‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Smashes ‘Transformers’ Setting New Record

A small group of internet fanboys may be crying about ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ (which I personally find to be the best Spider-Man movie to date). Then again these are probably the same people that hate Ultimate Spider-Man. But the nerd complaints are definitely not hurting the ticket sales at all.

‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ has debuted with $35M knocking down Michael Bay’s ‘Transformers’ (2007), which pulled in $27.8M to set the record for a Tuesday opening.

‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ received an ‘A-’ Cinemascore from audiences (an ‘A’ from under age 18 moviegoers) which should definitely spur good word of mouth.

How could this movie be doing so great though? I mean…it’s nowhere close to that “great” Sam Raimi trilogy! Geez…why couldn’t Marc Webb take inspiration from sweater vest wearing Peter Parker from the 60’s! Why couldn’t we get more goofy Sam Raimi stuff?! That would surely beat ‘The Avengers’ ticket sales! Yes…I am being sarcastic.
