Step up is like the Call of Duty for movie franchises and Fast and Furious is like the Assassin's creed movie franchise

Yeah but none of those movies have films that come out once a year. Usually Fast and Furious movies come out once every 2-3 years, and Step Up once every 2-3 years as well, where Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed have games that come out once a year.

youre being too kind. to both of those of those movie franchises. I watched the final dance battle of the last step it up movie on youtube, and they have officially run out of ideas, boring and lame.

as for the Fast series, the Rock cant save everything, even if movie companies think he can.

LOL, I saw the trailer for "Into the Storm" and it seems like it has a storyline of Twister (1996 film) with the mega special effects of the TV movie Category 6: Day of Destruction and/or the 2004 movie The Day After Tomorrow. I don't see how it will distinguish itself from doing anything better from those movies except for the improved special effects.

After seeing the trailer for "Step Up All In", and plot wise, it doesn't look too impressive, and the last Step Up movie (Step Up Revolution) made it into the #4 place during its debut weekend.

I don't know, their premises don't seem too fetching for an audience to take them to a #1 spot. I think TMNT will be either #1 or #2 (if "Guardians of the Galaxy" continues its second #1 week) for its debut weekend on the mere curiosity factor alone since Turtles haven't been widely promoted in the mainstream since back in the early 90s.

I think Into The Storm will make the Top 3 placing 3rd Place right behind Guardians of the Galaxy, There are people out there who liked the movie Twister and are into Weather disaster movies. I saw Twister when it first came out years ago and i thought it was fun film. Im sure Into The Storm will be the same.

With respect to the fans of Step Up, we have a similar franchise on our hands with the TMNT. They have their fans. We have ours. I'm not really worried about the movie doing bad at the B.O. or "beating" one another. Its all about making sequels. There is always going to be a Step up sequel as well as a TMNT and Transformer sequel.

Keep putting movies out and I will be in the theater eating my popcorn.

Into the Storm won't effect TMNT here in the UK as we get Into the Storm on the 22nd August, (TMNT on Oct 17th) it does look like a good film and I will go see it as I like films like that.

Not sure which film could hurt TMNT at the box office in the UK. Other films coming out the same week as TMNT are Kingsman: The Secret Service, Dolphin Tale 2, 71 and Exocism. I don't think we need to worry about these films hurting it

Dracula Untold (looks like a good film) could have hurt it (or the other way round) as it was meant to come out the same day as TMNT but they brought it forward by 2 weeks to Oct 3rd.

The week after we got Book of Life, Fury and The Judge coming out, I think one of those 3 films could knock TMNT off no 1.

But...he did save that series, or at least solidify it as a mega summer blockbuster franchise. Have you seen how much money 5 and 6 made? Come on, man.

And since you people just looooooooove Rotten Tomatoes, they're not ranked too badly, either.

ill admit, his addition was a much needed breath of fresh air. before him, the story-line was just going goofy. in fact, he quite literally, and figuratively, dwarfed the series' main draw, Vin Diesel.

my problem with that is, the Rock is everywhere now, and not that I have a problem with him, hes an exciting action star - I LOVED Rundown. But now studios are finding ways to use him, rather than focus their energies on great stories, and including him IF he fits.

case in point, GI JOE 2.
