BOX OFFICE: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Demolishes Record For A Tuesday Opening

Too bad The Amazing Spider-Man earned only an estimated $7.5 million from midnight shows last night. Among comic book movies, that's much lower than The Avengers ($18.7 million) and The Dark Knight.

Dmon - Monday = Workday for most on Tuesday....so what is your damn point ?

BTW nobody is saying it will beat Avengers or TDK....you should be more concerned with if TDKR can beat TASM

Nuff said

@ULTIMOSPIDER- Thursday = Workday on Friday for 99% of the population also. So whats "your" point?

@Dmon His point TASM was released on a work day the avengers and TDK wasn't

@Webhead007 Yes they were released on a work day. I dont know what country you are from but here in the US people work on Fridays.

Big box office opening, bad word of mouth, low repeat viewing appeal, ultimately below par final box office performance.

This movie underwhelmed me hugely, first comic book movie I really have no wish to see again in a hurry. Too many WTF moments with people seeing Peter Parker do impossible stuff and they don't even question it. Movie wasted too much time generating crap about the totally unnecessary secret history of Peter's parents that nobody gives a frak about.

As bad as Spiderman-3 was, I was more entertained watching that despite all that this new version got right, including its superior Peter Parker in Andrew Garfield. I suspect this movie won't go down too well with some of the younger kids and parents because of its pedestrian presentation compared to the lively Raimi movies.

@Dmon I know people work on fridays im saying when they see the movie because they dont have to go work the next day

@DMon: you dont get a weekend to relax after a tuesday. How do you not get this? Do you have a job?

@xcrementus I guess you dont know about this thing we have here in the US called the 4 of July its a federal holiday most people have it off and take more then 1 day off with it.

I'm pretty sure most people are out having fun on the 4th of july, and not lining up to a movie.

@Vegakingblade Only children make comments like that. Go back to playing with your dolls.

Saw it yesterday!
Was very good!
Not amazing at all!

Impressive effects but that's not something I can say will make any film better for me cuz in 2050 effects will be even better!! How story was told & how it unfolded is what matters!
& that wasn't impressive!!

Lots of people said that it's same story told again!!
I don't have a problem with that cuz its SpiderMan's origin story But got a problem with "the Untold Story" shit: NO! It wasn't anything new; other than usual changes any film will make if they remake another film!! So stop false marketing Sony!! It was SpiderMan & SpiderMan-2 story mixed as SpiderMan 1.25!! But as I said I was kinda OK! But still it's same story told will expanded & deeper look into Peter; nothing NEW, just deeper!!

Will see again to make my mind; fully!!

Maybe I'll like it more than I should cuz of Andrew Garfield's exceptional performance!
But Story, Lizard & some STUPID things & character descions were the main problems!
& film was Filled with those Problems; & those problems annoyed the hell out of me!

But where it was good; it was very very Good!

My problem remained yet; I loved the first 2 SpiderMan films & yet didn't fall in love with character; this one made me like Peter & SpiderMan a lot more but still not in love!
X:Men films (1&2) were great but I didn't love any character (except Wolverine)!
X:Men First Class made me LOVE them!
BatmanBegins made me LOVE Bruce / BATMAN!
Still waiting for same effect from a SpiderMan film!!

I BET IT'S SOMEONE WHO WORKS AT OSCORP FOR OSBORNE..MAYBE HIS RIGHT HAND MAN.

@Vegakingblade Wow did you seriously remove all your comments?

Lol at the people who think this will make more money than TDKR

i really enjoyed the movie. hell its spiderman. perfect, no but spiderman moved and talked the way we all know and love. that sold it for me
