Sony Pictures said the 3D movie's box office total, which included $4 million from giant Imax theater screens, broke the previous record of $27.8 million for a Tuesday debut held by the first 'Transformers' film that opened on July 3, 2007.
The studio projects domestic ticket sales of $110 million to $120 million from Tuesday through Sunday, which encompasses Wednesday's Independence Day holiday in the United States.
Sony spent about $215 million to produce the highly-anticipated film, plus tens of millions more on marketing.
'The Amazing Spider-Man' reboots the modern film series that began with 2002's "Spider-Man" and over three movies netted around $2.5 billion at global box offices for its makers Marvel Studios and distributor Sony Pictures.
Sony Pictures is a division of Sony Corp and Marvel is part of The Walt Disney Co.
