,transformers,and a new Borne movie. And im sure im leaving out some other heavy hitters. Its going to be really hard for any movie next year to make even more than its budget with all of these around.POTC3 won't even hit the numbers DMC did and I doupt any of these movies will get past $450 mill over here. But of corse im not counting oversea markets.

 

[Gamma Burst]

Imo,It probably will make more tah S-M2 and almost as much as the first.

 

[Lantern Venom]

I think the chances are great... I mean you just can't see the teaser trailer alone, and not be the slightest bit interested in what the hell is up with that black suit!... also it's the third movie of the most popular superhero franchise out there. Just think when the theatrical trailer hits on Nov.17'th! What do you guys think?

It's hard to tell. People loyal to Spidey will go see it regardless but what gives a movies legs at the BO is good word-of-mouth and repeat viewings. It will make plenty of $$$,but outdrawing it's predecessors won't be easy.

 

[Mito88]

it will make a crap load due to the Venom hype.

 

[muscaremy]

theres just to much in terms of anticipated movies for next yr... i dont think any of em will do huge business unless they have the time to themselves...youve got Spidey 3,Shrek 3,Pirates 3,Potter 5,F4 2,new TMNT,live action Transformers,and im sure theres more that will come out that we dont know bout now so its gonna be hard

 

[Naite22]

^seriously, out of ALL of the movie's listed above, SPIDER-MAN 3 is DEFINITLY the most anticipated, without question!

 

[jimmylace]

It's heavily anticipated, but I don't think there has ever been a time wherea sequel outperformed it's predecessor. 1st movies always attract more people, out of curiosity....but theres always going to be people who didnt like what they saw. so the 2nd took in those who were still interested, and those that liked 2 will see 3. I'm surprised the budget is so big on this one.....I think it has the potential to be the best of the 3 story-wise. If it does do better than teh others, I dont think 3 will ever be topped as it has the most popular baddie.........

 

[Batman2008]

Well, in comparison, The Phantom Menace made more than Revenge of the Sith and ROTS had the biggest plotline. How did Anakin turn to the darkside as well as the lightsaber fight against Obi-wan being the biggest interest. So I figured ROTS would have made more money.

With Venom coming into the third movie, you would figure it would make more than the first. But if you compare it to the Star Wars prequels, that might not be the case.

 

[Homem-Aranha#1]

Although this movie is highly anticipated, i think it will make less money than the previous 2. Here's why: this film has a much darker tone than the others, so i don't think many parents will choose it for their kids;
2nd: it will have heavy competition (shrek 3, POTC3)- both family features. POTC2 made so much money, imagine its conclusion.

So i don't think this movie has much of a chance. Of course all the fans will be there but it's not enough...

 

[Batman2008]

Fans will flock. Average movie-goers might not attend.

That is a good comparison. ROTS was much darker than the first two prequels. SM3 looks like it could be darker than 1&2. That means the parents of the 4, 5 & 6 year olds might keep them away.

 

[matrix_ghost]

Spiderman 3 will make more then the second movie , but IMO less then the first movie..
The first movie had a combination of factors that ultimately proved to work really well for the movie's BO.

It was , if i'm not mistaken, the first movie that brought back the audience to the cinemas after the 9/11 attacks.
When it was announced that Sam Raimi was going to direct it , many people loved the idea simply because Raimi delivered great movie such as the Evil Dead movie.
Casting Tobey meant that they were actually using someone who could act.
And if i have compare SR with this , it shows just why CGI was made to make the transition from comics to movies.
Spiderman had a superhero villain. Everything from the glider to the sadistic laughs ( c'mon DAFOE PLAYED the role incredibly well). It all just fit right.


With Spidey 2 , depsite it being touted as the better movie , personally i don't that is true. While CGI is leaps and bounds better then the first movie in terms of realism and fluidity , i think the 1) pacing was bad ( the first 1/3'rd was good , the second was a snoozefest and last third was all out action) , 2) Molina while being a great actor really missed the makro of being menacing. Dafoe made lines that sounds silly on page , sound great "We'll meet again SPIDERMAN !!!!" whereas Molina didn't IMO ( Butterfingers , The power of the sun in my hands).
And 3) the love story. It was just something that look forced and a really in you're face type of lovestory. It just didn't feel natural and realistic.
And it showed at the BO. While still performing as a massive blockbuster , Spiderman 2 made less domestic and internationally.

But with Spiderman 3 , i think they'll have alot of things settled.
The pacing would seem to be improved. With essentially 2 villains dominating the movie ( Venom will most likely be shown at the end ) i don't think there will be whiny love stories. Spidey will be needed all over the place so there will be a fair bit of action.

I'll reserve my judgement of the villainous performance of THC until after i've seen the movie. Visually at least , the fights between SPiderman and Sandman will be awesome. No doubt. I had my fears when i thougt that sandeffects would look like the mummy but with the teaser and the comic-con footage , i think they got the efefcts working right.
James Franco shows that he can act and i do think he'll make a great goblin. And if hopefully they can get more scenes with him and Dafie pumping him up , it would be even better .
Venom is of course the fan favorite that many would want to see. But IMO it's only reserved til last , so we really should have to do with Eric Foreman acting all humany and stuff.
Which leads me to the next point.

Spiderman/Peter parker and the symbiote. I'm really interested in seeing these aspects explored. And with the rumors of THC being in someway connected to Ben's death , it would definately make for a interestig way of portraying you're heroes as flawed and almost egomaniacal.

Spidey 3 looks like an improvement of Spidey 2 , but given the subsequent release of Shrek 3 and the major movie to beat , POTC3 : AWE , i don't see this movie making more then the first one domestically. It will surpass the second one .

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

i think spiderman3 will make more.

 

[ISHMAEL]

i think PO3 will be like Matrix Revoultuions because it isnt enough time to advertise it like Matrix 3 plus most people including me was just a run for your money until the third

 

[Carnotaur3]

Spider-Man 3 will make more money than the previous ones.

Here's why:

1. Promises more.

2. Darker, more mature: brings the other people who thought the other two were fluffy teddy bears into the seats.

3. Venom.

4. Interesting take on the story that feels unpreditible and fresh.

5. Spider-Man 2 was better than Spider-Man 1 to most viewers. So, the general public will think it can only get better.

Here's why the children will be seeing:

1. There are no parents in the world left. Honestly? What parent prevents them from seeing a superhero movie, even if it's dark as hell?

2. It'll still be rated PG-13 and parents will approve if the MPAA does.

3. Parents took babies to King Kong.... honest to God! That's wrong, but they did.

 

[Naite22]

^ agreed!

 

[Fanticon]

1 made over $400 mil, and 2 made around $300 mil.

I'd say that 3 will break $400 easily. It is hugely anticipated (more so than PotC3 unless the previews make it amazing.).

I'd say $400-450 mil for 3.

maybe u should get your "around" figures straight...saying spider man 2 made "around" 300 million is making it sound like it performed like sh**...it made 376million to be exact...just "around" 20 million shy of what the first one made.

I don't think 3 will break 400million...infact I think it'll make a little less than 2. there are too many big movies coming out in may...POTC3 and Shrek 3...if you remember...Shrek 2 made 432freakinMillion!? the same summer that Spiderman 2 came out...POTC2, surpassed spiderman 1's take...this one may look like its going to be the best...but that doesn't mean a whole lot when it comes to B.O. Just look at the summer line up...none of the 3 biggest movies of next May SM3,Shrek 3, POTC3 can make it passed the 400m mark.
if either of those films do cross the 400m mark...one of the three is gonna get burned...like below 300m burned. Look at the track records here...if Shrek pulls a repeat...it means it'll make more...if POTC pulls a repeat...it will make more...if Spiderman pulls a repeat...its going to make less.

all i have to say to the title of this thread is ummm....

DUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh.....
