Midnight is Spidey time. "The Amazing Spider-Man" made nearly $8 million from midnight screenings.

That's the same amount "Spider-Man 3" grossed in 2007. It ended up with a record $151 million opening weekend.

Experts are predicting the new Spider-man could make as much as $120 million over the long holiday weekend. 

Meanwhile, star Andrew Garfield found it "scarier" to kiss his real-life girlfriend Emma Stone in "The Amazing Spider-man" than doing his stunts.

He says when you're flying with the help of a harness, "you have a very strong, safe pair of hands holding you up."

In the kissing scenes, he says he was "free-falling." He says it was especially tough because Stone is "terrifying."
