eXtacy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 So which numbers should we look at, deadline or Nikki's? Nikki's have been constantly 2-3 million higher than deadline's at every point so far. Her estimate should be quite good at this time of night given that she also has last weekend as a reference for GOTG. 42m would be a safe bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Reactions? lol, from who? Are kids filling out surveys now? TMNT will drop about 55% next weekend....pretty standard. Yep. Pretty standard for a SH film. I think people tend to think of TMNT as similar to Transformers and GI Joe, adaptions of cartoons or even toys, but even though both of those properties had(and continue to have) long comic book runs, TMNT started as comic book characters...comic book super-heroes even, with all that goes with that. Make no mistakes, TMNT is a comic book superhero franchise just like the Avengers or Batman(just a lot more tongue-in-cheek due to the cartoon's influence).

Donald Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Wow 60mill...Who woulda thunk!So which other movie will blow with this august boom?Is 1bill 4 the month a good target? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketheavenger Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 That Turtles opening is huge, but the box office needs it, so I won't complain. As for Guardians, I said it before and I'll say it again. As long as it stays above 40M I'm happy. The people who predicted a sub 50% drop let their love for the movie blind their discernment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Huh. And there was me thinking it might have been a close race for #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vc2002 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Damn even 60m is possible? The marketing really paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) First question. Is that a personal copy? I wish. EDIT: If I had 15k to invest on a comic it wouldn't be TMNT #1, it would be getting back my copy of Amazing Fantasy 15.

Hatebox Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Wait, what happened to the 47m wknd of GOTG? I couldn't be bothered to trawl through the thread but I think that was just Nikki being Nikki. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Wait, what happened to the 47m wknd of GOTG? The business on the west coast probably wasn't as strong as they anticipated it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 OK, I had a feeling that 47 number was a little too good to be true hold for Guardians. But 40-42 is still fantastic. Puts it still ahead of Cap and right neck and neck with TF4. As for "Turtles", What Went Right? EVERYTHING. Congrats again goes to Bay for reviving another Classic 80's Cartoon Franchise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Also it seems late night West Coast as well as Walk Ups really came through for Turtles. The Estimates just keep going up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalel009Shel Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The business on the west coast probably wasn't as strong as they anticipated it would be. Nope Turtle Power was just as big as the fans of this franchise thought you mean Mr. Empire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
