Spidey will do fine this weekend, only 3D show and only imported film of note (yes, specifically referring to you, Jason Statham) on screens...plus, family auds will be back, no other animated to distract it. Next week will be a different story with X out in full force (go X-men!). Just don't see Coming Home, despite the huge show count share, to be 500 mil huge, it will do 300 thereabouts methinks.

Thought so, competition is too weak for it not to top 500 since Godzilla moved off next weekend (or got moved off , more aptly). Sony has got to be hurting though...how are they going to launch Venom and Sinister Six on the backs of this? It could not even hold off Seth Rogen and Zac Efron in N. America on its second weekend...they apparently boasted that this will be the second highest grossing imported film in China after Transformers 4, now I don't know if it can hold off X-Men:DOFP or Godzilla.

I don't recall but doesn't seem to be the kind of movie the authorities would warm too. I cited DVC because back in the day, the movie was on screens for maybe two weeks and was forcibly pulled down from the screens in the name of the Vatican being upset by it...for religious reasons clearly. The ridiculous thing is the Vatican doesn't even have formal ties with China. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/10/world/asia/10china.html?_r=0

Does that mean US$90M - 100M can be ruled out? Just a hunch, Sony will still spin that it is better than TASM1, or that it is the highest grossing film in the series, therefore failing to account the fact that the market has grown immeasurably since Raimi's Spideys, specially with 3D and IMAX in play, and will ignore to mention that TASM1 was shafted by the Batman duke out and really should have done 500-600 easily were it not screwed by dating (3 months after US, last day of Summer) and competition head to head.

I'm a little more optimistic than Firedeep but probably not quite as positive as Columbia China. With nothing on the 3D, IMAX or foreign film front for another 17 days, I think Spidey will be 500+ close to 600 when it's said and done, this weekend will be key. Otherwise, fire deep is right in saying day 1 was no normal "work day" and that the drop on Monday while drastic, is not tragic.
