Deadline is reporting that THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (Sony) has set a new all-time Tuesday record with $32-35M, beating previous record-holder Transformers, the last movie to open on a Tuesday that fell on July 3, which had $27.9M in 2007. (There are, admittedly, very few movies that open on Tuesdays–after Transformers, the next was the Omen remake, which made $12.6M on–of course–6/6/06.)
The footnote to the record is that Transformers opened with “preview” screenings earlier than midnight on Monday night, earning $8.8M that didn’t count as part of its Tuesday number, while Amazing held off until midnight. Here’s the way the rest of Transformers‘ $155.4M holiday and weekend opening played out:
Monday July 2: $8.8M
Tuesday July 3: $27.9M
Wednesday July 4: $29.1M (+ 4%, and the highest-ever 4th of July)
Thursday July 5: $19.2M (-33%)
Friday July 6: $22.7M (+18%)
Saturday July 7: $25.7M (+13%)
Sunday July 8: $22.1M (-14%)
The Independence Day number for Amazing will tell us a lot more than we know now, as we discover whether, like Transformers, it can rise on the holiday. (Incidentally, the highest-ever daily boxoffice for any Spider-Man movie was the $59.8M earned by Spider-Man 3 on its opening day, Friday May 4, 2007, on its way to a $151.1M 3-day opening weekend–still the 5th highest ever.)
