Audiences were more than willing to accept a new Spider-Man almost no time after ASM 2.

He had the unbelievable huge goodwill of the Marvel movies behind him, but they still did.

Give the Turtles to people who'll do right by them, and audiences will follow.

I don't believe in comic book movie fatigue, every now and then the audience becomes very fussy towards comic book movies. A lot of movie genres live on despite the lack of above average box office numbers.

Remember, Expendables 3 bombed in theatres, but they are still making a 4 for theatres.

I can't believe, even objectively, in any kind of good conscience that this "film"'s under-performance has anything to do with "CBM fatigue." 99.9% of the lemmings this is targeted at don't even have any idea there was even originally a TMNT comic.

"Experts" and TheWrap's opinion vs the loss of a lot of money.

I guess we'll see which one wins.

I'm sure they will. What's more familiar with them might attract them more. Hell, it's happened to Spider-Man twice now.

Yep, Spider-Man is a brand with a lot of staying power, also a major part of pop culture, and so are the TMNT.

I can't imagine they make much off of merchandising from these movies.

Have you walked through a Target or Walmart lately? Even a small portion of all of that is probably a lot of money.

True.

*Bry* · 06-06-2016, 11:03 AM

I could be way off here, but I thought I remember hearing talk a couple years back that the first movie's toys and merchandise didn't sell particularly well?

That said, I'm sure this movie's lucrative product placement deals took some of the edge off of the disappointing box office returns -- just like relaxing in your comfy and affordable H&M® clothes with a tasty can of Orange Crush® while enjoying the fun and convenience of the Apple® iPad™.

Expendable 3 did poorly domestically but it's internationally it managed to make seven times it's budget, that is an incredible profit.

Not really, when you consider what low % of international dollars the studio actually gets in return. Or distribution costs, or the marketing budget.

I took it yesterday at Wal-Mart and posted it to my wall, without comment.

Forbes is already predicting that OftS may serve as a precedent for Justice League and the dreaded "Tomb Raider Trap."

I stopped reading at this: "The second Platinum Dunes-produced TMNT reboot is everything we wanted the first film to be."

*CyberCubed* · 06-06-2016, 11:39 AM

I'm going to say they'll still squeeze out a third and final movie in his Bay universe before they call it quits.
