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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

But seriously, here is my prediction:
Wednesday alone: $29 million
Thursday: $13 million
Friday-Sunday: $78 million
Monday: $28 million

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.
