#ED Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Anything above 40M will give Turtles a pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Don't forget. Not to sound dirty but a lot of young boys are still into Megan: Really? What young boys? I was 13 when TF came out. I have moved past Megan Fox a long time ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 The Nickelodeon cartoon apparently averages 12M viewers every week. So plenty of kids obviously know what the franchise is about. A fun ratings fact I was unaware of. Still haven't ever seen kids sporting any TMNT paraphernalia that I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Uh no. I haven't ever met or seen a kid that appeared to have any interest in the franchise quite honestly. Or even know what it is... Well there are a lot of young and old Turtle fans out there. I'm willing to say based on this being the 30th Anniversary it was pretty critic proof going in.

MovieMan89 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I just hope it drops 60%+ next weekend if it's as bad as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) A fun ratings fact I was unaware of. Still haven't ever seen kids sporting any TMNT paraphernalia that I can recall. From October 2013, 475M worth of merchandise sold. Apparently it ended 2013 with over 750M in merchandise sold. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/london-expo-nickelodeon-touts-475-649396 London Expo: Nickelodeon Touts $475 Million in Retail Sales for Relaunched 'Turtles' FranchiseAt a brand licensing show, executives laud the global first-year retail sales for the reinvigorated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the continued strength of SpongeBob SquarePants.

filmscholar Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Really? What young boys? I was 13 when TF came out. I have moved past Megan Fox a long time ago. So you are in your early 20's now. Your telling me she still ain't attractive? Obviously she's a little out of her prime now and she's been off the screen for awhile.

filmlover Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I saw the original live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie in theaters when I was 9. Yes, I feel ancient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In defense of that her other films weren't really trying to Blockbusters sans "Jonah Hex". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't care less I will see it because of the TMNT brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 10. It's crazy to look back that it's been 25 years. But like "Batman 89", Turtles was EVERYWHERE in 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hollywood Reporter weighing in. Although I fail to see the big difference between 50M+ and 52M+.Guardians will be halfway towards 600 m on day 10.Has Disney had any flops this year?

Yeah, but people would have still shown up, if that was the case, regardless. She probably had to do with 5% of this films success, if that.

That's a long time fans have been waiting. They were going to at least give it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 So if the kids show is what's so big I wonder why not do an official movie tie in for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
