'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.

The complete list of the weekend's top 10 grossing films is:

1. "The Amazing Spider-Man," $65 million (Total: $140 million)
2. "Ted," $32.5 million (Total: $120.2 million)
3. "Brave," $20.1 million (Total: $174.5 million)
4. "Savages," $16.1 million (New)
5. "Magic Mike," $15.6 million (Total: $72.7 million) 
6. "Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection," $10.2 million (Total: $45.8 million)
7. "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted," $7.7 million (Total: $196 million)
8. "Katy Perry: Part of Me," $7.1 million (Total: $10.2 million) 
9. "Moonrise Kingdom," $4.6 million (Total: $26.8)  
10. "To Rome with Love," $3.5 million (Total: $5.6 million)

Katy Perry no match for 'Spider-Man' at the box office

With three films debuting on different days this week, "Katy Perry: Part of Me" opened Thursday to a disappointing fifth place finish for the day, bringing in less than a fifth of what "The Amazing Spider-Man" grossed on its fourth day of release.

The film grossed $3 million on Thurday.

The concert film took home $3.1 million on Thursday compared to the $15.8 million haul from "Spider-Man." The superhero reboot had grossed $75 million in its first four days, with the traditional weekend still to go.

"Part of Me" was also behind "Ted" with $8 million, "Brave" with $4.9 million and "Magic Mike" with $4.5 million.

The film will also have to contend with the R-rated drug drama "Savages" from director Oliver Stone, which opened today. Neither movie is expected to come close to "Spider-Man."

'Spider-Man' rules over Fourth of July box office

"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 film earned $34 million Wednesday.

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.
