Where did Micheal Bay go wrong. I was sure this would be bigger than the original. Perhaps the new series is dead?

Edit: I can't edit the topic but I meant that the movie is making a little more than half of what the original movie made.

You could of put this in the Box Office Thread and anyway it's pretty old news as we have been discussing it.

But I wanna know what Micheal Bay did wrong. I thought there was a lot of hype for this movie.

Fatigue with this year's blockbusters is setting in, not to mention there's not much goodwill carrying over from the last one.

Screwed up on the first. Make the first too flawed or not as good as you tried to make them believe and the casual movie goer, who has to consider what to spend their money on (or not), may not trust you to come through next time. (Or hardcore fans for that matter.)

Who knows... maybe many are just holding off to see what others are saying first.

You mean aside from everything?

The guy's a hack who only thinks he's great cause his films make a lot of money.

At this rate, it may be lucky to outgross the 2007 Imagi film!

One thing that confuses me is the Yahoo! headline for today, which claims the movie has made $65.6 million.

Is that just a typo or would it be a global estimate?

Here's the article, which puts the global haul at $69.3 million:

Not a good time for the Shredder is it, Frozen in the movie, killed in the IDW comic and injured is in Nicktoon.

It says right in the article that 69.3 is the global haul. That's what they get for making the turtles too human. People don't want that.

*IndigoErth* · 06-05-2016, 02:56 PM

Doing it as RP does not un-spoiler a spoiler... Minor as it may be.

Well, if anything, someone at Yahoo likes the Turtles enough to use the global earnings to make it sound bigger, I guess. Though it's not like only U.S. money counts. Not sure why so much is invested in opening weekends anyhow. A lot of people prefer to skip the crowd and may show up later.

But 69.3 does not equal 65.6, so I'm wondering where the discrepancy comes from if they are supposed to be the same figure. Nothing on Yahoo! surprises me anymore.

MathUser · 06-05-2016, 03:54 PM

Can someone edit my topic title to say little more than half of what the original made? Seems there's been a mistake.

It was just a typo. $65.6 was the opening for the 2014 film.
