Weekend EST- IA4 45.5M; TASM 35M(-44%); Ted 22.1M; Brave 10.7M; MM 9M

Solid hold for Spidey. It's gonna fall like a brick next weekend though so it needed a good hold this weekend. Great for Ted. The Hangover will soon pass it up but the fact that Ted is still ahead is extremely impressive. 250m might be a stretch at this point but if it can continue the good holds in the wake of TDKR, it's possible.

NOOOOOO, TASM held far too well.

[darthdevidem01]

Excellent spidey drop, so happy.

[fmpro]

[MovieMan89]

TDKR is the silver lining though. Any legs TASM may be sprouting right about now are about to be brutally and wholly ripped off. All freakin eight of em.

It will be hurt bad next weekend but that doesnt mean it can't recover in the weeks following

TA hasn't gotten back to the holds it was having pre TASM. And the effect TDKR will have on TASM will be far worse than what TASM did on TA.

[ZattMurdock]

LMAO!!!! This is one is hilarious. After trying to spin everything that TASM accomplishes into something bad and insistently predicting it would crumble its second week, now the reason it held so well is Twilight-loving teenage girls? Can you say "grasping at straws"? That doesn't even make sense. We have all seen the second-week drops of the Twilight movies. Boy, the anti-TASM brigade is hilariously ridiculous in their "logic."

And once again, cocho posts rule the Earth.

The precedent is Hellboy II. No recovery.And yes, actuals are going to kick TASM in the ass. Just like last Monday. Edited July 15, 2012 by Samson

[redfirebird2008]

Very nice hold for Spidey. Glad to see that. I'm looking forward to the sequel, so any extra cash to make Sony more confident about making it is a good thing.

Hellboy 2 is a total fanboy driven film. That's a stupid comparison.

[Claire of Themyscira]

Is THG ever going to go into dollar theaters?

You are about to understand that Spider-Man is NO Hellboy.

[Deep Wang]

You are about to understand that Spider-Man is NO Hellboy.

You're right about that, Hellboy actually a good movie!

[MovieMan89]

Is THG ever going to go into dollar theaters?

Not with 8% drops it isn't. At this rate it might stay in theaters long enough to pass TS3!

[ZattMurdock]

Yes, Hellboy is a good film, but The Amazing Spider-Man is amazing.

[MovieMan89]

Yes, Hellboy is a good film, but The Amazing Spider-Man is amazing.

Both Hellboy films are miles better than the last two Spidey films.

Said the hater loonie.

[John Marston]

Doesn't matter, the fact I'ms Hellboy is primarily fanboy driven, not general audience driven
