The Weekend Winner: "The Amazing Spider-Man"

Andrew Garfield

The Weekend Winner is a weekly update here on Caught on Set. Every Monday we will post pictures from the set of the movie that wins the box office battle over the weekend.

There were no surprises at the box office this weekend as The Amazing Spider-Man continued it's strong start over the weekend by bringing in $65 million. The comic book based film starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone pushed it's total gross to $140 million. The one movie that surprised me over the weekend was Savages, which grossed just over $16 million to come in 4th. I thought that movie, with the cast that it has, would fare much better than a $6,000 average per screen. From Boxofficemojo.com:

1 The Amazing Spider-Man $65,000,000
2 Ted $32,593,000
3 Brave $20,162,000
4 Savages $16,162,000
5 Magic Mike $15,610,000

Ted and Brave are still holding on strong in it's second and third week, respectively, in release. Magic Mike having another strong weekend just goes to show that all you ladies out there love strippers also. The movie about male "dancers" has grossed over $70 million in two weeks, which is 10 times more than the estimated budget of $7 million. Sex sells, no matter who you are selling too.

A Look Back: "The Amazing Spider-Man"

Andrew Garfield

“A Look Back” is a series of posts we here at Caughtonset.com feature weekly. It’s as simple as the title makes it sound. Each Friday we will take “A Look Back” to the set of a newly released film. Look at pictures from the set today, then watch the movie tonight.

Technically The Amazing Spider-Man has been in theaters most of the week, but this is the movies first weekend so it still counts as being a new release. Besides I don't think any other movie will come close to the amount of money this latest super hero flick will bring in.

Spider-Man earned $35 million on a Tuesday. If that wasn't impressive enough it then brought in $23 million the next day. The folks over at Boxofficemojo.com say that Spidey is on track for a 6-day total of $140 million. That is pretty damn good for a movie that is the 4th in the franchise. Be sure to check out all of the pictures we have from the set including, Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary and Martin Sheen.

Jason Segel

Jason Segel is spotted on the set of his new film The Five-Year Engagement in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Tuesday (June 7). Also spotted on set was Rhys Ifans (who was seen filming The Amazing Spider-Man in May with Andrew Garfield).

It's been a pretty busy year for Jason. In addition to his role on the CBS series How I Met Your Mother, he also finished production on The Muppets earlier this year (pics here). Segel's also been busy promoting his new film Bad Teacher, which will be released on June 24.

He needs a vacation!

Rhys Ifans' "Spider-Man" cover-up

Rhys Ifans

Rhys Ifans is spotted hiding from the cameras Monday on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man in Manhattan's Upper West Side (May 9). Ifans plays The Lizard in the film and was covering up his makeup. You can see a few pics of his reptilian neck in the gallery below.

Here's what the Marvel Universe Wiki says about Ifan's character The Lizard:

"Curt Connors was a gifted surgeon who went into a war to help his country. He performed 'meatball' surgery on wounded GIs, but his arm was injured in a blast and had to be amputated. He eventually became obsessed with uncovering the secrets of reptilian regeneration, and studied reptilian biology extensively. From his home in the Everglades, he finally determined a serum taken from the DNA of a reptile. He had successfully regrown the missing limb of a rabbit, and, despite the warnings of his wife, chose to test it on himself. Connors ingested it, and his arm did indeed grow back. Unfortunately, it had one side effect: Connors was subsequently transformed into a reptilian monster!"

Rhys Ifans and Andrew Garfield filming "The Amazing Spider-Man"

Rhys Ifans and Andrew Garfield

Rhys Ifans and Andrew Garfield are spotted filming a scene for The Amazing Spider-Man in Brooklyn on Saturday (May 7). The pics are the first clear look at Ifans' character Dr. Curt Conners - aka "The Lizard." The green thing he's wearing around his hand is to make it easier to add a special effect (lizard arm?) in post-production.

Director Marc Webb was also caught on set. You can see the pics of him in the gallery below. Webb told MTV News last year what originally attracted him to the new Spider-Man project:

"I think that there's something about Peter Parker that's just... He's a legend. That mythology is appealing to me and it has been for a long time. It's just a dream come true. [Sam Raimi] did something fantastic, but I do think the mythology of Spider-Man is wide and vast, and there's more opportunity to explore that cinematically. Sam is not only a great guy but a fantastic director and it's a humbling prospect, but I'm looking forward to it."
