I think it will make just shy of $100m but wouldn't be surprised if it went slightly over.

That'd be terrible.

It would be better than both Amazing Spider-Man films and only a hair under the Sam Raimi versions.

And judging from the reaction to the trailers, people are saying this looks more of the same....it's the 6th Spider-Man film in 15 years. It could be running out of steam.

Only a hair under Raimi's would still be disaster, since those were 13-15 years ago, no 3D or IMAX and weren't part of a cinematic universe.

For whatever reason I'm not feeling much buzz from people for a new Spider-Man movie, even with it being part of the MCU. The reactions to the trailers have been good but not spectacular, and I think there's definitely a bit of Spidey franchise fatigue given that this is the third iteration of the series on film. I still guessed ~120mil opening (since I think a good amount of people will go to this anyway given how weak the summer movie selection has been so far), which would be good, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up with a good chunk lower than that.

That's not really saying much, and Raimi's films were monstrous openings for their time.

I hope not. I don't think so. Bats and Spidey can never run out of steam. They can be hurt by lousy films, but if I have to bet my house on any 2 superheroes time and again, I'm going with these 2.

Exactly. Not to mention, even your standard 2D ticket was $12 at the time (NYC prices).

The way this summer's gone so far, I just don't know. The trailers for Iron Man 4 look good, but I've heard exactly zero buzz from anybody. Guessing under $100 million, could really go either way.
