Box Office Winner's League: Amazing Spider-Man 2

It's that time again!

an epic romance
an epic romance

If any of you were around for the old days at Screened, you'll recall that we used to run a contest called Box Office Winners League when we got the feeling to do so. It's a simple premise: guess how much money a movie is going to make in a given weekend, and if you're the closest guess, you win! There's a bit of skill in it, since box office is roughly predictable, and there are tracking companies that are paid quite a bit to do so, but there's also a lot of luck, since almost no one is able to consistently guess a box office weekend with any degree of accuracy or precision.

The rules are pretty simple.

1. Guess how much money Amazing Spider-Man 2 will make in its opening weekend in the U.S. We'll count all the money it makes between Thursday night and Sunday night. Just throw it in as a reply to this post, e.g.: $56.79 million (be as specific as you like.).

For reference's sake, you can check the grosses for previous Spider-Man movies right over here.

2. Make your guesses as a reply to this thread, and make sure that they're in by Thursday 5/1 at 3 PM PST/6 PM EST/whatever crazy clock time you have in your crazy timezone. I won't count anything after that. I'm going to take screenshots of the replies at that point, so don't bother editing your post or deleting a post and trying again later.

3. The winners will be determined next Monday or Tuesday, when actual box office figures are released at boxofficemojo.com. Weekend estimates are often released on Sunday afternoon, but we'll wait for the real numbers to determine a winner. I'll compare that number to see who's closest; over or under doesn't matter. In case of any ties, I'll decide between the entries with either a coin flip or some other randomized method.

4. There'll be two winners. The closest Premium member will win a copy of Dark Souls II for the PS3. The closest non-Premium member will get a year of Premium access. This is a gently used copy of Dark Souls II, so it's not brand new!

That's pretty much it! Go forth and prosper, or something. I'll reserve the right to change any of these rules as I see fit before the deadline, but I doubt that'll be necessary. (Don't be a dick and make it necessary, in other words.)

$84.59 million. I have a feeling that releasing after Winter Soldier will actually be a boon; people coming off the high of Cap might want another superhero movie ASAP.

75m. I'm not so sure about this. I don't see much hype for this movie, but I'm guessing it'll get a bit of a bump just for being a superhero movie right now.

$93.1 million. Would be slightly shocked if it tipped over the $100 million mark.

I'm gonna go with a solid $57.5 million. I hear no one talking about this movie but I'm still sure it'll do relatively good in it's opening weekend.

I'm going 120 million..... I kinda feel I might be wrong on this one, but over seas has been wonderful and I can imagine end of the year it'll make insane amount released in May instead of July. There's still a lot of fanboys still hesitant about this film, but hey it's not an origin, right?

$69 million. The first one made about 62, the reviews for this one thus far some to favorite it slightly better then the first one (on a broad scale that is) and although it doesn't have much competition at the box office, anyone who would go see this movie opening day and who wanted to see Captain America, saw Captain America already and there isn't much else really big movies.
That is my uneducated bullshit logic and I certainly did not pick 69 because te-he.
