Weekend numbers thread:TMNT: 28.4 GOTG: 24.7 LBC. 17.7 Ex3: 16.2

[miketheavenger]

Hate to tell you all this, but I knew Titanic would have a 20 multiplier and become the biggest grossing film of all time.

And I knew from the beginning that Avatar would beat that record.

why isn't BOM posting EX3 overseas numbers at all? 

 

Multiple companies are distributing EX3 overseas so it's going to take a few days to get all the data in.

Pirate movies had had a history of flopping in the previous 20 years (The Pirate Movie, The Pirates of Penzance, Pirates, Cutthroat Island), and the idea of a movie based on a theme park ride was seen by some as crass, naked commercialism (a la Battleship a decade later). And Disney's own The Country Bears had flopped the previous year. I do vaguely recall that there was a lot of caution from observers going in - but I was in high school and not as in tune with film buzz then.Of course, GA was unaware/not influenced by any of that, they turned out to love it. (As did I.)

 

I never thought beforehand that it will be a good movie (I thought it would be a not good movie), just that it has a potential to be a very financial successful movie as so many knew it via the Theme Parks (in Europe it's in Paris) and the reactions of younger kids.

 

I have 6 nephews, one great-niece and one adult son. And friends with kids and grand-kids...

We went sometimes/seldom for a birthday ~ party all together into a cinema

 

=> trailer, something like that in my language

=> torture by the young ones till we agree to go watch it

=> too many different interests, back-ground => still they reacted the same way

=> still I didn't watch it at the opening weekend (what I try to avoid mostly anyway)

 

Not saying it would have been SURE it will be a hit, but it didn't surprise me neither. I think if the movie would have gotten harsh critics... especially in a case like this a bad WOM => it could also have bombed big time

She's everywhere. From BadassDigest to THR's comments section where she amazingly managed to bring up Peter Jackson in a discussion about E3's weekend gross.

 

Ok how did she make a connection between Peter Jackson and EX 3?

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES took in $28.52M this weekend. Domestic total now stands at $117.77M. #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles #TMNT

 

Jesus Christ, Baumer.  TMNT only beat GotG by $3.4M.  Didn't you say it would beat by $3.5M?  I expect a little more precision next time.

"They shoudn't have Peter Jackson'd Expendables' ultra thin premise into 3 movies. That's the basic of the series' downfall. Everything else is cosmetic."

Damn as I've said before, if it wasn't for the theater loss GotG would have had a sub 40 drop. Still a great number.And EX3. Well that's just
