The first cap has the distinction of being the second worst Marvel Phase 1 movie, and yes that's also taking into account Norton's Hulk film. At least that had the ever beautiful Arwen (that's who she will always be to me) in it to lift it's stock. Nothing will ever touch Iron Man 2 for being the worst of the bunch. Not even Sam Rockwell's sexiness could save it. Man that guy could wear the shit out of a suit.

Marvel movies, in my opinion:
Great- Ironman, Avengers
Ok- Captain America, Ironman 3
Meh- Thor, Thor 2, TIH
Shit- Ironman 2.
Non MCU recent marvel movies:
Great- X Men First Class, ASM2
Meh-ASM
I haven't see cap 2 and wolverine.
DC comics:
Great- TDK, Batman Begins
Ok- TDKR, Man of steel
Shit- Green Lantern.
Like all Marvel movies, overseas is where its at. ASM 2 will match the previous movie based on the overseas numbers, might even do better.

You shouls see Cap 2 its up there with IM and avengers imo. id also put Thor 1 over thor 2 and tih
Sony probably is not happy with just matching or barely outdoing it. Inflation, lower returns on overseas gross versus domestic, a larger budget, and loss of merchandise revenue all point to this being a venture with declining profitability for Sony.

i didn't like neighbors i found it unfunny
It had terrible characterization despite its dramatic leanings and the action didn't make up for it.That's my basic view.
Also, Pa Kent getting swallowed by a tornado was hilarious.
I really enjoy Man of Steel, because it feels like a DBZ movie. But that tornado scene was fucking hilarious.
Save for GL, I enjoyed all those other movies far more than ASM2.
The problem with ASM2 is it's all building up to something big before it collapses into a wet fart. The other huge problem was it felt like a stage show in some parts why are people standing behind barriers watching while Electro goes ape shit? Like this is live theatre same thing with the end of the film with Rhino a giant mechanical rhino with giant guns is standing in the middle of the street lets all stand behind this flimsy barrier and watch. Frankly none of the villains with the exception of Harry felt actually dangerous.
If Sony's next idea is to have the Sinister Six dressed in those militarised outfits at the end of the movie then my god I fear for them.
They need to raise the stakes a bit. How about Kraven or Mysterio? You could have some real fun with that.

The film is at $550 million worldwide after two weeks in the US lol. Yeah Godzilla and X-Men may slow it down, but it's not going anywhere lol.
One week actually in the US.

so i watched neighbors
there was this scene when the fraternity is moving in. and seth and rose are talking about them as they're watching them through the window.
seth says how zak is a male specimen and rose says wow look at the blonde (zak's gf), and seth being coy says i dont see a blonde. i laughed pretty hard to a quiet audience for some reason that joke went over everyone's heads.

Both Neighbors and Spider-Man down about $2 million from the forecast:
http://boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/?yr=2014&wknd=19&p=.htm
Neighbors Uni. $49,033,915
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Sony $35,501,212
TASM2 drop is 61.2%. Almost the same as SM3 -- 61.5%.

Godzilla only needs to do half of what it's tracking at.
Same opening weekend multiplier as Spider-Man 3 puts Amazing Spider-man at $204M domestic. I think that $225M is looking to be about as high as the film will get domestically.
The only thing missing was Superman luring Zod away from Metropolis to the endless barren wastelands.

Doesn't seem too bad after it's second domestic weekend. For comparison, what was Cap 2 at after it's second weekend?
Edit: Looked it up... $159 + $317 = $476
god damn it overseas people, stop watching ASM2!
As expected, Spidey has no legs in North America. Godzilla will hurt it this week, and then you have X-Men next week.
Kind of amazing that not only has Iron Man surpassed Spidey at the box office, but Captain America might, too...

I don't see ASM2 beating Cap 2's box office let alone getting near $700 million ww. The latter had multiple weekends all to itself and was received much more favorably domestically while Spidey already lost the top spot on its second weekend. Foreign gross is currently picking up the slack, but by Friday it will be ASM2's 5th weekend overseas. (3rd domestic)
I do however wonder if releasing Spider-Man so much later domestically (2 weeks) hurt its potential gross between possibly deflated interest (not releasing when hype was high, having spoilers everywhere) and negative word of mouth from critics. Does anyone knowledgeable enough concerning movie releases think this could be a potential cause?

It will only be the 2nd weekend in China.
Don't worry, overseas the hype has died a week ago.
Completely forgot about China, but hasn't it technically been out for 2 weeks now making this weekend its 3rd?
No. It launched on a Sunday workday (they move workdays around to accommodate holidays) and only had its first weekend this past weekend.
please understand

It's not the movie we deserve, or the one we need right now.
1, 2, 3, or 4 billion?
And people were saying Godzilla is irrelevant/wouldn't hurt ASM2's legs :lol
What legs?

It was like maybe one or two people.
Granted, they REALLY believed - but still, even at the time, I don't think anyone was calling much more than 70 mil opening. Anywhere between 90-100 is pretty nuts. I wouldn't have expected a Godzilla movie to open at 100, but I do think the combination of advertising blitz and name recognition obviously helped like I thought it would.
