I agree. I would be happy with anything between 40 and 50 million but 15M+ would be fine also.

That's my iJack impersonation.

[Shawn Robbins]

Are you still that low?

Whatever my final prediction was, I'm not changing it based on a midnight number alone. So -- technically, yes. :PI see it landing between $220-245m. But my final prediction was on the low-end of that.

[fmpro]

I gotta go to sleep.....nearly midnight now.....Fun will resume tomorrow..... and god-willing a grand crow serving ceremony. We will do it together, Kayu. :PGood night, you must be feeling a hell lot more sleepier than me.

[cremino]

I'm not talking about you, I know you'd never deny that. But I'm seeing some people trying to spin it differently, we need AA here to remember people that baumer wasn't alone in his madness.

You predict 400........................... :ph34r: :ph34r:

From BOM: For The Amazing Spider-Man to have the same midnight haul, even with inflated ticket prices and a more hospitable release date, is a minor accomplishment for sure.Someone intentionally forgot to post this. Hmmm.

I'm going to see it again tonight! :)I'm the minority, I loved the film... My favorite of the year, followed closely by Cabin in the Woods.

Not minority but majority.....

[CJohn]

And I out of here for 30 minutes and this thing grows 10 pages. What happened?

I hope a 30 mill+ OD tomorrow changes your mind

I think people entertained the notion of it. His club is more about the idea than the actual number. It'll pass $200m.

Nothing... and EVERYTHING!

Madness and meltdown

Or you could quote this part from the same article:

While the Spider-Man 3 comparison is a flattering one (that movie wound up earning $151.1 million through its first three days), it isn't really an apples-to-apples one. With kids still in school, the first weekend of May rarely turns out strong midnight numbers, while all kids and many adults are off leading in to the Fourth of July holiday. Also, the way in which audiences attend midnight movies has changed noticeably in the past few years: the top eight midnight openings ever have taken place since 2009 (only five of the top eight opening weekends are in that same time frame). Finally, with the addition of 3D and the drastically increased number of IMAX venues, tickets for The Amazing Spider-Man are much more expensive than those for Spider-Man 3.

Spin much?

What is the budget, sorry I was having a meltdown I didn't notice it.

[ZattMurdock]

You predict 400........................... :ph34r: :ph34r:

It isn't out of the picture yet. I honestly think it's within the realm of possibility happening, I always had $325m as the absolute floor and $400m as the high end.

Someone already posted that.

I'm obliged to post it again?

FAIL.

Reportedly $230m before marketing.

230m + 200m marketing

[ecstasy]

The number is rock solid. I don't know how anyone can spin it into horrible or great.It's just a solid, solid, solid midnight number for a reboot. Take points off because it's a reboot -add points because it's Spidey. It's smack dabb in the the middle of the road right where it ought to be.
