It was no big surprise but it was still an amazing feat -- "The Amazing Spider-Man" debuted at No. 1 with $65 million, and has earned $140 million since opening Tuesday. Starring Andrew Garfield as our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man/Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, the Marc Webb-directed flick's success squashed naysayers (yup, including me) who thought it was too early for a reboot. I stand corrected.
Previous weekend's box-office champ, Seth MacFarlane's "Ted" fell to No. 2 with $32.6 and is on-track to become the No. 1 R-rated comedy, sorry "The Hangover."
Here's the Top 10 Box-Office Films for weekend of July 6th:
1. “The Amazing Spider-Man,” $65 million
2. “Ted,” $32.6 million
3. “Brave,” $20.2 million
4. “Savages,” $16.2 million
5. “Magic Mike,” $15.6 million
6. “Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Witness Protection,” $10.2 million
7. “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted,” $7.7 million
8. “Katy Perry: Part of Me,” $7.2 million
9. “Moonrise Kingdom,” $4.6 million
10. “To Rome with Love,” $3.5 million

Two big films to enjoy this weekend, first, we have Andrew Garfield sliding into the Spider-Man suit that Tobey Maguire vacated in the Marc Webb-directed reboot “The Amazing Spider-Man.” Is it really a reboot, an homage, or is that your spidey sense tingling déjà vu? (Take a look at my review)
We also have the concert documentary “Katy Perry: Part of Me.” This is not the all-out, honest music documentary in the veins of Madonna’s “Truth or Dare,” but rather a poppy, sugary-sweet confection of a pop princess and the road Perry took to catapult her from a Gospel singer to a superstar.
So, “Spider-Man” or “Katy Perry?” See which one is my pick of the week!
