Sam Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yep and adjusted for average ticket price and population of NA Domestic Box Office it has made the equivalent of over $450M in 9 days (and only 1 weekend in those 9 days) :worthy:Have you watched it yet?

Wrath Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 ^ This. Other movies just don't matter in SK right now. Its been showing for like 10 days and is already the 5th highest grossing movie of the year in SK and will probably move up to #4 today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it will be like this in North America when Age of Ultron opens next May. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The decrease is average for 2014's openers, but it's still the biggest first Wednesday of the year. No doubt to say the least impressive. I think a sub-50 percent drop is in store this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1stpierre Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yes! That's a great number! I think 45M is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I think I feel like someone who didn't like Pirates of the Caribbean. Not that Guardians has made it to $300m yet, but because it's being called "exciting" and "new" and whatnot, it seems it could be the franchise for the next generation. Nothing else right now is on that level I don't think. Except of course, there have been about a billion superhero movies recently and even more movies following the same "save the world" kind of story and there were no proper films about pirates. I hope something new comes up soon. Something fun, not the brooding Christian Bale kind of shit and preferably not something like Tarzan, Mowgli, Peter Pan and all the other crappy reinventions coming up.

ecstasy Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Nice to see GOTG ahead of turtles. I think Turtles may be ahead on Fandango, though I haven't seen any percentages just a blurb in an article in TMNT thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) What are you talking about? It has only opened in a handful of markets and in Russia it opened above CAP2 and THOR2. It's going to do very well in Australia this weekend. The only market it's been underperformed is SK and there's a good reason why. It still has most major European markets to open as well as Aus (had previews) China and Japan but it has opened in 43 markets. It's 30-50% behind CAP2 and Thor2 in almost all the Asian markets it opened - SK is just the largest. There's also Philippines, HK, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore. It's also about that far behind in LA so far with Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador except for Argentina where it opened big. Thor 2 also had a strange release in RUS where it's 2nd weekend was 50% bigger than it's 1st. In the smaller European markets though it's close to Thor openings which might indicate it will be stronger there like Thor.

TalismanRing Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I think Turtles may be ahead on Fandango, though I haven't seen any percentages just a blurb in an article in TMNT thread. Fandango announced yesterday that Turtles was ahead and outselling GI Joe which opened to $54m. On MT it should pass GOTG today (right now 30% vs 23%) which makes sense since there are previews tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally they will report the percentage number of presales. Maybe they will today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think GOTG can have a better overall weekend than Turtles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it to beat Guardians somewhat handily this weekend. That said, I expect Guardian's to have the best second weekend of any of the $90M+ openers this year and to beat Turtles next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardians does have one thing going in it's favor. It still has all of the Imax theaters. That may give it the edge. But Turtles will be coming on strong. Will be interesting to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like what happened with CATWS & Rio 2, I think TMNT will get off to a fast start with GotG closing the gap on Saturday and/or Sunday. It'll be an interesting weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
