Having the record Tuesday opening sounds a lot like a CBS statistic of “the best new comedy at 8 p.m. on Mondays,” but “The Amazing Spider-Man” webbed up $35 million to set a new Tuesday record beating out the $27.9 million haul of the original “Transformers.”

It’s safe to assume the film will prove to be an attractive option for audiences looking to escape the holiday heat as the Eastern region was enduring near 100-degree temperatures.

Box office analysts suspect the film will earn about $150 million this weekend. Not bad for a re-launch.
