'Spider-Man' dominates weekend, holdovers perform solidly

Capping a stellar first week, "The Amazing Spider-Man" dominated the weekend, grossing $65 million Friday to Sunday, bringing its six-day total to $140 million.

The film has earned $140 million to date.
The reboot has also done very well overseas, grossing an addition $201 million in foreign markets, for a worldwide total of $341 million.

The R-rated comedy from director Seth MacFarlane, "Ted," continues to defy expectations, bringing home a very solid $32 million in its second weekend for a 10-day total of $120 million.

Pixar's "Brave" is also holding up well, grossing $20.1 million in is third weekend for a total of $174 million.

Oliver Stone's "Savages," the only one of this week's debuting films to wait for Friday, earned a rather pedestrian $16 million over the weekend.

"Magic Mike" rounded out the top five with $15.6 million for a $72.7 million total.

The concert film "Katy Perry: Part of Me" had to settle for eighth place, grossing $7.1 million for the weekend. The movie, which opened Thursday, has grossed $10.2 million to date on a budget of $12 million. Despite the small opening compared to its fellow newcomers, "Part of Me" is already number eight on the highest grossing concert films list, only $110,000 behind "U2 3D."

Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" had another solid weekend in semi-wide release, taking home another $4.6 million, good enough for ninth place on the weekend. It only dropped five percent from its take from last weekend. It's now the director's second highest grossing film ever with $26.8 million, although it has a steep climb to reach "The Royal Tenenbaums," which earned $52 million in 2001.

Another auteur director saw his latest film get an expansion with Woody Allen's "To Rome with Love" expanding to 800 theaters, earning $3.5 million and 10th place.
