LexJoker 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. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Well, I guess this puts to rest any doubts about the power of the Turtles as a franchise. It'd be awesome if it hits 70 million and the old August record goes down twice in a row. Also, can't wait for studios reactionary booking of major tentpoles in August in reaction to this MASSIVE month so far. Hell, considering the book's huge fanbase, I wouldn't count the Giver out for a breakout, but marketing has buried it to a degree that it looks unlikely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
