grim22 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) And finally Deadline weighs in Box Office Matinees: ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Looks To Win Weekend Battle As Estimates Raise to $50M to $55M; ‘Guardians’ Over $40M 2nd UPDATE, Friday, 1:49 PM: No two ways about it, it’s a monster.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is looking like its on track for a $20M to $22M Friday, soaring to a new weekend estimate of $50M to $55M for Paramount Pictures. Others have it at $47M to $53M. Regardless, it is on track to be the weekend’s big winner. Disney/Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy in its second weekend should feel the surge tonight, but it looks like it will gross in the low-to-mid $40M for the three day. It’s holding well though with maybe a 53% drop. Warner Bros.’ disaster picInto the Storm is tracking at $14.5M to $18M for the weekend right now, and Disney’s The Hundred-Foot Journey from DreamWorks/Participant may dish up $7M to $9.5M. Meanwhile, Lionsgate’s romancer Step Up: All In looks right now to swing in with $6M to $9M. That’s how it looks now. Will update again as the day/night progresses, but a big congrats to Paramount and everyone involved in this picture which was marketed well to family audiences. It has been tracking strong among the 25 to 35 crowd — those kids who grew up on the Turtles on Saturday morning cartoons.

filmscholar Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Nobody should be crying a River for "Guardians", if it makes over 40 it will still be pacing well past 220 domestic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I totally hope somehow Pokemon and Digimon someday get big screen treatments as well. They are the big boys of the mid/late 1990. Hopefully the success of this TMNT makes that happen. Edited August 8, 2014 by CJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yandereprime101189 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Turtles is pretty popular on Nick right now at the moment so I'm not surprised that it might end up with a 50 million + weekend. Plus there's that nostalgia factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the success of this TMNT makes that happen. Considering the Digimon movie did a pathetic $9M back in 2000 (which is around the time I assume the show was popular), I wouldn't bet on that ever happening.

filmscholar Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 My kid can't get enough of the Turtle shit. The animation on that show is trash though, I honestly can't get into the new animated shows. I honestly only like Traditional Animation for my Turtles cartoons. I think computer animation has over saturated the market. There should of always been a balance between traditional and computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Man, not even my nostalgia boner, Megan Fox, or my son's interest in turtles could get me to the theater to see the new TMNT But, I am hoping for a good box office to give the summer some positive closure, so good on Turtles.Man, if Guardians manages a 53% drop.... AWESOME! Edited August 8, 2014 by WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the success of this TMNT makes that happen. Pokemon already had 2 movies that got released in theaters in the US in 99 and 2000. The first was actually kind of massive, grossing around 200m DOM adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
