Swinging into the season.

The first weekend in May is becoming quite a coveted spot during the year.  Marvel has set up shop with Iron Man and The Avengers taking home massive box office receipts in the past.  Hoping to continue that streak, they have moved in Spider-Man as a place holder to the next Avengers movie. Although $92 million is a decent opening, I bet expectations were over the century mark.

Now let's look to week two.  As Spidey tries to keep it's handle on the top spot, there are a few new movies coming out.  Legends of Oz looks to cash in on Dorothy's fame; Mom's Night Out wants to rekindle the women bonding aspect of Bridesmaids; and Neighbors wants us to imagine a world of living by a frat. This might be a horror movie for those over 25.
