"That's an excellent number for TASM! The haters can't spin this.""That's an ok number for TASM. Just boring and completely expected.""That's a rubbish number for TASM. It didn't reach iJack's 50M OD. Fail. Loonies in meltdown."Which is it?

All three of it

[Olive]

Haters will never rest.They are always in denial.

I'd go with B because of Sony was being shy about numbers before.

[StarSaber]

That's a pretty good number!

Diary of some here:What I did today? Well, I woke up, logged in boxoffice.com and trashed the hell out of The Amazing Spider-Man. Then I eat, while still trashing the film, and I went to work. I couldn't control myself so I'll log in my phone and hate a little bit more. When I'm bored at work, do you know what I do? I hate on The Amazing Spider-Man!!! And you know what I had for lunch? A big double of hating Amazing Spider-Man on three threads and more a bunch of websites, then I cursed the loonies that think that film is worth a damn, because they are just some dipshits. Then I almost got late for work, but I'm sure that my boss won't notice if I get on boxoffice.com so I can hate on The Amazing Spider-Man a little bit more, so what I'll do next? Work? Fuck work, the World needs to know how fucking a piece of trash this film is, so I'll trash this film a little bit again, because it's a war, I hate these loonies that are anticipating this film, it's a pretty fucking boring film made for this stupid dickheads that will watch anything that throw next to them wait, I've got a little bit carried away, I need to hate The Amazing Spider-Man again, and ops it's pass 5, I should get going, my lady is missing me, but she can wait because I need to tell these people how much awful this Spider-Man film, so I'll pass a little bit more time here. Wait, is already past 8? I guess I'll ask for some pizza delivery, no time to stop hating this film, the night is long and this film needs to be hated. And I need to make sure to everyone how much hateful and boring this film is.Seriously.I'd hate to be you. This was virtually the most nauseating shit that I've already written my entire life. But describe some of you perfectly. I know you won't stop. And by no means I'm confronting your opinion about this film. I'm just trying to show how pathetic you look. I'm here to talk about a film that I'm anticipating the fuck out. How about you? What you did today besides hating on The Amazing Spider-Man? Does it makes you feel better about yourself? Some tough childhood problems? Or just boredom? Is your life that fucking empty? I can't hate people like you, I do have pity, and I hope that I don't know, one day things get better for you.

I don't hate Spidey. I don't even care about Spidey. I just enjoy making predictions about the box-office and watching the cray-cray.

Yep, very good start. Right on track with TF1. Baumer can go ahead and put a bullet in his sub-$200m club.

That club was born dead. Yet it casued all the conflicts on the foums. Edited July 4, 2012 by firedeep

Tin-foil hat time: Sony is going to make sure it gets over 35 so they can say it equalled TF's first day.

No no, silly. Sony is just going to report that TF1 made 35M OD.

[redfirebird2008]

Well, I don't see why you aren't rounding up the score for Spidey 3. It shouldn't matter if critics are lenient or not. You need a methodology. Not just random numbers.

Rounding up? Math isn't your strong suit, is it? Never learned the rule that anything below 5 rounds down and anything above 5 rounds up? A 6.2 rounds down to 6 and a 6.7 rounds up to 7.

[ecstasy]

That club was born dead.

Still born.

[Magic]

All three of it

Ding Ding Ding!We have a winner!

32-35M, it has a good shot at 150M for 6 days now and in turn a very good shot at 300M.

You read that wall of text? You deserve a medal for that.

[Cedarpoint1111]

Just because it made money doesn't make it a good movie.

Lmfao so now that you know its making money, you jump on the quality! You are just too much.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Just because it made money doesn't make it a good movie.

Okey, great new straw.

You gotta give it to Baumer, turned a DOA club into a War zone.

I speed-read to get the gist of it.

I don't think it's that your old, I'm sure I'm older than most here and close to your age (I'm 30), but that your need it all mentality should be adjusted for the type of movie your seeing. I really liked TASM, it was very well done and a thoroughly enjoyable superhero/comic book movie and it was great seeing spider-man on the big screen again (avoiding specific details obviously)...was it as good as my favorite, ideal amazing films (Godfather, Jaws, Raiders, TWBB, Seven, etc, etc), of course not, all movies can't be perfect and have it all...but for characters I like (in this case Spider-Man) I am willing to forgive the nitpicky nothing's that many people are pointing out in the review thread.

I knew going in what type of movie this was, and it was very good for that type. Like I don't walk into a deli expecting a 5-star restaurant's roasted duck special quality food, but am very happy when I get a really good grilled chicken and fresh mozzarella hero.

Different strokes for different folks though.

My whole thing though is that this close to the originals, it needs to set itself apart in some way. It didn't do that for me. It hit nearly every same beat, but with less heart, and more perfunctory. Sure Garfield and Stone were great together, but there wasn't any conflict to make it dramatic

at all.

Now I can go to bed.
