ecstasy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Turtle Power!!! a big FU to some websites calling Paramount foolish for scheduling TMNT one week after GoTG That's strange considering Guardians was only expected to make 65m, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXtacy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 How's the reaction from the GA? I think 160 M is possible with that kind of opening. Mixed I think, B Cinemascore. Low IMDb and Rt scores. Fans and young kids like it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 So a 62% bump. Hmm...who called that earlier in the week? Does anyone know? lmao. They'll never give you props for this but you called it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 So funny it was so much gloom and doom here I was about to take a hiatus from this place. But just like that with two unexpected break-outs in a row box office is fun again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Eh. Great for Turtles though it looked real bad. Kinda ambivalent about the whole thing. I hope Let's Be Cops breaks out. I think that's original. Though comedies are the most "original" anyway so maybe that doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just like that with two unexpected break-outs in a row box office is fun again. The doom is coming.

John Marston Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Planet of the Apes has another 50% drop. Damn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The first 10 days of August have been really strong. There is a decent chance now that August monthly gross is more than July. I don't think that has happened anytime in recent history.Not since 1987. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Planet of the Apes has another 50% drop. Damn Yep, and I wouldn't be surprised to see GOTG drop another big drop next weekend either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 People who grew up on Turtles during the 90's have kids of their own pushing TMNT past 60 m.See Paramount, unlike Battleship, Ninja Turtles actually has a fanbase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
