on 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' hits $132 million at the international box office

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 doesn’t hit North America and key territories like China and Brazil until next Friday, but the Marc Webb helmed sequel has already earned over $130 million overseas.

After a second weekend which saw it earn an additional $67.2 million, The Amazing Spider-Man 2‘s current worldwide total now stands at over $132 million.

Big things are expected when it does open domestically next week, with some analysts predicting an opening of more than $90 million.

However, a lot of that will depend on word of mouth and reviews. Many US critics have yet to weigh in on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and the movie has so far had a somewhat mixed response from fans.

South Korea was the biggest new market this weekend with a $13.4 million, and it has earned $7 million from IMAX already.

Starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Chris Cooper and Paul Giamatti, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is set to be released in the UK on 16th April and in the US on May 2nd.

    I saw it last night in the UK and really enjoyed it. Electro not so much, but thought the green goblin was excellent, and the story was good. Am looking forward to see where it goes from here.

      Why wasn’t Electro very good? Please no spoilers in your explanation.

        Cuz he looks like Ah-Nold’s Mr Freeze, with Jim Carrey’s Riddler personality.

          Awm sucks, I was hoping he would be intimidating and badass like Bane in TDKR. That’s disappointing if he’s Jim Carrey Riddler-like.

          What’s wrong with his look though? He looks awesome. Would you rather he be wearing the classic green and yellow with a starfish mask? He’d look ridiculous. His look in the movie is more practical and realistic for a guy who is literally surging with electricity.

        I also struggled to find his villainous motives believable, whereas with the green goblin it was fun to see his descent into madness.

    Spiderman (meaning the character) by himself is reason enough to watch the movie. His personality is top notch here. Reminded me a lot to the one from the comics.
