Dementeleus Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Call me crazy, but if it's as good as it looks, it could have a shot at $400m worldwide. Well, my loonie prediction is more than that, but yes, $400m would be solid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Just as an aside, so this is what happens when you have a popular franchise 20+ years old (but that never really died and lived on in other formats) resurrected in a new movie. All you SW doubters... does the TMNT result make you rethink your low-end guesses? Because SW is TMNT on steroids. Lots and lots of steroids. I think the SW doubters are just the young pups. No way anyone who lived through TPM hype would seriously doubt that SW7 will be enormous 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wileECoyote Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Yeah. That's what I was thinking too. Good hold but not the outstanding hold a lot were hoping for. People were really underestimating the popularity of TMNT. I'm glad Guardians was able to do what it did in the face of the competition though some didn't think there would be any. TMNT has their loyal following and some have pointed out their still very popular in the tv shows. Also, the big nostalgia factor. There were a lot of adults streaming out talking about Shredder and the Turtles And for that derailment last night Well the two biggest movies this weekend are nostalgic. GotG is like a throwback 80's Space Opera filled with 70's 80's music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXtacy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Boxoffice projecting only TMNT 62m and GOTG 40m Hmmmmmm, that seems a bit lowish 12.4 16.7 +35% 12.5 -25% 41.7m Edited August 9, 2014 by eXtacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 This weekend makes me wonder how Power Rangers will do. Also, will Hollywood be tempted into doing a Thundercats movie. Seems like a no-brainer considering Thundercats has a concept similar to Avatar and the nostalgia of Transformers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
