Weekend Numbers (pg119) Turtles 65M, GOTG 41.5

Recommended Posts





They should really make a live action Ghostbusters movie.

 

Yeah, the cartoon was pretty good. I don't know if you can render the ghosts on a reasonable budget, tho

Paramount tempering expectations

 

6th UPDATE, Saturday, 8:56 AM:Paramount Pictures finally weighed in this AM and they are predicting lower than all other estimates on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, saying that they think the three-day will be $62M, so maybe they know something that every other distributor out there doesn’t; all others have it grossing a three-day of $64.5M to $65M+. The studio has its reptilian monster taking in $25.6M last night. The thing is, the CinemaScores for this is skewing incredibly well for the younger audiences … they note it themselves this morning that it has an A for kids, which is true: Under 18 which made up 27% of the audience yesterday gave it that grade and we are heading into a strong family moviegoing day.

So my expectations for childhood franchises to get adapted by hollywood

 

Posted Image

Thundercats - 90% - It was pretty big

 

Posted Image

He-Man - 100% - Its pretty much a no-brainer 

 

 

 

Posted Image

The Mysterious City of Gold - 60% - It wasn't huge but it could be a property with a lot of potential

 

 

 

Posted Image

Inspector Gadget - 70% - Even that awful adaption in the 90's made $100M

 

 

 

 

 

Posted Image

MASK - 60% - Only because you can make a TF clone from it

 

Posted Image

Visionaires - 40% - You could make something decent from the plot outline

 

Posted Image

Centurions - 50% - Basically it would be Iron Man with 3 guys instead of one

 

Posted Image

Captain Planet - 80% - It was every bit as popular as TMNT at one point

Wow, Get on Up is only going to finish at about 40 domestically, even with good reviews.  Why aren't more Black audiences / moviegoers going to see this kind of movie other than really stupid crap like Ride Along, Think Like a Man 7, Bad Boys 13, Big Momma's House 5, Tyler Perry's Madea part 17, and others.  Spike Lee has said before there is a problem here with African-American audiences often not supporting movies based on real people and real events.
