And that's sticking with the 20.7 estimate, which could lower.A 4 million difference between $60m & $64m is nothing to get worked up about. It happens.

He Must Be in phase 3 of HFS

One would hope!!!

However, it turns out after that diatribe on Kitsch and my insistence that this is an appealing "Netflix movie", I'm going to see SAVAGES tonight after all.

280 with 3D and Imax. I thought Spider Man was a brand? That is below Spidey 3! They are going to need more then a better villain for any increase. But I ams ure we will get another 20 clips to analyze the movie before it comes out.

BRAVE had 3D too. So that's a fail too right? EPIC FAIL?

[kayumanggi]

That's an oxymoron for you.

No, it's blasphemy. lol

It was predicted to make mid-200s, which is only a disappointment for the studio financially, but a failure for a Spider-man movie.

This movie was not made for the domestic audience. WE, the overseas auds are far more important.

[John Marston]

Lol I had no idea Ice Age was such a huge Force at the domestic box-office that it will totally destroy Spider man

Brave never had a huge comic book following and a built brand name

and now the TASM defense league shift focus from Domestic saying its not important......

It's a Pixar family film, yet it's only making the same amount as other Pixar films despite 3D. Where's the complaints there?

275m is not a bad total. The domestic market is not the same as it once was. If it makes 900m worldwide are the studios going to cry?

Lol. It's a PIXAR film. Freakin PIXAR. #spinningmode

Don't know if someone already said that or if i will start a "war" here but i think SPIDER-MAN 4 would have gross more.

[kayumanggi]

Did I say it was not important? I said the overseas gross is more important. These studios won't greenlight films with these huge budgets had not they known the potential overseas gross is huge. #puttingwordsinotherpeoplesmouthsmode

Shhh. These people are choosy.

TASM will be a great success for Sony. I'm not happy about it, but I'm not trying to downplay the fact.

Would hate to see what the ASM-haters here would have had to say when Batman Begins opened to such middling numbers.ASM is on track for 250-280 mil, which should put it around #5 for the year (behind TA, TDKR, Hunger Games, and The Hobbit). That seems more than acceptable to me - not mind-blowing, but decent for an unprecedentedly soon reboot. BB ended up #8 back in '05, and was considered a franchise-saver. ASM will probably do considerably better, but people want to call it a disappointment. Is that because they consider Spider-Man to be that much more popular than Batman?

:ph34r:Colin has screen presence, it's undeniable.Just from Tigerland, you could sense it.Like a young Russell Crowe.People like to bash him because of his gluts of movies in 2003-2006 but he has rebounded and he's here to stay.Unless he commits something stupid in his private life or something.

No I like Colin Farrell. I think he's a good actor BUT if it wasn't for his looks he would have been out of the business a long time ago.

[kayumanggi]

BB adjusts to 254 M.
