The Panda Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Nope. It won't. Face it, the jumps will be bigger today for Turtles than they will for GOTG. It will have a much bigger Saturday too.Be prepared to be wrong again, like you have been this entire week. Guardians has been holding better than Turtles each day, there's no reason for it to stop now.What's also funny is earlier this year the most common predictions for the top comic book movies were1.Spidey 22.X-Men: DOFP3.Cap 24.GotgAnd it's going to be the exact opposite now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree with Baumer that Turtles will get better jump than GOTG on Friday. I see 80% for TMNT and GOTG around 70%. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have I been wrong about anything this week or about Turtles for that matter? I am wrong about plenty of things, no doubt. But what did do wrong this week? And my prediction about Spidey was bang on this year, as was my prediction about X-men and Apes. Didn't make one that i can recall for Cap and GotG i bombed on no doubt.

(The comic book movie part)But you have continually overestimated turtles this week, just like you said there wouldn't be a chance for Guardians to catch Turtles and well it just kind of did today.

baumer Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 ASM: Baumer - $236M The Panda - $225M DOFP: Baumer - $239M The Panda - $215M Apes: Baumer - $236M The Panda - $220M GOTG: The Panda - $170M baumer: 140 So we are not too far apart in our predictions.

(The comic book movie part)But you have continually overestimated turtles this week, just like you said there wouldn't be a chance for Guardians to catch Turtles and well it just kind of did today. I did not overestimate Turtles at all this week. Sorry dude, not sure what you are talking about. The only predictions I made this week, actually came pretty close. I said Turtles would go up by 10-12% on Tuesday and fall 27-30% on Weds. And you can go back to the Monday thread for proof. Where are your predictions for Turtles this week?

I remember distinctly you saying there wasn't a chance for that to happen. And there isn't. It hasn't happened yet and it won't happen this weekend. Even if Turtles were to fall 60%, GOTG is not going to make more than it this weekend. So where am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Turtles were to fall 60%, GOTG is not going to make more than it this weekend. So where am I wrong?How? All GOTG is a bigger Friday increase (which is likely given how dailies have gone) and it wins. It's also still summer, Turtles plays more towards families thus it should have a smaller Friday increases than if it weren't summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both play more towards families and Turtles is not getting the bad WOM so many of you say it is. For it to drop north of 60% makes no sense. My prediction is it will drop 55-58%. GOTG will drop about 40-43%. Easy win for Turtles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I agree with Baumer. Still see GOTG pulling in around $22-24, TMNT bringing in $25-27. Should be good numbers for both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Baumer - I will be very surprised if TMNT does 80% - this is the very argument that you were vehemently against last weekend with Guardians. You can't expect the only best case to be the one that it follows when there is no precedent for it. I am using your argument here bro. And you know me - we agree more often than not and have for years, I just think you are allowing your dislike of Guardians to color everything you are talking about TMNT wise. *caviat - TMNT will still win the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
