TServo2049 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Even adjusted for inflation, GOTG is the 5th biggest non-opener (and second biggest non-opener of the 21st century, and third biggest non-opener of the last 20 years).And I just realized that both of the other biggest non-openers were Disney, too.

#ED Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Also that its like a mini Avengers film. Meaning it was the crowd pleasing film of the summer handily.By default. Turtles also took advantage. There were no big movies after TNMT. Bunch of duds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartonfink Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I am going to cry when Ninja Turtles passes Dragon 2 domestically. Please, American moviegoers, do not make me cry. Why do you cry about that? Such a weird concern. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I sorta kinda want the previous lowest grossing #1 for a weekend (Jerry Maguire, $5,518,727 in its seventh weekend, January 24-26, 1997) to fall just for shits and giggles. Either over 10M or under that. No in between please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 TMNT was like TF1. The whole angle with Megan Fox interacting with the turtles was quite appealing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpospoke Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The Norse stories however are intermixes of culture and fantasy. Marvel's Thor is science fantasy with mythological elements (mythology being an intermixing of historicity/culture and fantasy.)Honestly, id consider any dead religion to no longer be a religion but a mixing of fantasy and ancient culture. I agree...but I don't live in Germany. They might see it completely differently. Anchorman 2 waited the same amount of time and it increased from the first in admissions. Granted, it didn't increase anywhere near as much as people thought it would, but--actually, that just shows that even a film that maintained a sizable following over such a long gap has an uphill battle to expand as anemically as AM2 did (without the Christmas break it could have even dropped in ticket sales).Harvey...stop greenlighting sequels to 6+ year old movies. It didn't work for Scream 4 or Spy Kids 4 or Scary Movie 5 or Sin City 2. (Actually, I think Dimension has now run out of franchises to belatedly continue. Unless they somehow get Rob Zombie back to do a Halloween III rather than just re-rebooting the franchise...) Time to start placing bets on how much the Dumb and Dumber sequel will underperform.

kitik Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I saw three new movies last week: Lucy on Tuesday, and then TMNT and Sin City yesterday. All three were decent to good, but none were truly great. Probably enjoyed Lucy the most. Sin City felt like a clear step down from the first. TMNT was fun and entertaining, but somewhat substandard in parts. Needed more jokes and fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I saw Sex Tape on Friday. It's not very good. But I chuckled two times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I saw Sex Tape on Friday. It's not very good. But I chuckled two times. I'm usually tempted or at least partially interested to go see most new movies. I'm usually pretty easily entertained. And while I'm sure I'd chuckle once or twice during Sex Tape, I just really have zero interest in seeing that movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw it because nothing else was showing that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I agree...but I don't live in Germany. They might see it completely differently. It's not only Germany and not all will see it the same way (as never 'all' are agreeing to anything ). Only bcs I am not sure if it is still in the awareness after some pages here; I said not all German viewers were even aware about it being a Marvel movie after watching the movie, a lot of people here never read Marvel comics or do even know about a lot or all of the comic characters => they might not have even watched the movie knowing about the Marvel comics (I do know at least a few who were quite shocked as they learned it later on by me and heard such reactions after the cinema visit, see earlier post) If interested read up on 'Edda', why Christians use Christmas trees, and Germanic neopaganism and....
