Weekend Numbers: GOTG - 94M (PG 180) [25.5M Sunday (Spatula) Cancel the Godzilla legs!]

  I don't think turtles have Imax screens. 

 

I read it was and with a quick search found this but it mentions just Int'l

Imax is to digitally remaster and screen the movie reboot Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on its international big screens.

GOTG basically made it's budget back. I say this will end close to 600 million.

I think it will be in select IMAX. It is not playing at the IMAX by me though.

Not the biggest Guardians fan but I'm happy to see a movie like this rake in that kind of dough. This was more anticipated than Spidey 2 and DOFP which is just nutballs considering the histories attached to these franchises.I think this is a necessary victory for Marvel. Guarentees that their future through Avengers 3 and their expansion into cosmic Marvel lore will be widely anticipated, even after RDJ is gone.

Is there a chance this sold more tickets than Cap 2 because of more kids seeing it?

I agree. The hype was insane for this, much more than those other 2 films before release, people are probably so 'been there done that' with those 2 franchises already. Happy to see it surpassing expectations.

It also had higher 3D

When asked about it a representative straight up smiled and walked away from the interview, so it's almost definitely the case.

oh please let it be ....i'll watch anything with him in it 

 

except that pseudo doc he did i was like

“I don't know you anymore! Anakin   Joaquin, you're breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can't follow!”

 

 

 Luckily he snapped out of that and went back to his usual brooding self

Something positive here : Marvel won't be afraid about new franchises from less known comics, so we can be confident about Panther,Ant-Man, Miss Marvel and the Inhumans.GOTG shows you can be very successful with an all-new universe.

WOWZA great number! Hope the actual can push it over CA2 but great number nevertheless!Does anyone remember Jon Schnepp from AMC predicting close to 100OW and everyone just like "hahaha no"

[Fake]

Awesome for Guardians. 250M looking good as long as it doesn't crash next weekend.

[Maxmoser3]

This summer is a disaster let s face it, august may help it a little but the losses are too big to recover from.

I agree we need the fall and the holiday season to recover from this mess

[Warhorse]

Movies don't need to be serious to be great, most of my favorite movies tend to be comedies.

Yeah, I never understood the idea that a movie that is so serious, to the point that it just sucks the soul out of everyone watching it, would want to come back for a second helping.

I think he also predicted 150M OW for Godzilla and that was a huge miss, but in this case he actually came close.

its gonna be in a tight race with the turtles

Was there any doubt after those China numbers rolled in?   Could be the only 1B WW in 2014.
