BOX OFFICE: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Has The Second Biggest Opening Of 2012 In The UK

Being a British fan myself, i thoroughly enjoyed the film but The Dark Knight Rises will finish its reign at number 1 I think!

Needs to beat the Avengers... We need to beat Titanic

That's awesome. I really enjoyed The Amazing Spider-Man but a storm is coming!

I think the dark knight will do well just because people will have high expectations from the last,so even if it ends up being a shit movie it would still make alot of money,it wont blow avengers out of the water though

TDKR will open big, I think word of mouth is going to hurt its run though. Looks like shit.

@SirWinsalot- STOP FOR [frick]S SAKE YOU WHINY BITCH. All I hear from you is "TDKR will own this, this sucks, Marvel Turd this and Marvelite that"
Jeez just shut up and enjoy something apart from TDKR.

so... Never.

TASM was better than the avengers, which was also good, but its huge success comes from the new design, from the different marvel heroes in one movie. If only it had a real story and score plus spiderman in it, then it would have been the best CBM, but maybe in the future.

TASM really surprised me.

Well deserved ... This movie is awesome ... Some of you do youselves a favor and stop bringing up other movies ... You think this makes you look like some kind of credible movie critics ..... :D ... just stop ... you dont have to point out things that are obvious , that doesnt make you smarter or more sophisticated

@Vegakingblade-

@teabag Just want to say thanks for those photos. :)

Great film!! bring on a second!! AND THAT IS ALL!!!

Fair play The Amazing Spider-men was bloody awesome. Can't wait for the sequel. Enter Norman Osborn. Can't believe Captain George Stacey got killed off. I think Webb could've waited til the sequel to kill him off.

WHAT Captain Stacy got killed off in the first movie!? I haven't seen it yet.

And personally as long as a CBM knocks the hell out of Titanic from the number one spot in my time I'll be a happy man.

Wouldn't it be funny if the three top openings in the UK were all superhero films?

And just for a CBM reboot comparison, Batman Begins had a $48 million opening weekend, 2nd largest out of all the Bat movies at that time. It also went on to be the biggest grossing Batman film both domestic and worldwide until The Dark Knight annihilated every record set by any bat-film in history.

This Spider-man "too-soon" reboot is simply not living up to its predecessors as well.

"held off competition from the likes of Ice Age 4: Continental Drift, The Five-Year Engagement and Katy Perry: Part of Me."

LOL!

not bad,marvel regins supreme in the uk.

@Ceejay first off SM3 left a bad taste in almost everyone's mouth so it Defiently plays a role. Spiderman 2 made less domestically. SM1 approval rating on RT is 60% thus further supporting why SM2 made less than SM1 and SM3 made the most out of all because of SM2. If the previous film was bad AND it's a too soon reboot its bound not to make as much as the previous films. TASM is the 2nd best overall with the Genereal Audince scoring A- with CinemaScore and a 84% with RT I would say its a pretty solid film with almost every Audince member. And with some it's the best out yet, I can assure you the sequel will make the most out of all and be the best out of all. Sorry but TASM just delivered and it's gonna have an Amazing sequel.

Seems that TDKR trolls/tryhards have a new found confidence, shame, cause to them only Nolan's films exist. They are under this idea that every Batman film has been top notch.

Sadly I broke my vow of not seeing this in a theatre, but silly kid made me go. Fortunately no $'s were spent from my pocket to view it.

I am glad to report though that the movie didn't disappoint. It was a fckin mess. Thanks Sony!

I will give them credit though as you could see that they tried to be ambitious with it, but it ended up being way too long for a near 2.5 hour movie which was probably closer to 3.5 hours until Sony realized that that was too long and cut out tons o material.

SPOILERS..................

Why did Papa Stacy feel the need to hunt Spidey over a 10+ foot Lizard when given the choice? IT'S a FCK'IN 10+ FOOT LIZARD THROWING CARS OFF BRIDGES AND ATTACKING PUBLIC SCHOOLS, but sure, let's hunt a 5'11 120lbs guy who webs up criminals... good call chief!

What happened to the school fight right after Stan Lee's cameo? Garfield had his mask off for no reason and Lizard was gone. Why??

The "heroic" moment at the end with Connors holding Spidey. After the initial stop, why didn't Petey say to Connors "No worries bro, I can stick to walls" instead of a pointless struggle to hold Spiderman up???

And WHAT the FCK was the point of that crane scene?? "He helped my kid, everyone works overtime!" WTF?? Did spidey forget that he can swing from ANY solid object IE; buildings??

And don't even get me started on a Hulk body + tail and goomba face = this movies version of the Lizard.

Absolute crap.

I hope you CBM'ers got plenty of Sony bucks for your awesome 4/5 reviews :)

I thought TASM was great. Haters gonna hate. That'd be funny if some of the users talking all the smack on the Amazing spiderman was actually Kirsten Dunst or Tobey Maguire haha

Movie wise ...TDKR will be a more gripping movie ..acting wise..more suspenseful for sure .....but avengers was just an event unlike any other it was amazing to pull off those characters together in one movie ...but u honestly cant compare batman to avengers ...they r totally two types of movies ....one more action and fantasy ....other more dramatic suspensful and hints or realism . TASM was another great marvel film ....i loved how they did it ...sony did great ...giving marvel more control room for how they did it .....fox realized that when marvel is allowed to do it ...it can be great ...thats why the new xmen first class ..pretty much a reboot was good as well loved how they did professor x and magneto and kevin bacon was great as shaw......the only other movie coming out that is gonna be a able to hit near the awesome event of avengers as in action and specticule is gonna be superman ....it has the potential to make a parr stab .....trust me ...he is the most iconic comic character of all time ...dc or marvel fan would have to agree ...people all over the world ...even people who dont even know comics ...know him ......with the powers he has and the villians they can use ...it could be a worthy event if done right i always said ....im hope man of steel is the superman movie ..comic fans deserve ....the fight the powers the earth at stake ...all that ...not say!!!!! its gonna be better than avengers ...but its more of a action fantasy event than tdkr ......tdkr ...will be the great of the films in terms of a full put together movie ...but the man of steel will be a event if it doesnt turn out to be another failed atempt. If it fails ..let me write the next try ....people want to see earth in jepordy...a powerful villlian for supes to fight.....think they did nice using zod instead of luther ...luther is burnt out ...he can be a secondary protagnist if need be ...they could do a braniac/lex in sequel...then on to doomsday or darksied

Ceejay .....also keeep in mind that was the first time spidey hit the big screeen and ...people didnt have a ton of visual effect driven movies to compete and the economy wasnt as bad .....got put the situation into prospective before comparing movies .....the amazing spiderman was btr for the most part then any of the previous three ....keeep all in mind when trying to compare movie totals
