In line with our Tuesday forecast, the 27th weekend of 2012 is looking like $189 million for the Top 12 films Friday-Sunday, up 29% from this weekend last year and up 24% from the multi-year average for this weekend.         

The Amazing Spider-Man from Sony continued with $20.4 million Friday and is headed for an estimated $63.1 million opening weekend, almost exactly the $64.0 million ShowBuzzDaily forecast.  The film should average $14,600 for the weekend at 4,318  theaters.  In addition to the $75 million grossed Tuesday-Thursday, Amazing Spider-Man should total $138 million through Sunday, on its way to $284 million total domestic, according to our ShowbuzzDaily Forecast.  A complete international revenue update for this and all other films in wide release late Sunday.

Savages from Universal opened with $5.6 million Friday and is headed for a $16.8 million opening weekend, somewhat ahead of the $13.5 million ShowbuzzDaily forecast.   Playing at 2,628 theaters, the film should average $6,400 per theater (a very average number for all films released the last two years).   Savages is headed for a preliminary $54 million domestic gross.

Katy Perry: Part of Me from Paramount continued with $2.7 million Friday and is headed for $6.3 million this weekend, well below the $10.5 million ShowbuzzDaily forecast.  The music documentary should average a very weak $2,300 this weekend at 2,730 theaters.  In addition to the $3.1 million opening Thursday, Katy Perry should total $9.4 million through Sunday, headed for may $20 million total in North America.

With a strong second weekend performance and solid mid-week grosses, Ted has been upgraded to $211 million total domestic (from last week’s initial $171 million projection).  Also Brave has been increased to a domestic total of $243 million.
