[Sighphi]

In two years? Well, that shows how much work it goes into these movies.

This is going to be like Transformers all over again.

I believe this poster was made by Imagi as a gift for Mirage Studios. It was a gesture to show how eager they were to be signed on for a sequel. Unfortunately, the studio closed down soon afterwards.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm bathing in the tears of the whiners and I feel myself getting younger! Hype!

That would've been a fun premise. Too bad the '07 movie flopped.

My memory about it is fuzzy but I think you're correct.

It didn't flop. It just didn't perform well enough for a sequel. It was still a financial success.

Just read they are using the same writers. Well, Im sure they can improve with the sequel without, all the stuff that happened with the 1st film while they were making it.

Ninja Turtles is still very relevant and the fanbase is huge (and not just made up of those who post here). The brand itself still holds a lot of weight. The general audience was always going to turn up to this film.

Exactly.. So many folks frequented THIS sub forum on a daily basis literally just to trash and slander this movie. Everyday it was a different reason for why this movie would fail. EVERY REASON IN THE BOOK for why this movie would fail. Every geek site.. Every article, Every comment section.. This movie and it's production stood it's ground and kept on moving forward against all odds. So many people passionate and committed to it's failure. Nothing taste better than this. NOTHING! This movie will succeed in SPITE of everyone that made it their everyday duty trying to bury it in negativity.

As a TMNT fan.. with an AWESOME Nick show.. an awesome comic, an awesome documentary and history book, and now TMNT is number 1 at the box office with a sequel announced for 2016. I am the happiest fan in the world right now. What better way to celebrate 30 years of TMNT!

Spoiler:

Now watch the same folks start the same " This one is going to fail and here are a billion reasons" rhetoric the second the film is announced They are already starting with the same Marvel ******** all over again. Sad.

This is how it usually breaks down.
1st two weeks, the studios will get roughly 80 to 90 percent of the BO, the rest goes to the theaters who are playing it. The next week, the percentage drops some more, 70% to 80% goes to the studios in it's 3rd week, the rest goes to the theaters. The cycle will continue until about the first month in, then the split is usually even. Now, the reason why domestic markets are more important than the foreign markets, is because OS, the percentage of what the studios get back is a hell of a lot less. In China, as much money as Transformers makes there, they will only get back 20% of the gross, the Chinese government keeps the rest. This is why often, you see movies perform bad at the domestic front, but blow up OS, enough to cover it's production costs and then some, it still won't get greenlit for a sequel. But, that's why, the studios aren't seeing that money unless it's getting into the 700 to 800 WW scenario.


And then, there is also this to consider, like any big budget project, most of it is financed, so, not only does the studio have to pay back the loans, they also have to pay back the interest on the loans. And there is also the possibility that several of the key players, like producers, directors, the main actors, script writers, will also get a cut in something known as royalties.

This sequel talk, I will take with a grain of salt. Just look at the past folks. Weren't we in the same boat back in 2007 when that movie came out number one at the BO? I swore Munroe was claiming, sequel time, and it never got off the ground, despite a poster for it and everything. Heck, look at this year's Amazing Spider-Man, they had all of these plans with spin offs and whatnot, but despite the movie still being a success, it underperformed in the long run (no legs) so it looks like the studio execs are panicking like crazy over at Sony due to their initial plans might be squashed.



It wasn't so much the nostrils, but the protruding noses on Raph and Mikey that were awful. If they rounded them more like Donny's and Leo's, then it wouldn't look so bad. But right now, Raph's looked shiny and gross, like he had boogies coming out.

Damn, its no wonder Hollywood worries about the BO as much as they do. Thank You for explaining this I have learned a lot. for years I always went by if the movie made more then its budget that it made a profit, that's obviously not case, as I thought it once to be.

Awesome! Great news.. Next time I want a better story.. definitely Casey.. and Baxter Stockman to have a much bigger role, if not Rocksteady/Bebop or Krang/Dimension X

Wonderful! cant wait! i love this movie and it left me wanting more!!

In case no one saw it, here's what Paramount chairman and CEO Brad Grey said in Entertainment Weekly.

“To know moviegoers are embracing the Turtles with such enthusiasm is everything that we and all our filmmakers have been hoping for,” said Paramount chairman and CEO Brad Grey in a statement. “We are thrilled with this weekend’s result, the enduring power of this franchise, and the opportunity to make another one.”

“Launching a new take on the Turtles into the feature film world was a daunting task,” added Adam Goodman, president of Paramount’s Film Group, “because as fans of them ourselves, we felt a great responsibility to ensure audiences were going to experience everything they loved about the Turtles, while also getting to see them brought to life in a way they had never been seen before. The result exceeded our high expectations and the response to the film is beyond great, making it all the more fun to get started on the continuation of their story.”

I bet they cut the production budget down to $100 million or less.

PD knows you'll still see the movie no matter what so they'll keep cutting corners and shelling out crap until people stop allowing them to do so.

Considering how much money was probably wasted by the constant rewrites, reshoots, and delays, they could probably do that and still wind up with a film that looks like it had a much bigger budget.

Devin over at Baddass Digest always makes me laugh:

“@devincf: TMNT 2: Even We Can't Believe You Came To See This Crap”

“@devincf: TMNT 2: A Fool And His Money”

“@devincf: In TMNT 2 the Triceratons will be guys in Transformer armor with horns on their heads.”

Chalk up another victory for people with absolutely zero taste whatsoever.

They're gonna need to shut this whole place down, based on what it's been like the last 4 months. TMNT fans are f*cking obnoxious. I can't believe I only realized that recently.

Ok, after reading this comment you now sound like a very unpleasant guy, one who takes himself way too seriously.

[IndigoErth]

Ok... now how do we start voicing wishes for this? Not big stuff in terms of telling them what to write, but just important things we'd like to see done slightly differently that affect the whole thing.. Pacing (slow down a bit please), get Pete in for Leo's voice (please give Leo a bit more heart and not stuck in 'tough guy' mode nearly the whole time), etc.

While I'd been iffy on this film and I'm stuck in limbo of having enjoyed it reasonably enough however feeling a little empty on some aspects... I have to admit I'd like to see a sequel happen IF they can put more character development into the guys and let a second one patch up what my heart feels was missing this first time around.

And after reading a few other people's comments, a lot of people sound like they'd swallow absolutely anything with a TMNT sticker on it, even if it was garbage.

Generalizations are fun, aren't they?
