Paramount Moves ‘TMNT’ To August 8, 2014

[TigerClaw]

What Paramount is doing is a smart move, They have two of the biggest properties in there hands and they dont want both clashing with each other. Seperating the release dates for both gives both franchises plenty of time to catch its audience. When you think about it, Transformers and TMNT attract the same audience. Those who grew up watching the original shows in the 80s, Who are all grown up and have kids, So they will take there kids to see these movies.

Just means it'll suck in August instead of June.

That can't be done in a month. If it was being converted, I think we would've heard about it already.

True, Sometimes a studio would push back a release date to announce the movie being converted to 3D, Which they haven't for this. But you never know.

They couldn't even begin to reverse engineer the 3D element until Paramount is done with all the CGI on the motion-capture Turtles... and you can bet they'd be working on that and fine-tuning that until pretty much the last minute.

Ironic that the Nick TMNT "movie" debuted on 8-8.

That's about the only interesting thing about this, though.

Maybe they hope to accomplish the same thing the Transformers film did back in 2007. Bring a ton of fans back to the franchise, and make a crap ton of money. Genius.

Maybe they'll do another Booyaka-Movie for Season 2 on August 8th....it'll be a TMNT entourage!

(Hopefully not cause I can't stand Season 1's scheduling again....)

OMG THIS IS MY BIRTHDAY. EVEN IF THE MOVIE SUCKS THIS WILL BE AWESOME.

Yes, that needs to be in all caps.

I dunno, I'd be pissed if a TMNT movie that ended up being ghastly dropped right on my birthday.

I bet if Michael Bay said the turtles would sporting all red bandanas, you would be totally behind this film.

Aw, this kinda blows. June 6th was the day right before my birthday, I was pretty stoked to go see it to celebrate since it's not like I'll be doing much else (the thrills of having friends who have all moved across the country). Guess no turtle birthday for me this year.

That is disappointing that we have to wait a little longer. I did not know that Transformers 4 was coming out in the summer of next year. Has that one even started filming? I thought November. I understand not wanting its two tent poles to not run into nor another but why not push Transformers back ot mid July and not have Ninja Turtles be the one to have to be moved?

[chrisdude]

It's disappointing, but the reasoning is fair. I can't really complain...

[Donatello19]

Like others have said, it's just two months...and besides, no other big movies will premiere in August anyway, so it doesn't have to worry about competition.

Transformers has been filming for quite some time now.

Come to think of it... Why is Transformers coming out first, when TMNT just wrapped? T4 surely won't be a faster movie to make. Doesn't that mean TMNT is gonna be finished and sitting a shelf by the time Transformers comes out?

I guess Transformers has proven that it deserves the best weekend possible, but still...

[NYShell]

I fear for the success of this movie. I think it's good TMNT won't have much competition but Guardians (don't know anything about that franchise so I won't say anything) Still wish TMNT had the summer blockbuster spot TF took. I hope TMNT gets a lot of exposure.

Probably cause it takes a while to render realistic looking Turtles more then giant robots?

I kinda think it actually might be faster to make. They already have the tools ready to create giant robots, computers are faster, and they have done it three times now.
