The Amazing Spider-Man Reviews, Interviews & More
While the latest in Avengers 2 news typically keeps fans frothing at the notion of what Joss Whedon will attempt to pull off next, it’s easy to forget that not only did The Amazing Spider-Man do solid business this summer, it has a sequel planned for 2014, as well. And two significant news bits leaked about the film today—one concerning the character of Mary Jane...
Though The Amazing Spider-Man did solid business, netting about $750 million in worldwide ticket, it still fell far short of expectations—fan expectations, critical expectations, even box office expectations (though $750 million is a massive amount of money, when considering how much money went into the film, coupled with what the other two big superhero films of the summer made, it...
Sadly, the summer is almost over. Most kids have gone back to school and the weather is slowly cooling down for the fall season. Many believe that this summer's movie season was one of the weakest in the past couple of years, but we think otherwise. It was chocked full of fascinating independent movies and stupidly fun popcorn flicks that hit our sweet spot. So let's reflect on some of the...
Though there are three wide releases this weekend, who cares? Summer's over. Labor Day weekend is here. So let's talk about the winners of the summer, and general trends. Cause that's fun. And you'll never guess who won the summer (Hint: it was The Avengers)
Those who know anything about the Spider-Man comics know that Gwen Stacy, the love interest portrayed by Emma Stone in this summer’s The Amazing Spider-Man, meets a rather unfortunate end in the comic books series. And Stone is not only aware of Gwen Stacy’s fate—she’s actively pushing for it.
There's a pall over this weekend's box office because the release of The Dark Knight Rises was marred in tragedy. It's hard to say if the events from the midnight screening hurt the film's grosses, but thinking about that is ghoulish. Here are the numbers.
The Hollywood Reporter got a chance to sit down with Doug Belgrad, the President of Columbia pictures, to talk about what's been a good year for them, with some big hits (21 Jump Street), and some modest break-evens (Men in Black 3, The Amazing Spider-Man), and some misfires (That's My Boy)....
This summer took its time launching its kids films (partly because the summer season for movies starts before most kids get out of school), but we've seen some winners in the bunch, and Ice Age: Continental Drift took this weekend. But - as I said Thursday - it gets a week until Batman, and this feels like the calm before the big movie.
You know what happens next weekend, right? Yup, The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters, and often when there's an absolute must-see, there's the possibility it will lay waste to everything in its path. That's what happen last time there was a Batman movie, so Fox - which has already released Ice Age: Continental Drift internationally - is hoping...
About two weeks back Sony called their shot, and said that they were thinking they'd get to $125 Million for their six-day opening of The Amazing Spider-Man. They were wrong. They underestimated.
Over the past two days The Amazing Spider-Man has already grossed nearly $60 Million stateside. Calling it the weekend winner doesn't take much work. It's going up against Katy Perry: Part of Me, and Savages and if it can't take both it's because it completely collapsed.
Well, it looks like it’s finally been decided – The Amazing Spider-Man is set to be a trilogy. The news was announced on the official Facebook page after producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach met with SuperHeroHype last week. At the time, Tolmach was non-commital about how many movies may follow after this week’s successful release.
Ten years after Sam Raimi first brought Spider-Man to the big screen, and five years after the third film in that series, we're getting The Amazing Spider-Man, which reboots the story of Peter Parker (now played by Andrew Garfield), and goes over much of the same territory of how he becomes Spider-Man. One's enjoyment of this new version will directly correlate to how...
If the films of summer 2012 have been marked by anything, it’s this—a massive oversaturation of marketing. Teasers, trailers, teasers for the trailers, whole scenes, viral ads, photo collections, secret websites, behind the scenes clips, and multiple posters are now almost expected to be released in the weeks leading up to the release of any would-be blockbuster, as insecure studios feel...
Yesterday, we reported to you that Sony’s in-development Venom spinoff will likely take place in the same fictional universe as the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man, with random crossovers and cameos, a la The Avengers with Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor and Captain America. Now, it was leaked today that, originally, The Avengers was set to feature a Spider-Man crossover…...
In light of The Avengers, studios seem to be putting all of their attention on the superhero genre. DC Comics and Warner Bros. are moving right ahead with their own assembly of Justice League superhero films. Now it seems Sony might also jump on board with a Spider-Man/Venom crossover.
A new scene for the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man premiered on The Tonight Show with Chin Chino on Tuesday night, featuring a confrontation between The Lizard and Gwen Stacy. The clip debuted during an interview with Emma Stone, and it reveals some spoiler-ish details about the film. Check out the clip below.
It’s the summer movie season of 2012. What does that mean? Well, it means that you’ll essentially be seeing at least 20 minutes of every major movie weeks before they are released, thanks to lengthy clips, spoiler-heavy trailers, and online features released seemingly every hour onto the internet. Today’s newest example? A four-minute The Amazing Spider-Man trailer,...
Can’t wait until The Avengers premiers on Thursday night at midnight to catch attached prints of the new The Amazing Spider-Man trailer, replete with its heavy-handed CGI web-slinging throughout the city (looks like some things just haven’t improved since the Sam Raimi days), copious shots of the villainous villain, more jokes, and more immersive 3D shots...
Between the megahype concerning The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, and Prometheus, you may have forgotten that a certain wall-crawler is getting a reboot this summer. As such, Sony is planning on releasing a new trailer today for the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man reboot just to remind fans that it exists. And as we count down to the new trailer’s...
