TalismanRing Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Well Nikki is always snarky. And nostalgia does have a lot to do with it's success. That's definitely a factor. I'll always have a soft spot for them. Those 5 year olds - nostalgic for those halcyon 2 year old days when there was no Kindergarten and life was free and easy and temper tantrums were far more allowed. sniff Edited August 8, 2014 by TalismanRing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Before TF4, I had never actually heard of studios fudging the Actuals (must have been living under a rock) have there been any other recent cases of this? Posted this two years ago and last month...according to Mario Kassar, on Facebook, he says fudging goes on way more than we know and it's just accepted.

Alpha Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Posted this two years ago and last month...according to Mario Kassar, on Facebook, he says fudging goes on way more than we know and it's just accepted. I think more people reacted strongly to the Transformers 4 fudging because while all other sources claimed it was a $98 million OW, Paramount's lone $100 million number became official. I think as long as they didn't make an extra $2 million from nothing, it just serves as an annoyance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmscholar Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Forbes admits that Turtles might win with over 50 Million OW. They are basing it on "Wolverine" and "Maleficent" having 4 Million Previews. http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2014/08/08/box-office-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-nets-strong-4-6m-thursday/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Goodness, I like Guardians. But why does people have to be so butthurt and bitter if TMNT perform well? This summer BO needs the most help it can get, so I hope TMNT will do well. And the movie looks like harmless nostalgia fun, why the hate? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as it was announced Bay was producing, Turtles became the pariah of the summer of 2014. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkelf Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Goodness, I like Guardians. But why does people have to be so butthurt and bitter if TMNT perform well? A general disdain towards Jonathan Liebeshack. Nothing to do with Guardians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I have no interest whatsoever in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but all this bitching about is starting to get a little over the top. Yes, it will make a fortune. No, the world won't stop spinning if it does. Yesh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh forbid, people can like both movies, or that both movies do well.I hope it does well, would be nice if August outperform July. 2014 will have one more thing to be remembered about beside the insane amount of 90M+ openers, good quality movies but disappointing/underwhelming BO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I'm not bitching about anything. I only stated my opinion that I don't like Bay's films a few pages back, and that's it. We're allowed to have opinions, right? Also, this thread has gotten catty real fast. Edited August 8, 2014 by Alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
