Most movies were up a bit last night, too.

By the end of this week the movie should be at around 130$-120$ million domestically. I think it will stop at around 150$ million on that side once it leaves all the theaters it's in.

Worldwide:$108,515,360 as of Tuesday Aug 12th 2014

Variety predicts that the film might be #1 again in its second weekend.

Lifting the overall box office are a pair of heavyweights. In its second week, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” should see its $64.5 million debut cut nearly in half, but will still likely be the weekend’s top grosser with more than $30 million.

They've got another franchise, which is something all studios want. It will never be a Transformers-size franchise (in terms of box-office gross), but it will be strong nonetheless.

At first I was thinking to myself that TMNT had to be Transformers big to be successful to the studios. I am happy this is not the case and that the makers of the new TMNT movie are happy with its success so far.

Ever since movies started making 1 Billion at the box office, I was thinking to myself I guess studios wont be happy unless there big Blockbuster makes $800 million min world wide.

I don't know why I started thinking like this, but I think I should stop caring so much about how much a movie makes at the BO, because at the end of the day it really does not effect my life in anyway.

That's interesting considering the Expendables 3 is rated PG-13, Which means more people can see it, But at the same time, Alienate the fans who were hoping for, Another R rated action movie like the previous films.

Half? No way. No freaking way. More like a 60 to 70 percent decrease this weekend. It's probably going to be making no more than max 30 million, but I am seeing more around 26 million this upcoming weekend.

Guardians of the Galaxy made $4.85m last night. The gap seems to keep tightening. It'll be interesting to see if this trend continues into the weekend.

Predictions from Entertainment Weekly:

In what just as easily could have been a box office showdown from 1990, Sylvester Stallone and his buddies face off against the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at theaters this weekend. And even though The Expendables 3 boasts a star-studded action hero cast of a just-bygone era, the Turtles might still win out.

The long-gestating adaptation of The Giver opens wide as well, playing alongside the buddy comedy Let’s Be Cops, which hit theaters on Wednesday. Indie darling Boyhood expands to just under 800 theaters, too.
Here’s how things might play out on this late summer weekend.

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — $27 million
The Turtles might just hold on to the No. 1 spot after opening to a much higher-than-expected $65.6 million last weekend. A 58 percent drop, a little steeper than Guardians‘ second week fall, would put the pic in the $27 million range.

2. The Expendables 3 — $25 million
Lionsgate debuts the third installment in Sylvester Stallone’s testosterone-filled franchise in 3,221 North American locations Friday, and tracking puts it in the $20 to $25 million range. This latest take pits Barney (Stallone) and Christmas (Statham) against Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson), an Expendables co-founder gone bad whom Barney assumed he already killed. Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Antonio Banderas, Jet Li, Wesley Snipes, Dolph Lundgren, Kelsey Grammer, Ronda Rousey, and Terry Crews also star in the pic, which currently has a 30 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. But the biggest strike against this one is the fact that it leaked online in advance of its theatrical debut—suggesting that the most eager fans, who helped The Expendables and its sequel open to $34.8 million and $28.6 million, respectively, might not be interested in heading back to the theaters for this one.

thats not bad

[The Stryker]

So if Guardians overtakes Turtles this weekend no matter by how much. How big do you think the collective internet orgasm will be in this thread and the Guardians thread?

An awesome movie overtaking a horrible movie isn't that surprising. Word of mouth is gonna kill this quickly. The ONLy thing going for this is the nostalgia or the ones either curious enough to see how bad it is or being in denial that it just can't be that bad and are anxious to see for themselves.

I don't really understand why GotG always comes up. It was released a week apart from TMNT. Great, it gets a cookie.

It comes up because it's TMNT's main competition, it was released a week earlier, and they're basically neck-and-neck at the box office at this point. (Also, it's great! Also that.)

But since it was brought up, it made $4.23m last night to TMNT's $4.32m.

I'm just curious to see how the weekend plays out. They're both doing well, but the fact that GotG actually has a chance to overtake TMNT in its third week (or come damn close) is impressive. This kind of situation playing out in an August is pretty unusual, I think?

That's sorta my issue too.

Not saying it's definitely the case but I get the vibe that people are seriously 'choosing sides' over movies. To the point where people believe there is a good and bad side to it and they're doing the right thing by backing a particular film. It's like...come on. It's movies. Calm down. The world isn't hanging in the balance here.
