"The Amazing Spider-Man" dominated the Fourth of July holiday, grossing $23.3 million on Wednesday after debuting Tuesday with a record-breaking $34.1 million.
The reboot's first-day haul was the highest Tuesday opening ever, topping the original "Transformers," which grossed $27.8 million in 2007. The film's Wednesday take was the second highest non-opening Wednesday ever, this time falling behind "Transformers," which grossed $29 million on its second day.
The fast start puts "The Amazing Spider-Man" on track to have a very solid first weekend, when it will face the additional competition of "Katy Perry's Part of Me" and director Oliver Stone's "Savages."
In second place for Wednesday was last weekend's headliner, "Ted," which actually fell slightly from Tuesday with $8 million.
Pixar's "Brave" and "Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection," on the other hand, both benefitted from the mid-week holiday, bringing home $6.4 million and $3.1 million respectively, both double-digit percentage point increases.
Showing R-ratings and the Fourth of July aren't necessarily a good mix, "Magic Mike" also dropped from Tuesday to Wednesday, grossing $3 million, and rounding out the top five.
