grim22 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 To hit 50M for the weekend, TMNT would need 24M today (including midnights) at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Turtles is looking to have a run similar to G.I. Joe from exactly 5 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmscholar Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 I really don't "get" how Turtles is doing so well but whatever. Good for the box office I suppose. You do realize this is the 30th Anniversary of this Franchise which has had 3 Live Action Movies, an Animated Film and 4 Cartoon Series as well as comic books, clothing and toys. I mean haven't you guys seen random kids walking around with Turtles shirts? Cause I randomly see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Why? It looked absolutely horrid, had no big stars, looked like it was too mature for kids and too juvenile for adults. Plus I didn't even know the franchise had much of any popularity these days. But apparently that all adds up to one of the biggest August openings.

AJG Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I highly doubt it'll be that frontloaded. I do, the nostalgia fans will watch it this wknd. It'll drop like a brick next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I do, the nostalgia fans will watch it this wknd. It'll drop like a brick next week Pretty sure the primary audience going to see the film will be children.

Jack Nevada Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Pretty sure the primary audience going to see the film will be children. Kids and fat 35-year-old men with ponytails. Edited August 8, 2014 by Jack Nevada 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Deep Wang Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I do, the nostalgia fans will watch it this wknd. It'll drop like a brick next week That's what I don't understand. I get the nostalgia for the Turtles, I watched the shit out of the original cartoon. But if I want to relieve that, I'll just go find some old episodes or watch the original movie instead.

Or even know what it was... The Nickelodeon cartoon apparently averages 12M viewers every week. So plenty of kids obviously know what the franchise is about. EDIT: Also, the Turtles sold over 750M dollars of merchandise last year. That is in the upper echelon of merchandise sellers with Star Wars and Disney.
