The Official TASM Weekly Thread (6 Day EST-140m) (Warning: Whiten Out Spoilers/Spoiler Tags)

[John Marston]

No. It's not bad but it's certainly not good. 28-30 is fine when compared to current expectations, but most people would consider it a failure had they known a year ago.

many people were saying this film was unneeded and unwanted and looked like shit and would be DOA.

[Neo]

No, that would be a failure. Everything under 280m is a disappointment, we discussed it before the film opened. Just because it's falling to the expected range, it doesn't make it good.

270M is considered a success was BB a disappointment because that is what you are saying.

[Sims]

July 4th should be lower than July 5th.

270 m is great for a divisive reboot of a steadily dying franchise and the sequel has a good chance at reversing the steady decline of Spider-man movies in the domestic market.Making the reboot a smart movie by Sony.

I don't know about Alfred, but I would consider BB a box office disappointment.

Batman franchise was dead when BB came out. So it was payback time for the franchise. I dont think Spidey is in the same universe. Last one was disliked but the franchise is definitely not dead. We can see that by the midnight numbers. BB OD/OW was mediocre/BAD.

Yeah, I don't think so, fire deep. July 4th is a holiday, but everyone goes back to work on the 5th. It's not quite as steep as a Sun-Mon drop, but it's significant: somewhere around 20-30%.

[ZattMurdock]

I still think that you are all taking premature guesses about The Amazing Spider-Man's demise.

We won't know anything for sure until the weekend.

TF1 in fact dropped 34% on thursday. I think ASM will do slightly better as it should be more kid friendly.

And that's why I'm surprised of seeing schooled people box office wise even talking in numbers below $300m domestically. The run of this film is just beginning, folks. Take it easy.

I don't think there's much difference. TF1 was mighty kid friendly itself.

TF1 and TASM are pretty equally kid-friendly. I do expect a decrease tomorrow, so a slightly deflated decrease relative to TF1 on Thursday might happen.

Just came back from my viewing of TASM. Very good movie. 7.5/10. Garfield is perfect as Spiderman. :)What's going on with this thread, too many pages to go through. Any numbers?

[Walt Disney]

Some people with predictions on the low end and some on the high end feel differently, but the majority of the posters on the board feel that $250M is a boring number which isn't a great success, but it's not a spectacular failure either. The further away you get from $250M in either direction, the further people disagree about what is a success and what is a failure. But the majority are comfortable with $250M as a tie between both sides.

Love it that you liked mate, how packed was your theater?

[John Marston]

why should it decrease on July 4th?

[riczhang]

16 sell outs from 87 shows, doubled its sell outs in about an hour and a half, not too bad.
