The movie was by no means a total failure, but it was a box-office disappointment putting into question the future of the Spidey franchise at Sony. R eviewers weren't particularly taken with the over-bloated installment critics generally noted that the movie focused on building its franchise and not on storytelling. The opening weekend for "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was worse than any of the movies in the original "Spider-Man" trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, and overall, it's the lowest-performing "Spider-Man" movie of the five. The latest installment in the revamped "Spider-Man" trilogy might have performed well with a seemingly impressive $91.6 million opening weekend but given Spidey's brand recognition ( he's the best-selling superhero toy) and a lot of hype for the sequel, it probably should have been the first $100 million opening weekend of the year. With no Pixar film this year, "The LEGO Movie" has a good chance at taking home the Oscar for best-animated film. already has three sequels in the works including a Batman spin-off. The film's combination of smart, subversive commentary about conformity, pop culture references and Easter eggs, along with top-notch voice talent (Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, and Elizabeth Banks) all made for an appealing movie for both kids and adults. The universal praise for the movie and a catchy theme song from the talented writer-director team of Christopher Miller and Phil Lord ("Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs," "21 Jump Street") helped prove everything about a LEGO movie is awesome. "The LEGO Movie" debuted at number one on the box-office charts with a $69.1 million opening weekend, making for one of the biggest February openings ever.
