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

I want a sequel. Because after freaking FOUR films, CARNAGE hasn't even been referenced. Damn it.

I've never liked Carnage much. Take Venom, add The Joker and viola.

No symbiotes. Classic villains like Mysterio, Electro and the like please.

There is no historical precedent for that type of performance. WOM would have to be toxic. And it's clearly not.

Its mixed judging by these drops.

Only if they DON'T screw them up the way they seemed to have dropped the ball on The Lizard, or at least that's what I hear...

I really want Carnage also. From what I've read, he's super powerful, way stronger then Venom. I also read that Spidey had to team up with Venom to take down Carnage. With that said, I'd love to see Venom and Carnage in the next 2 films, throw in a 3rd Villain for the 2nd film (Rhino), and we're talking big bucks.

Is it really going to take the death of another Spider-Man franchise to convince people that Venom is a boring and shallow stereotype of a character?

[Jawa]

Saw it today. Barely better than SM3, IMO (although I didn't hate SM3 as much as most did).

I think they need to do it in order to make up for Raimi fucking it up

Is that...good? *Shrugs*

I have no idea.

I can't think of any midweek opener in recent years that only jumped 9 percent on Friday. Even Potter 6 and Transforners 2 jumped in the 21-26% range

[Dementeleus]

Seems like its trajectory is slightly above where Thursday ended. Which basically makes sense; it's following TF1.

How boring.

This Thursday is special: it's between July 4th and Friday. Therefore it's inflated a bit

Even I will admit it would have been really weird for this film (or any other film) not to increase on Friday.

[Shawn Robbins]

This final total would have been realistic, if TASM had no TDKR in its 3rd weekend. As such I wouldn't be surprised if its 6-day will account for 55% of its final total.

You'll actually notice that I revised the low-end figure to $250m a few posts later after that was made. Just didn't edit the original.

Almost any villian can be made great if fleshed out enough. A talented filmmaker can take Venom, Carnage, Kraven, Mysterio, any of them and make them great characters, even if they're subpar in the comics. Carnage, for example, could be made into a pretty dynamic adversary with his unique status as a serial killer (something never approached in a comic-book film). They could play with his psychology quite a bit and make him more than just a wacko with bloodlust. Edited July 6, 2012 by tonytr87

CARNAGE is badass. How about RHINO?

[John Marston]

Carnage!
