The Hollywood Reporter has posted the latest figures for Marc Webb's reboot of the Sony Pictures franchise, The Amazing Spider-Man. $15.8 million yesterday means that it has now made a domestic total of $75 million as it held off competition from Katy Perry: Part of Me (which opened with a forgettable $3.1 million for the #5 spot. The superhero movie (starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans) is currently expected to earn somewhere between $125 million and $140 million during its six day run, although no one seems quite certain how well it will perform this weekend. However, The Amazing Spider-Man is now open in virtually every territory and may very well end up hitting $250 million worldwide by close of business on Sunday.





The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.


STARRING:

Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man
Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy
Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors/The Lizard
Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben

What was the budget on TASM?
hungergamesgal - 7/6/2012, 12:41 PM
Nice film. Andrew was cute and it dealt with a lot of complex issues.
Ranger14 - 7/6/2012, 12:53 PM
The funny/interesting thing is that Katy Perry and Magic Mike are being better received than than TASM.

Spidey31 - 7/6/2012, 1:10 PM
@Ranger like I said, those aren't reboots so critcs can't really hate on those lol
ClarkFarley2012 - 7/6/2012, 1:56 PM
Just got done watching it. I will tell you there are some copy catting from the first Spiderman. Not going to spoil it for ppl who haven't seen it. I'll just say the part on the bridge was one of the most iconic scenes in CB history. I loved his suit. Everyone did a good job, I wish Dr. Connors and Captain Drafts would've got more screen time. 8/10.
UrbanKnight - 7/6/2012, 2:18 PM
I hope it get close to 300 million domestic when the dust settles.
SuspenseSmith - 7/6/2012, 3:08 PM
@magic8

I convinced 15 people to go see it that didn't want to see it before. [frick] you, haters. There definitely is a word of mouth getting around.
SuspenseSmith - 7/6/2012, 3:09 PM
Oh and three people that did see it on my recommendation loved it and are going farther than I am telling people to see it in 3D if the can.
SuspenseSmith - 7/6/2012, 3:09 PM
*they can
LiquidSmoke - 7/6/2012, 3:16 PM

Lindsey35 - 7/6/2012, 4:07 PM
First week, pretty good, y'know guys its only been out 5 days.
No matter how much it makes I'll still love it!
Lindsey35 - 7/6/2012, 4:10 PM
@ Mysterion

LOL, perfect time to post that!

Even though both Spider-Men cried, nothing was as convincing as Andrew's. At least he cried like a man, Toby's reminded me of a girl, lmbo.
R888 - 7/6/2012, 4:29 PM
AWESOME [frick]ING FILM, GO SPIDERMAN GO SPIDERMAN
webslinger2099 - 7/6/2012, 5:16 PM

usclerkguy - 7/6/2012, 6:14 PM
Spidey might not make 1 Billion at Box Office, BUT it doesn't have to!!! MOST consistent mmoneymaker that Sony will never give up! 800 million worldwide is nothing to sneeze about!!!
BenderDickCumPatch - 7/6/2012, 6:34 PM
YES!
Emanuel14 - 7/6/2012, 7:09 PM
@Ranger14 AND...?
Spidey31 - 7/6/2012, 7:47 PM
A- on CinemaScore and 84% on RT The people in the theater I was at loved it no applause but you could hear " I liked it" " I liked it better than SM1" domes said " I like the orginal better" but that was one guy overall my theater( second viewing) liked it a bunch you could tell they all fell in love with PP. so there is Defiently a good word of mouth getting around no denying that.
Ceejay - 7/6/2012, 8:36 PM
Make that 72% on RT, it was at 78% this yesterday and gone down another 6% in a day. Good word of mouth is not gonna be what people tell their friends, more like not worth watching the origin told again when it was sufficiently told merely 10 years ago.
BenderDickCumPatch - 7/6/2012, 8:55 PM
People are falling in love with Garfield already.
