ecstasy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I can't believe a movie with a stupid talking raccoon and a dumb ass tree is making so much money. Go Turtles! LOL You're going tit for tat. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK007 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I have to say. Things were getting out of hand. People were starting to get pretty cocky around here They just assumed Turtles would be behind it this weekend. I have zero interest in seeing Turtles, Guardians was one of my most anticipated of the summer (turned out to be the biggest and only disappointment, thank heavens) but it's always glad to see arrogance put in its place. There's a group of posters who are mostly sane always reliable, a bunch who are tolerable even with mood swings and there's that fucktard bunch who go apeshit cocky, insulting, trolling whenever supported movie does well or hated movie does not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 So what did I miss overnight, aside from the disheartening Turtle numbers? I heard Tele had to put this thread into lockdown? Somebody named Chaz showed up and the thread started descending into gay porn territory, lol. It was going downhill fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO You can go overboard yourself too. But I'm not going to get into all of this. I think bringing Guardians back down to earth calmed the seas a bit.

ecstasy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 So that's why the CC thread took such an oddball turn when I caught up on it. Yeah it didn't last too long. Tele made a couple of 'knock it off" posts and they went ignored. People were actually mocking him at some point. So yeah, he had to close to show people he meant business.

#ED Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 5th UPDATE, Saturday, 6:58 AM: This morning the little Turtles movie that rose out of a comic book 30 years ago before finding its way onto Saturday morning cartoons to begin building its kiddie audience reached even higher. With all theaters’ ticket sales weigh in, it’s now expected to land between $64.5M to $65.1M. That means that this revamped Michael Bay version of the franchise is going to have a higher opening weekend than all previous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opening combined when they debuted in the early 1990s ($57.8M). That’s when the reptiles were at New Line Cinema instead of Paramount.Family audiences — which Paramount specifically marketed to — should fuel box office through today and tomorrow as the weekend is prime time for taking the kids out to the theaters. The downside to this as it heads into its second weekend is that it’s gotten bad reviews and it received a B CinemaScore last night which should affect its multiple.Meanwhile, Disney/Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy — as reported last night — will bring in around $42M+ over its three-day dropping about 55% in its second weekend out. Of the new offerings, Warner Bros. Into the Storm will swim in with an estimated $17.8M to $18.1M, so it did a little better than its original tracking numbers which had it around $15M to $17M initially. It took the No. 3 spot. Both this disaster movie and the No. four movie of the weekend — The Hundred-Foot Journey (DIS) — have a decent per screen average. The Hundred-Foot Journey will serve up around $11M+ this weekend for a per of around $5,700. The picture with the highest CinemaScore of the newbies with a B+ is Lionsgate’s Step Up All In which stepped over the James Brown biopic Get On Up in its second weekend to take the No. 6 spot with about $6.3M. The top five below did not change positions. The chart is coming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
