What happened to 'Seeking a Friend'? It has completely disappeared of the chartz.... Last weekend it made over 3 million and this weekend it has apparently made less than 50k. Something is wrong there...


It actually ended up making a little over $1 million dollars its second week it did drop 72% over last weekend the biggest drop of all the movies in the top 20.  Since it only had a $10 million dollar budget even if it isn't profitable at the box office it will start making money once it will hit Blu-Ray/DVD on demand.

The amazing spiderman is going to be bigger than anyone has anticipated. Huge opening!


Lets hope so it did get beat by Ice Age 4 on its opening week overseas.  Which isn't all bad since Ice Age 3 is the second highest grossing animated movie overseas and so far going by reviews it looks like Ice Age 4 is slightly better then the 3rd movie.

Spidey will need at least 500 million world wide just to potentially make a profit. I would say less, but marketing has been in your face everywhere! 220 million for the budget alone! Almost on par with the rediculous budget for MIB3, except spidey has a better chance than Will Smiths latest big budget movie to make a big profit.

Still, a lot of people are still sour over the last movie. So we shall see. I am going to see it because I mildly enjoyed spidery 3.


MIB 3 is closing in on $600 million at the world wide box office so it will make a profit.  The Amazing Spider-Man should be able to make at least that much also but I doubt it really has to make that much since it will make a tons of money on merchandising.  When it comes to merchandising it will probably make the second most money behind The Avengers when it comes to movies released in 2012.

Yeah, but Spiderman opened in way less markets and had monstrous debuts throughout Asia. The only underwhelming market was Germany ($4.2m), but thats probably because of Euro 2012.



spurgeonryan said:
I agree with you.^ MIB3 was a surprise, and Spider-man will have it easier. Is it strange that you have to break spiderman up on box office when You search for it?


Why do you think Spiderman "will have it easier"? Are you refering to the July 4th boost?

According to wiki both MIB3 and Spidey have about the same budget ($215m and $220) and MIB3 is on $600m income.

If Spiderman made that much after a month I would be surprised but not shocked.

Obviously spiderman is a bigger franchise. 800-1 billion dollars ww easily.


Yeah it is a bigger franchise but history has shown in other cases that being a big franchise doesn't automatically mean the last release will surpass, equal or even come close to the previous releases in revenue.

Pirates of the Caribbean and Shrek were huge but look what happened to their last releases.

I am not saying you are wrong and it will not do 800m - 1bn dollars but I expected you had more to offer as a reason for it's potential success than simply being a bigger franchise.



The Amazing Spider-Man is the biggest opening domestically when it comes to the number of theater showing it, at 4,318 since The Avengers opened in 4,349 theaters on May the 1st.



'Amazing Spider-Man' Nets $7.5 Million at Midnight

by Ray Subers

The Amazing Spider-Man

 

July 3, 2012

The Amazing Spider-Man earned an estimated $7.5 million from midnight shows last night. Among comic book movies, that's much lower thanThe Avengers ($18.7 million) and The Dark Knight, but about on par with Iron Man 2 ($7.5 million). Sony is also reporting that the figure is identical to Spider-Man 3's midnight haul from the first weekend of May 2007. IMAX showings at 300 locations accounted for $1.2 million, or 16 percent of the gross.

While the Spider-Man 3 comparison is a flattering one (that movie wound up earning $151.1 million through its first three days), it isn't really an apples-to-apples one. With kids still in school, the first weekend of May rarely turns out strong midnight numbers, while all kids and many adults are off leading in to the Fourth of July holiday. Also, the way in which audiences attend midnight movies has changed noticeably in the past few years: the top eight midnight openings ever have taken place since 2009 (only five of the top eight opening weekends are in that same time frame). Finally, with the addition of 3D and the drastically increased number of IMAX venues, tickets for The Amazing Spider-Man are much more expensive than those for Spider-Man 3

Still, The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 3 are very different movies. The Amazing Spider-Man is a reboot with a completely fresh cast and some weird baggage associated with the previous franchise, while Spider-Man 3 was the highly-anticipated follow-up to the first two entries in Sam Raimi's franchise. For The Amazing Spider-Man to have the same midnight haul, even with inflated ticket prices and a more hospitable release date, is a minor accomplishment for sure.

It's hard to predict exactly how The Amazing Spider-Man will fare through its first six days, given the lack of comparable Tuesday releases. It is clear now that $100 million is a guarantee, while $150 million also appears to be a very reachable figure. 



$7.5m is huge for a Monday midnight opening! Crazy.

$1bn+ worldwide total is inevitable imo
