terrestrial Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Isn't most of that from the pre-views similar to cinemascore? TMNT haas later pre-screenings thus a higher ratio of older audiences because of how late it was. It's why it had Maleficent type preview numbers and weekend numbers, it played to children. I think it was about the release weekend. In preparation for the upcoming number - percentages comparison... for the ones who might have forgotten it: CA 2 had at its 3rd weekend the Eastern holidays => starting a couple of days before the percentages seem to be a bit out of whack (and later on a few regional ones) In a way a bit interesting (to me), Godzilla had a '11th day' Monday holiday, CA 2 eastern, X-Men's first Monday too, Transformers had after 1 week a Thursday one ... => 4 out of over $90m openers had a little help within the first 2 weeks ASM 2 got a little late and so not that a big jump at Memorial Day (again a Monday) at it's 25th day of release GotG & TMNT have to wait for Labor day to get a little push, at it's 32th day of release for GotG and 7 days less for TMNT => really curious about those 2 movies percentage at Labor Day...

mahnamahna Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) It does seem like the one-two punch of GOTG and Turtles are giving families a good dose of entertainment this summer. Because it really did seem like pickings were a bit slim for that demographic since May, HTTYD/Planes/etc. just not looking appealing for the demo. Am I wrong on that? Nope. Once again, Hollywood has shown they either schedule too many big movies or too little one year, 7 kids movies in a single summer (2010, 2013). the next year? 2 (Maleficent, HTTYD2 for 2014 - Earth to Echo and Planes 2 are meh). We have 11 comedies next summer - half of which are aiming for the same R rated demo (Spy, Entourage, Ted 2, Trainwreck, Grimsby). Seriously, who thought leaving nearly two months between kids/family movies was a good idea? HTTYD2 2 weeks after Maleficent? When the July 4th weekend was wide-open for a kids movie to sweep in the big bucks like DM2 last year? TMNT and Maleficent are sadly going to be the highest grossing kids movies of this summer (guessing $185 million for TMNT and $240 million for Maleficent) while HTTYD2 gets $170 million and quietly fades away.

Ryan Reynolds Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 +13% increase is good for TMNT, GIJOE 1 decreased by 7% on Tuesday, this might make 175m+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 +13% increase is good for TMNT, GIJOE 1 decreased by 7% on Tuesday, this might make 175m+ Considering the lack of kiddie competition for the rest of August, 175 million-200 million might just happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Guardians will be around $220m by the end of next weekend, and it should make at least $275m for its final total. This is the first time in recorded box office history that a film from August won the the summer. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I wasn't a big fan of Lucy to be honest, but I'm really happy it was able to cross the milestone. I think 175 is the goal for turtles, and 285 for Guardians. I hope Into the Storm can crawl to 50, as I quite enjoyed it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Reynolds Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) even if TMNT drops 60% this weekend like Captain America 1, that did over 175m also with similar opening Edited August 13, 2014 by Ryan Reynolds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GotG - $290 million TMNT - $185 million Let's Be Cops - $140 million Hard to believe 3 August releases could each do that well at the same time. Then again, Bourne Ultimatum, rush Hour 3 and Superbad all did remarkable well, too and also very similar.

TalismanRing Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Highest by quite a bit Aside from GOTG only Trans4 was released mid summer with all school out so weekdays are not really comparable. (DOFP developed late legs with the help of full school out summer days) More telling and impressive is the week to week drop.
