The first one topped out at $490m but this one seems much bigger in scope and has more villians which might sell more in OS markets and now we have already moved on from the origins story this could see a good increase in OS markets.

As of now I think this will do $550m as its legs will be cut-short by Godzilla which will also be big in OS markets.

Godzilla opens almost a month later in many markets

Hmm that's actually good news for Spidey then. Upping my predictions to $600m OS now.

I hope it does not beat TDKR OS

That's a good mark as of now I don't see it getting there Brian.

this movie is taking advantage not only of Easter in many countries, but the May Day holiday. Also, it has Golden Week in Japan

Yeah I was surprised that this is coming out for Easter here and then will also take advantage of the Anzac Day holiday a week later (the equivalent of Memorial Day).

$700m overseas, $350m domestic, for a worldwide haul of $1.05b.

$700m WW

The first one was bad. This one looks like a clusterfuck.

That didn't stop any of the Harry Potters from making huge money worldwide.

Algen, how can you just deliberately make bad predictions over and over?

I don't give a fuck what you think, Lecter.

I know, but why do you waste your time and ours?

My predictions are good. If you dislike them, ignoring them takes very little time indeed.

Its releasing over Easter ? That would mean its getting out next weekend? It would definitely hamper CA2's legs in those markets.

anyone have any early news from the UK

this week it opens in many countries and much more next week

Spidey is gonna rule mexico starting today.

only 47m this weekend. Seems kind of low

That's not good though, is it? Sequels almost always have worse legs. Opening at the same level as ASM in those markets means it's probably going to make less. It's already looking like it'll make less in the States.

ok after doing some research the numbers aren't that bad. First off Monday is a holiday almost everywhere that it has opened so it has another day to make money everywhere. Also, in the UK it had a five day opening while the first had a six day. Germany and Mexico openings increases from the first and so did many smaller markets. Only Spain and Australia decreased.



With the May Bank Holiday coming up and not much competition (unlike TASM which had TDKR which hobbled it) surpassing the first one seems guaranteed

Its also Easter Monday holiday here today and this coming weekend is also a long weekend. So that should help it. However it is going up against Lego Movie, Captain America and Divergent which are all doing huge numbers.

those movies all come out the following weeks?

I had no clue it open on a Wednesday. I only knew because i saw the banner outside the movie theater.

Anyways, the total for Wed and Thur in Mexico is $35,055,088 Mx Pesos with 628,205 admissions, thats about $2.7M US Dlls.
