Off to a good start, I'd guess a 135-145 opening week from Tuesday to Sunday.

No way this beats Avengers.

Well, that goes against what I thought it would due to the negative reviews.

I'm not disappointed. As much as I'm sort of so-so on it, I hope it does well.

I really want to see a movie with the Scorpion. That'd be a good way of introducing J. Jonah Jameson, as well.

No way this beats Avengers.

Well, no. Avengers was a MONSTER hit (pun intended)...the only movie that will come close or even potentially beat it is DKR.

Well, that goes against what I thought it would due to the negative reviews.

The majority of the reviews seemed positive.

Well, no. Avengers was a MONSTER hit (pun intended)...the only movie that will come close or even potentially beat it is DKR.

Also maybe Hobbit if we are including non-summer movies and are talking internationally.

No way this beats Avengers.

Did you honestly expect it to?
Spider-Man 3 left a bad taste in a lot of peope's mouth. This will do quite well but not anywhere near Avengers or TDKR

Wow - I'm looking forward to it. Took me a while to get on the wagon but they got me.

Are we sure they're only including midnight screenings? And not the 8 o'clock screenings and other times it was open yesterday across the US and Canada?
