So is it safe to say the movie won't even crack 70m domestic? We're pretty much in the last week or two its staying in theaters, right?

[JTH]

It'll make 70, not much more than that though.

[NinjaPug]

So after 11 days of release it is still $3 million behind the previous movie's opening weekend.

Curious to see how it does in China.

Does this mean there's hope for there not being a third one?


I might actually cry tears of joy.

Anything's possible. But considering how badly this is underperforming and the possibility it won't even be profitable in the end? Unless you've got some killer insider information, that's a lot of optimism. I suppose it depends how much Bay is invested in seeing this version of the franchise persist and if his clout at Paramount is enough for them to risk losing more money.

Maybe a bit apples-and-oranges, but we've seen a couple of Platinum Dunes horror reboots underperform (though not as badly as this) only to be re-rebooted in response.

By the way, Finding Dory is predicted to make $100-115 million on its opening weekend, so expect BayTurtles 2 to be one of several movies absolutely buried in its wake.

Without any doubt it will be suffocated. Nemo 2 is going to be enormous.

Dude, don't touch that! It might be contagious.

Don't you dare come near me until you've taken a hot shower.

Here's a new interview with Brad Fuller talking about TMNT 2, I think he makes an exellent point about it.

“There’s nothing that we can do to keep them from complaining. There’s always an element of the audience that feels that we have not struck that balance. It’s a hard thing to do, and it’s [harder] on a turtle movie than it is on Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street. The reason is that with [the] turtles there are so many different source materials that we draw from – the comic books, the cartoons, and the movies – and the challenging thing is that each audience member brings their turtle knowledge to the movie, but not every person has the same knowledge.

So there are people who will come to our movie and have only read the comics, and they’ll have one response, whereas people…who love the cartoon will love our film, because that tonally matches the cartoon. And there are people who saw the [90’s] films and they’re coming to it that way, so it’s a challenge to balance those three source materials.

The thing that we do to try and really decipher what the best story is, we keep Kevin Eastman involved in the process of development, and Kevin created the turtles with Peter Laird. I feel like if he’s there and he gives us the thumbs up with our story and the thumbs up with our villains, that we’re – y’know? If the creator is telling us that it can work, then we go with it; if he says ‘well, I think you’re deviating a little far here, let’s pull it back,’ we do that. So these, kind of, are good checks and balances to have.”

There's nothing "excellent" about this. He's just making weak excuses.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

My understanding is that Kevin was basically uninvolved in this film, but perhaps I'm confused.
