It's too early to predict the collections, but there are a few things one should bear in mind before predicting:
#1 - It wasn't supposed to be this way. Raimi took way too long for the 4th installment. Studio decided to start from scratch.
#2 - When the first Spiderman movie came out, people were hungry for more superhero movies having just seen X-Men. In hindsight they did make the first movie good. So Spiderman the movie series inherited a dedicated fan following. The sequels kind of sucked (in my opinion) but the fans were going to watch anyway.
What I'm trying to say is that the sequels are kind of overrated.
#3 For those who were Spidey fans long before the movies, the complete lack of his sense of humor in the movies was, well, creepy. And we would definitely want to see if the remake can fix this.
#4 You may think Kirsten Dunst is pretty and acted well, but the girl she portrayed was nothing like MJ. Plus, she looked sort of too old for the part.
#5 It's not like this kind of thing is happening for the first time. Hulk was not that bad, but I think we all will agree that The Incredible Hulk was better.
So, cynics, skeptics, have a little respect, a little faith, and an open mind.
PS - Andrew Garfield (the new webslinger) was totally awesome in The Social Network (he played Saverin)
