MEH-MORIAL DAY WEEKEND BOX OFFICE | Abandon all hope, the box office is dead. 3 day weekend #s X-Men 65M, Alice 28.1M, Angry Birds 18.7M, Civil War 15.1M, Neighbors 9.1M. Bad openings, horrible holdovers.

@a2knet I think you've lost your bet with @No Prisoners, Civil will likely fall short of IM3. TMNT2 opening next week will give it the final blow I think.

Could Apocalypse make under 500M WW? Overseas will like show drops. It it is 350-360 OS and under 150 domestic, then it seems possible.

Has TMNT become the new transformers?

 

The first one was damn horrible. Even BvS had a more audience and critic ratings than TMNT.

Poor Dark Horse Comics, always unfairly neglected.

It is not a CBM movie. Nobody will create the same discussions it happen when a Marvel or DC movie open lol.

9 out of 10 people wouldn't refer to it as a CBM. We all know it from the cartoon.

 

Without a doubt, the cartoon is much more famous and influential than the comics in the case of TMNT (as opposed to something like X-Men or Batman, which had hit cartoons, but are still primarily known as comic books).

 

But this isn't some matter that's up for debate or worthy of an opinion poll. It's a simple FACT. TMNT is a CBM. Fact. By definition. CBM's are defined as properties that originated as comic books.

 

9 out of 10 people might have no idea that it's a CBM, but that doesn't change the fact that it is.

 

Ghost World is a CBM. Timecop is a CBM. A History of Violence is a CBM. Tank Girl is a CBM. CBM's don't have to be superhero movies. They're two different terms.

One difference: It actually had good legs.

 

It seems like the kind of movie that's criticproof.

I watched the first one on TV. I thought it alright. Just a messy lighthearted adventure film for the kids. Not great, but serviceable.

Lawd, to think that there was one point in time where Hollywood tried to pass Lori Petty off as sexy.

If Josie and the Pussycats came out today how many people would lose their minds over it being called a CBM?

 

And they are best known from the comic!

Smh.

 

I hope it flops. The new TMNT movies are nothing but an insult.

I wont lie to you, most films tend to have better dialogue and acting than The Original Trilogy.

 

And yet the Original Trilogy is better than the Prequels in that regard.

As in no matter how the movie is critically panned they still make movies to get the $$$.

Right? I feel like I'm talking to Comic Book Guy: "Well, ACTUALLY Turtles started out as a comic book HENCE it is officially a CBM regardless of your obvious meaning."

 

Seriously? Screw both of you.  You can't say one thing and then say I'm stupid for not knowing that you meant something completely different.

Seriously? When you typed CBM's, you actually meant to say "idiotic superhero threads"? And I'm stupid for not knowing that TMNT isn't a "Marvel v DC thread"?

Let me rephrase my original statement for you guys: "I'm looking forward to the next two months before Suicide Squad as that is the next superhero movie."

 

That work?

 

 

well yes, since that actually means something completely different, then yes, that makes a lot more sense,

thank you
