Remember the consensus after SM2? The franchise could do no wrong at that time.

The evening ticket price at one of the Cinemark theaters where I live is $5.50. Not a discount theater. It might be one of only a handful in the country that shows new movies for that price though.

Ah, I see what you did there...you stated opinion as fact. So so clever you are. Spider-man 2 is still the best IMO, by far.

You must be joking.

Not saying it won't make a profit. But 250-275m would be a huge drop in admissions, and it doesn't have a small enough budget for anyone to call it a big success. A successful reboot surpasses the last film's unadjusted gross.

250-275m isn't a disaster, but when you factor in 3d, IMAX, inflation, and the recently reported 200m+ budget, well....

@ Grey GhostGood for you, kiddo.

The Amazing Spider-man80% fullTrailers:Total Recall - silenceThe Dark Knight Rises (Nokia trailer) - whispers...yes, looks spectacularLawless - silenceThe Watch - laughsFun Size - nothingMovie: B-Good - Good performances, especially from Garfield, Stone, and Leary. Great VFX with the exception of some obvious green screens. The comedic scenes with Peter at or school or Peter discovering his powers are the most enjoyable of the film. The romantic banter between Peter and Gwen is fun and engaging. There are individual scenes that stand out such as Bad - The Lizard is a beat for beat copy of the Green Goblin, except now with a There are many plot holes regarding Oscorp security, Peter's ability to , and the logic of a Peter's courtship of Gwen is rushed while the Uncle Ben's death doesn't have the emotional oomph that it should have.The first hour is pretty good and entertaining despite a few flaws and the fact it's covering old ground, but the second hour and change falls apart. Audience response afterward was mixed. A lot of "it was okay."

Yes.

Okay, that is pretty silly.

Overall, enjoyed the movie, the audience was great and helped the overall experience. 8/10 Good god I don't like people sometimes. Is it that hard to seperate from your phone for two hours?

I've been calling a breakout for Ted since the first trailer. Never thought it'd be 50m OW big though.

With a 65m 3-day, Sony better hope Tues/Wed/Thurs are substantial.

It'll do 70-80m for the 3-day.

Numbers make sense. On Fri there were two sellouts for MM at my theater and none for Ted. On Sat there were none for MM and three sellouts for Ted.

I just hope that if they make an ASM 2, that they give us a real villian, and not another sympathetic father figure who goes a little crazy.

Thank goodness. After That's My Boy flopping, we needed another R-rated hit or two.

Ted will be number one. Both will drop about the same today.

Well, since studios always make excuses when original concepts perform well (there's an article about their response to Inception that's pretty pathetic), that's probably what they'll say. But most people who went to MM probably didn't know anything about Tatum's past.

It's a huge triumph for original films not based on pre-existing material.

So so glad that Madea didn't steal the weekend like she has in the past. I was wrong about Magic Mike, but I was also oh so right about Ted having huge appeal.

Eh, he's had better performances (Boogie Nights is his best). He was good in it, but merely "good" shouldn't warrant a nomination.

You hate PJ and LOTR. We get it.

LMAO, you fellas REALLY want Magic Mike to break out...
