As expected, “The Amazing Spider-Man” came in at #1 on Friday, continuing to do healthy business after a robust Tuesday opening. The movie is not quite performing up to par with previous superhero phenomenons (Sam Raimi’s original “Spider-Man” trilogy included), but it’s doing fine business. It may prove to be the latest “3-D killer,” however, because audiences and critics alike agree on one thing: the use of stereoscopy in “The Amazing Spider-Man” leaves a lot to be desired.
Oliver Stone’s “Savages,” which our James Frazier raved about, did respectable numbers on Friday for an adult-oriented crime pic and should make a sturdy $15m over the weekend. It only managed a “C+” CinemaScore from audiences in exit-polling, though, so whether the movie will have box office legs remains in question. But one thing’s for sure: the folks at Universal are definitely happier about “Savages” than the folks at Paramount are about “Katy Perry: Part of Me,” which is barely beating the “Glee” concert movie in terms of gross revenues.
