Heat Vision Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 It's doing good, so he'll get the credit. If it did bad, it would all be on Liebesman.Speaking of which, did Nolan get the credit for MoS or no?I'm sure he would have if it was good.

Dementeleus Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Would the past 2 pages be considered to be a derailment?? Tele, we need a ruling.Getting there. :ph34r:Plus, Menahem Golan died today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Bay has undeniable talent when it comes to drawing in the masses.Sure he works with well established properties but he is just darn good. A big factor in me wanting to see TMNT is that Bay is involved. I think these 80's properties sell themselves. Even Secret of the Ooze with Vanilla Ice made 150 m domestic (adjusted).

Chaz Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Turtles was a piece of shit, btw. Worst movie experience I've had since the all-time worst, Trashformers: Retrash of the Trashen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 GotG dropping under 50% against Ninja Turtles, while I remain highly skeptical, would be absolutely incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowhite Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm kind of giddy at this weekend just blowing out year over year comparisons. Finally...a blockbuster with legs...an overperformer. Good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Sorry Tele, didn't mean to derail the thread. Someone brought up 80's cartoons and Michael Bay since now he has 2 successful attempts at doing it. Back to our regularly schedule program. Wow Turtles shuts some haters up. Good God at Guardians, looks like the WOM is kicking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 It also helps that '80s babies are one of the first generations to not really let go of their kiddie stuff. I mean, our parents or grandparents weren't really clamoring for a Howdy Doody or HR PufnStuf, were they? I agree, we have embraced our childhoods more than our parents did. This is why "Transformers" and :"Turtles" can be a blockbuster success. We are bringing our kids while re-living out childhoods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 They should let Bay produce G.I. Joe 3. Same studio and also a Hasbro property like Transformers.Or maybe he could reboot it with nods to Transformers so we one day get a G.I. Joe Transformers crossover film.Why? Isn't one franchise's quality and integrity being destroyed enough?Well, it's not like GI Joe had any of that anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Oh, this is funny. Prepare for the inevitable meltdowns when that Guardian number will decrease. I won't be too dissapointed if it goes down by $2-3M, considering it's still a great second weekend drop for a huge tentpole, and it's 10-day total will be larger than any other 2014 movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
