Amazing Spiderman 2 tops Box Office

Marvel sequel "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has opened at the top of the North American box office with takings of $92m. The superhero Sony film enjoyed the second best domestic debut of the year so far, just behind Disney's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" enjoyed an overseas haul of $116m (£68.7m) over the weekend, bringing the film's international total to $370m after three weeks on release outside the US and Canada. The movie sees Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield) defending himself against numerous super villains including the Rhino, played by Paul Giamatti.
The sequel bumped last week's North American number one - "The Other Woman", starring Cameron Diaz - into second spot. "Heaven is for Real", the story of a young boy who claims to have visited heaven during a near-death experience, was third. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" was fourth, with animation "Rio 2" at number five.
Sony has two more Spider-Man movies due for release in 2016 and 2018.
