Weekend #s June 3-5: TMNT2 35.25m, X:A 22.3m, MBY 18.27m, Alice 10.69m, Birds 9.775m

[filmlover]

TMNT is just following the trend of poorly-reviewed live-action movies based on cartoon shows falling off. For example:

 

Scooby-Doo: $153M

Scooby-Doo 2: $84M

 

Garfield: $75M

Garfield 2: $28M

 

The Smurfs: $142M

The Smurfs 2: $71M

 

And even though the second outing was a prequel, The Flintstones dropped from $130M to $35M.

Deadpool, Zootopia, BvS, Jungle Book, and Civil War sucked up all the summer movie allowance money.

 

Audiences still haven't recovered.

 

Plus, recently, RT scores aren't indicating many must see movies.

The first Tmnt largely benefitted from being the last big picture of summer 2014 and an empty August to early September. Wonder if GOTG2 might also suffer somewhat because of similar issues.

Well the difference is GOTG 2  had good wom, and is kicking off summer.

Time for dat Transformers-Ninja Turtles crossover.

The first Turtles had good legs and did well on DVD as well I believe

Nah, they'll wait a few years and reboot with an animated movie like Sony is doing with The Smurfs and WB is doing with Scooby-Doo.

Is the number for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles really that bad? The last one opened in August this one is opening in June when schools are still in. Isn't this primarily a kids movie. Arer numbers really expect it to be that big on a Thursday night?

 

100 m DOM might not happen.

 

That's pretty bad considering the first one made 180 m DOM.

 

Plus, people seem to like this one better and it's still doing way worse.

Watching The Midnight Screenings review of TMNT: Out of The Shadows. I haven't seen Brad Jones this angry since forever. LMAO!!

That's not based on a cartoon, so don't drag it into that comparison.

Paramount is fucked.

Doesn't mean people had a desire for a sequel.

? Most schools do not go back at all in August or at least in the early part of August. And yet all schools are in right now. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but there's no way Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opens up to 25 million or less.

We've been out since May 18. We go back August 10.

Dat Bumblebee Transformers movie tho, everybody is dying to see this movie, right ?

 

I can feel the hype building already ...

 

 

I kinda blame Kevin Feige to convince Hollywood executives that because your movie is derived from a known brand it s gonna make money no matter what ...

Warcraft opens in 3400+ theaters next week according to BOM.

Not his fault people took the wrong lessons from his success! Do people forget that in 2008, Marvel released one beloved movie and one blegh movie. The well-liked one was a giant hit and the other one flopped.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I thought TMNT would do a little bigger than the first one. Summer 2016 is turning into a dull one. Next on list to disappoint is Warcraft.

I am not sure how that works with Megan Fox having a character in each franchise

Spoiler

but in a Halloween (?) party in TMNT2 a kid is dressed of a Transformers. Like, he is a car and turns into Bumblebee and Michael Angelo talks to him. So they have to exist in the same world, right?

So there is only one winner this weekend:
