Sony' Marvel superhero film "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" kindled the summer blockbuster movie season with a solid 92 million U.S. dollars debut at No. 1 this weekend according to Rentrak.
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has a chance to be the biggest north American opening of the year to date, but it fell percent behind the 95 million dollars April debut of another Marvel movie, Disney 's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." In terms of May openings, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" ranks No. 7.
For the sequel, Andrew Garfield returns as Peter Parker, and Emma Stone reprises her role as Parker's girlfriend Gwen Stacy. The web-slinging hero faces a trio of super villains: Electro ( Jamie Foxx), Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan) and Rhino (Paul Giamatti).
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" got 54 percent of positive critics from Rotten Tomatoes. The weekend audiences gave the film a "B+" Cinema Score overall and an "A-" from the under-25 moviegoers. Family audiences made up 33 percent of the film's overall audience, while the non-family moviegoers skewed towards male moviegoers (61 percent) and the crowd under the age of 25 (51 percent).
A 92 million dollars start for the new movie, while strong, would not be the biggest kickoff from a Spider-Man film.
