Has Guardians of the Galaxy already won August

[TMNTChris1980]

The trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy was released this week, and WOW! My facebook feed was exploding with the people sharing the trailer. People who had no idea what it was until the trailer was released were talking about it too.

The fact that the trailer was launched on Jimmy Kimmel also brought in a huge hype factor.

So with all that...

Did Guardians of the Galaxy just win the month of August, and is this another nail in the TMNT 2014 movie coffin?

I hope so. This movie will hopefully kill the TMNT movie dead .

Never have I wanted a TMNT property to bomb so bad.

Afraid it's a big possibility that Guardians will outshine TMNT.

As much as I negatively critique what we've seen as of this date, I still hope the movie will reel in enough to make more stuff that I can enjoy. Just what the TF movies did.

I mean we haven't even had a tmnt trailer. It could bring a big boom for sure, you can't really say until August, especially not until the tmnt trailer. But it could in the end and I think it's a big possibility.

You should hope Turtles bombs so the next movie is a proper reboot.

[TrickOrTreater]

It's definitely a possibility.

A lot of positive buzz about this new trailer(and well earned, it looks awesome).

TMNT's main competition stepped up to the plate and hit a home run.

It's their move to give us something. Anything.

it looks pretty good, but i wouldnt count it as #1 yet. the GotG comic didnt do as strong as they hoped. i liked it and i think it will translate well into a movie, but the general mavel fanbase didnt seem to grab onto it much.

which will what, possibly take a decade?

I'm a patient person, but really. This movie isn't for me, never will be with it's direction. And I'm okay with it cause we still have decent quality stuff.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

It's certainly possibly. Granted, social media chatter doesn't always translate into box office $$$, but at the very least, it has people talking and most of what is being said is very positive.

i'll probably see it like, twice. so yeah i think so

Nope. Two factors 1. Turtles are better known plus the kids factor(and older fans going to see it despite fan boy internet whining) and 2. Let's be real here the turtles trailer could be 30 seconds and as long the turtles look good design wise and look good fighting while having some cool banter among the turtles people will go Guardians of the who or what again?

I'm tempted....

Without reading a single post in this thread, my answer to the question posed in the thread title is:

Yes.

[The Fifth Turtle]

I sure the hell hope GOTG does not win August. Will I see it? Yeah probably but I hope the turtles come out on top.

TMNT all the way baby

[ranger_scout]

I imagine that Guardians of the Galaxy will take a steep drop in its second weekend. Many superhero type films have been known take huge drops in their second weekend if they have competition or bad word of mouth. Perfect examples are Hulk, Green Lantern, Man of Steel, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

I think maybe some of us have hype confused with amount of advertising.

My friends are probably all going to see Guardians. I played the new trailer at Mario Kart get-together, and out of the six people other than myself (mid to late 20's men and women), only one gave a fraction of a damn. (But that one is excited.) And people straight up laughed when they saw Megan Fox was April. Then the conversation shifted to how April needs a yellow jumpsuit...

I don't remember the point I was trying to make...

I bet in real life, Donnie from Nick wouldn't care.

The thread poses a reasonable subject for discussion. It was just posted about five months too early.
