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?

Place your votes now!

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

That doesn't make sense...2 extra days = LESS money?

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.

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.

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.

I'll say $150 million

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.

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

135.4 million 3 days 183.2 million 5 days

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.

An unreasonable amount of money.

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

I think that it'll make about $13.

$120-130mil

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

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


Looks like a blockbuster to me

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.
