ZattMurdock Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Nah, seems terrible to me, should gross about 60% of what alot of people were expecting, it should have made much more. $28.3M weekend. 384.5M cume. Exhibitor Relations @ERCboxoffice Overseas, SPIDER-MAN netted an additional $29.8M for a total of $386M. Worldwide cume: $614M 800M WW seems difficult to reach now. Terrible weekend, will make 450m or so without China and 500-550m with China. It is nice to be right. This is from The Amazing Spider-Man's third weekend estimates. TASM reached $386m in the foreign markets after its 3rd weekend. TDKR reached 376m and people are claiming that's a success. I find it ironic that Totem and others were claiming TASM's doom and gloom after The Amazing Spider-Man grossed more than TDKR in the same time frame in the foreign markets. "Oh but it's 3d and TDKR is 2d", yeah, that's right, but TASM is still a reboot that so far made more in the foreign markets than TDKR, which is a finale. If we can say that TASM has an edge because it has 3d, TASM is facing a far more tough market than TDKR, which makes the numbers of a reboot that still made more than an acclaimed finale far more impressive. With that said, Totem is right. It's nice to be right. Yes, TDKR will gross more than TASM worldwide, but still will be very close between TASM and TDKR as far as foreign markets go. So I'm right about the fact that TASM still has a shot of making more than TDKR in the foreign markets, and even if it doesn't, it's still insanely impressive for a reboot that faced the kind of competion that it did. Just saying. Edited August 5, 2012 by Chris O Donnell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Dude, sorry to tell you but you are being dumb as fuck. Go to the TDKR OS thread and understand why your hate makes you write nonsense shit like this. Edited August 5, 2012 by CJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Amazing Spider-Man has 3D, which has a much bigger pull in developing markets. Say what you want, Jack, but your idiocy knows no bounds. Facts are facts. TDKR's overseas performance is undoubtedly stronger than TASM's (who was always a bigger draw overseas). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Why do you compare the OS performances of TDKR / TASM ? TDKR will be ahead no doubts.But it's not bad for TASM, and the movie has been unlucky with an important soccer championship for the European release and the competition from TDKR shortly after its release.TASM2 will be TDKR OS I think, but for TASM no.

Both performances are good, more so to TASM since it's a reboot, it's performing like a blockbuster instead of a reboot, TDKR's run been this close of TASM and still not been able to match what it did in the same time frame is a testament of that.

redfirebird2008 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 ASM opens on the same fucking day as TDKR in China. ASM just can't catch a breakTDKR comes out a day earlier I think. It's a bad break for both films. The Chinese government is manipulating the marketplace to prop up some of their local films during July and August.

You are comparing a 4 week total for Spidey with a 3 week total for TDKR. Talk about misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kvikk Lunsj Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Jack was replying to this. 450 M OS?! Prepare to eat crow, with the 3D surplus, this will do a very big score, 600 M OS at a very minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 So Jack, what's the deal? In early June you were claiming that a $600m prediction for Spidey was underplaying it a lot for Spidey. Now you're saying that it never had a chance at $600m and that I had "backhanded expectations" for it. What the hell is that flip flop dude?

Talk about misleading.My point is that TDKR will be closer to TASM than most of the haters would like to admit. My arguing is no more misleading than you claiming a 4 week total whe you know that it was India and like two other countries before it's first weekend. But hey, whatever, still pretty confident about TDKR not being able to top TASM's foreing BO even after next weekend estimates. I have a hunch that China will define who comes on top overseas.
