Exhibitor Relations

Sony's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN had the best Tuesday debut ever, tingling audiences w/ $35M.

Also Its the lowest OD for any TASM movie as well

Spider-Man 1 OD : 39 Million on a Friday

Spider-Man 2 OD 41 Million on a Wednesday

Spider-Man 3 OD 59 Million on a Friday

Previous Tuesday BO record holder was Transformers with 27 Million but you need to remember if you include midnights its 36 Million because Transformers was got 8.1 Million on Monday

You can't compare to the other SM, they were released a Friday!

SM2 wasn't, and I think it is fair to compare this OD to TF1 Monday Previews and Tuesday gross.

35 Million OD? Again Spidey Haters, Man Up. I'm still in complete shock how ppl last night were trying to say it's numbers weren't good. Sorry but it's now time to start talking 300 Million so all the so called spidey "Loonies" were right on the ball. Congrats to Sony, after all the drama about a reboot, there instincts were right. This generation has a new Spidey.

35 MILLION OD? MAN UP!

[baumer]

Yea, the haters are manning up. I even wrote a eulogy for the under 200 mill thread.

[RichWS]

35 pages since I went to bed. I can only imagine what took place.$35M is a great number. It's $8-9M more than I expected.

The problem with that, is that you have to care to meltdown.

That would require the movie in question to be interesting, different or note-worthy. Which this wasn't, save for really good performances all around.

It's all good Baumer, I actually agreed with some of you criticisms, I would of preferred them NOT doing an Origin story over again, that's my biggest complaint. But again I just couldn't bet against Spidey, Kids love him way to much.

[filmscholar]

By the way, I posted on BOM for over 8 years, I don't remember a MIDNIGHT THREAD this Big. Maybe Transformers or TDK, I don't remember but this Thread is an Instant Classic.

[baumer]

Just remember this though:This opening is pretty much where most of you had it going. This looks to have a 250-275 finish based on the OD. That's a 23 or so % drop from Spidey 3 and it means it will have sold a sparse amount of tickets. Without the outlandish under 200 thread, I don't think most of you would be looking at this as a gross worth celebrating.

There definitely wasn't a midnight thread this of topic, and hijacked.

Amazing. Baumer's Under 200m thread was actually reverse psychology, turning what would otherwise be a middling box office run (compared to predecessors) into a triumphant victory for the fans. And all the while baumer sits in his Fortress of Doom, laughing about how he's reframed the benchmark for Spiderman's success.Well played oh mighty supervillain, well played.

I doubt it reaches $300M. TF1 opened to the same if you count the Monday preview gross of $8.1M, and TF1 believe it or not had great WOM at the time. I just don't see this getting the same repeat viewings, and I also think some of the fans of the Raimi trilogy won't be back for this. I would be shocked if this reached $300M.

Meh. Where is TDKR??

[RichWS]

The $300M talk does feel awfully premature.

TF total - 8M still equals 300M+

True, 300 is far from a lock but 250 is a Lock and I'm willing to say 260 is more of a Lock after today's OD. Also people have to remember, Spidey will get a TDKR boost in my opinion cause of sellouts and the fact parents will want to take their kids to a superhero movie that isn't as dark as Batman so Spidey will benefit.

[Hatebox]

In Baumer's defence he actually mentioned the prospect of his thread lowering expectations for the movie quite a while back.Still, if it cracks 300m that's a good number any way you cut it.

No one is saying it's a lock.But it's a very real possibility.
