How much will Spider-man 2 make at boxoffice first weekend?

[Regurgitator]

With the immensive hype and all around great reviews (all thumbs up across the board) about Spider-man 2, how much do you think Spidey 2 will make on it's first weekend at the boxoffice?

Will it go past the $114.8 million when Spider-man 1 did on its first weekend?

I don't think it will do as well as the first Spider-Man's opening weekend because of the Wednesday opening.

[gcribbs]

Well if you mean just over the weekend then $140 in four days although I do think it can hit $180 adding in wednesday and Thursday.

a $390 for the first weekend adjust for HSXers.

[Sessa17]

Just under 1 Trillion $.

It'll be interesting to see how this does. Now, before Shrek 2 I would've been saying the wednesday opening would mean this flick wouldn't top the original opening during the three day weekend. Granted, Spidey 2 will have probably a much more front-loaded opening day, but I think 120 million over the three day, and 150-160 over five days is very possible.

[PalmerJoss]

I figure the Wednesday premiere will be a huge opening with a slight drop on Thursday. The 3-day weekend will probably be in the 100-110 million range, with around 180 million for the 5-day take.

[TomOpus]

I'll say $150 million

[Sunday Morning]

120-150 million and at least 4 sexual favors to get into the sold out shows.

All the expert are predicting anywhere from 5 to 6 sexual favors to get into sold out shows. Get your facts straight.

:p

Weekend = Friday - Sunday. At least that's the way i see it and the way the figures are officially reported.

So because of the Wednesday opening, i don't think the Friday - Sunday take of Spidey 2 will be as high as the record setting first. Not that much of a head scratcher :)

[ChrisKnudsen]

135.4 million 3 days 183.2 million 5 days

[The Cow]

Over the weekend only = probably not. With the early opening and hype, many will see it during the week. It will probably be the biggest week of the year, however.

That's true. I should also take into consideration the studio to overestimate how many sexual favors for the weekend before the actual numbers are in to beat out the competition.

Spider-Man will make a billion dollars on Wednesday alone.

[Goat3001]

An unreasonable amount of money.

I'll match that billion, and raise you a billion more. 2 billion on wednesday!

[Shamu]

I think that it'll make about $13.

[matome]

$120-130mil

[Shannon Nutt]

No one's mentioned yet that for most people Monday (July 5th) is a holiday too, since the 4th is on a Sunday. So that's one more day for it to rake in a bunch of cash. Then there's the midnight show on Tuesday night. I'm guessing by July 6th, Spidey will be somewhere in the $120 to $150 million dollar range.

[Autotelik]

for the 3-day weekend, I'll say 100-110 mil. Total for its run $375-$400 mil. I think the early May opening for the first movie helped a lot. Spidey 2 is now opening smack right in the middle of a busy summer movie season. Look at Shrek 2 this year- I think having an early summer opening helps a bit. Either way, I'll make sure the theaters get my money this weekend for Spidey2.

[Regurgitator]

Ok.. maybe I should have made it clear in the first place.

The usual weekend covers from Friday-Sunday.

But since this coming weekend is special (July 4 holiday) you can count it as maybe Friday-Monday.

In fact, you can even count July 1st (Canada's day holiday) as another part of the weekend.

So now the weekend runs from Thursday-Monday.

[RoboDad]

[Dr. Evil]One Hundred Billion Dollars![/Dr. Evil] ;)

But seriously, here is my prediction:

Wednesday alone: $29 million
Thursday: $13 million
Friday-Sunday: $78 million
Monday: $28 million

[raven56706]

Wednesday: $1.25
Thursday:10.25
Friday: .25
Saturday: 36.00
Sunday: 2.00


Looks like a blockbuster to me

[Dabaomb]

this movie is gonna make ridiculous amounts of money. I've already got my tickets for Wednesday @ 8 PM in NYC.

My predictions:
Wednesday: $30 million
Thursday: $25 million
Friday - Saturday: $120 million
Monday: $20 million

So about $195 million for the 6 day total.

[DVD-ho78(DTS)]

I have two tickets for WED. Looking forward to it. :)

Im going to guess $108 million over the 3-day weekend & $205 million over 6 days.

[cactusoly]

1 Billion Dollars !

oops! Already been said

actually this is the only movie I'm really looking forword to this summer.

[Deftones]

well, if you follow the pattern for the first flick, Spidey made almost $40 million on Friday, $43 million on Saturday and $31 million on Sunday.

So, easily it bests it's previous record of $115 million for Fri-Sun.

Wednesday will be huge, but not like a Friday. I think probably take in like $35 million on Wednesday, $20 million Thursday and a shade more than the first did for the weekend. I'm gonna guess for the entire Wed-Sun run, $180 million.


Just for the weekend, I think it'll do $125 million.

[Rivero]

It will make more than Fahrenheit 9/11.

[Regurgitator]

Just curious if anyone went to the midnight showing what were your expectations on the film before and after. And did you feel overwhelmed by everyone's reactions?

[RayChuang]

I think Spiderman 2 will make around US$185 million from today to July 5th (the observed 4th of July holiday this year).

It'll certainly be far more than Fahrenheit 9/11, that's to be sure. ;)

[gettinbranded]

38,600,000 yesterday...

[Ringo20000]

According to Box Office Mojo it made $40.5 million beating the orginal Spiderman which had biggest opening day ever of $39.4 million.

[Regurgitator]

Just saw Spiderman 2 yesterday. It was awesome! Great opening credit sequence!

IMO, it can easily beat the $140 million + boxoffice mark over the long weekend!
