The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Record opening in Philippines and India, stabilizing elsewhere

[MattW]

I think low to mid 500s.  My general impression is that spiderman has reached market saturation and there will be little growth from here on out aside from inflation.  I could be wrong though.  We'll see.

Benefits from an open market and May Day. 

[John Marston]

the overseas release dates are so good. It will take advantage of Easter and the May holiday

Yeah. Plus it looks better than the first.

 

600-650 mill would not be surprising at all

despite all these advantages I expect haters to say it won't make as much as the first or barely increase because apparently nobody liked TASM

[John Marston]

why is it not opening everywhere on the 17th

[A Marvel Fanboy]

17th would be too early to benifit from May holiday. Plus CA2 three weeks earlier in some markets.

Is the May holiday just one day?

This one needs to increase by 22.5% os to touch 600m. I don't see it not doing that considering how fast international markets are growing and it's been 2 years. Most sequels to Spiderman, IM, PoTC, Shrek etc., irrespective of how they do domestically, have always grown os.

 

With TASM2 being a non-origin story that introduces new villains and being the biggest superhero film of the year, unlike 2012 when TA and TDKR came out, this one should show a huge jump os. Origin story releasing between TA and TDKR vs. new story releasing between CA2 and DoFP completely changes the equation.

 

I wouldn't count out a 30% jump to 637m. 25% would be 613m. 20% would be 588m.

I suppose it would be a long weekend this time in most places: Thursday-Sunday.

[John Marston]

it also opens on the 17th in some countries. Like the UK and Australia

[Rsyu]

Japan has golden week-April 29th & may 3rd-6th

Korea has something similar a week long holiday from may 1st to may 6th

 

I see TASM2 doing well in OS markets should be a good increase over the first. 

[Ash Skywalker]

600m is good & doable imo

[John Marston]

the release dates

I am just wondering why it opens on the 17th some places, the 24th other places, and on the 1st in some places. Why not open it on the 17 everywhere

[Dingdong123]

575M

Did anyone predict it to decrease in OS. I am predicting it to drop domestic but increase OS. I would say 250/550M for now. Os could go higher but I am not sure how developed markets perform.

[John Marston]

Can this be number one overseas for four weeks?

[avis121]

TASM2 will have the world-wide premiere in London tomorrow night. There was a screening for critics last night in the UK and the buzz seems to be overall positive for the film. It opens next Wednesday in the UK and a few other countries, with fairly sizeable weekend releases over the next 2 weeks, till the May 2nd kick-off in the US.

 

I won't be too surprised if it does score number one over at least the first 3 weekends after its OS release.

[A Marvel Fanboy]
