I've said this before and I'll say it again, Viacom is not happy about these results.

Wow...think about it. The new film made more in its' Opening Weekend than the 2007 film did in its' entire run.

*Cure* · 08-10-2014, 08:57 PM

Yeah, someone's just in denial now. And what are those charts supposed to convey, exactly?

Bad release date and no real popular cartoon series to help awareness is to blame for that one.

I've often said, there's never been a better time to release a Ninja Turtles movie. I never expected this to flop because everything is aligned perfectly in it's favor besides the GotG competition. Comic book movies are in, the cartoon is bringing in kids, the kids discovering the franchise is reviving their parents' nostalgia, and this generation in general is very fond of nostalgia already. There was no way this was going to fail. TMNT on the other hand was trying to jump-start a dead franchise out of the blue, and that just wasn't possible with a mediocre film.

I have a feeling they will do it right this time around now that they know what people want

Aww, that's cute. Someone's confused the words fact and opinion again.

Pretty sure "poorly animated" was not the description that movie got when it came out. Hell, I watch it now and still would argue it is definitely not poorly animated.

Hopefully it's better.

M-Frame · 08-10-2014, 09:36 PM

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said the movie's plot would've been better if not for the last-minute changes, I said it probably would've appeared more (and I quote myself) "...cohesive, connected, fleshed-out...". Whether or not it would've been better isn't my point, nor does it really matter since we'll never know.

Btw I could be wrong, but wasn't the 'alien turtles' angle scrapped long before production even began???

The True Shredder · 08-10-2014, 09:42 PM

Listen everybody my opinions are the final say in this topic and I say its bad and bad for the reasons these so called "haters" have to say about this film. While i respect your OPINION know that sometimes your opinions can be wrong like this instance.

Bay claimed that but he was lying. The script was dated 2012.

Was he kidnapped or something?

Well, someone said it very well:

"Of course, Platinum Dunes has announced sequels after successful openings that either didn't happen or happened years later (Friday the 13th), so if the drop next week is massive you might see this sequel get stuck in development hell."

I guess but none of those other movies had the merchandising empire or international appeal that Turtles has.

I don't think many in China were rushing out to see Jason Voorhees. As much as I love the guy.

*CyberCubed* · 08-10-2014, 10:15 PM

A TMNT sequel will definitely happen. Let's just hope they do it right.

Maybe. A case could be made for the Friday the 13th franchise, but that completely excludes the women and kids market, and yeah, I'm not sure how much appeal the franchise has outside of America. And people didn't really care for the last one, which was kind of weird, because the entire series is terrible (sometimes in a good way) and I thought that was one of the better ones. I'm still surprised they didn't do that sequel.

Apparently it's slated for next year but who knows. I know it was rumored to be in 3D and set in winter time. That would be cool to see.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-10-2014, 10:23 PM

I thought I heard it moved to a completely different company now? Would that be a "sequel" or another "reboot", in that case?

It's so weird that franchise hasn't been relevant for most of the 2000s but we've had like 80 Paranormal Activity movies and a couple hundred Saw flicks (I might be off by a couple).

Maybe he wouldn't behave and got left home on poster photo day.

Please film folks... listen to feedback on this first one for use on the next.

Hope so. Love me some Jason, and Michael, just not Zombie's Halloween 2...
