Krang will be a talking testicle in a giant dick ship. Bebop and Rocksteady will be two German bodybuilders who wear gimp masks made to resemble a rhino and a warthog, and both will possess the power to fart explosions.

Does anyone know why a movie needs to make twice its budget to break even? In the rest of the world to break even you only need to earn back the money you spent, not twice the amount you spent. It does not make logical sense anyone care to explain?

That's because the studio isn't getting all of that money.
This is how it usually breaks down.
1st two weeks, the studios will get roughly 80 to 90 percent of the BO, the rest goes to the theaters who are playing it. The next week, the percentage drops some more, 70% to 80% goes to the studios in it's 3rd week, the rest goes to the theaters. The cycle will continue until about the first month in, then the split is usually even. Now, the reason why domestic markets are more important than the foreign markets, is because OS, the percentage of what the studios get back is a hell of a lot less. In China, as much money as Transformers makes there, they will only get back 20% of the gross, the Chinese government keeps the rest. This is why often, you see movies perform bad at the domestic front, but blow up OS, enough to cover it's production costs and then some, it still won't get greenlit for a sequel. But, that's why, the studios aren't seeing that money unless it's getting into the 700 to 800 WW scenario.


And then, there is also this to consider, like any big budget project, most of it is financed, so, not only does the studio have to pay back the loans, they also have to pay back the interest on the loans. And there is also the possibility that several of the key players, like producers, directors, the main actors, script writers, will also get a cut in something known as royalties.

This sequel talk, I will take with a grain of salt. Just look at the past folks. Weren't we in the same boat back in 2007 when that movie came out number one at the BO? I swore Munroe was claiming, sequel time, and it never got off the ground, despite a poster for it and everything. Heck, look at this year's Amazing Spider-Man, they had all of these plans with spin offs and whatnot, but despite the movie still being a success, it underperformed in the long run (no legs) so it looks like the studio execs are panicking like crazy over at Sony due to their initial plans might be squashed.

They never really showed what happened to eric sacks so I think it would be cool to show him getting up from where he was left in the first one to reveal he is infact, krang now needing a body, or an utrom. This would bring the plot hole of the first movie to rest where once theysaid the ooz was from alien orgin then later stating they made it for a cure type thing. Then it could show him along with baxter creating bebop and rocksteady while an accident happens and causes baxter to turn into the fly for the end reveal and final battle but having b&r through the rest of the film with shredder.. just a thought.....

I wonder how Ciro feels about this.

I remember he made a post on facebook around the time the 2014 movie designs hit the internet and it was not positive. Dunno if he ever ended up deleting it or not.

congrats to a new sequel!! I would love to see Usagi in it....

[Puddinpop]

And looky look.. the same loser's already trying to kick up the odds. From the second it's announced the failure chants begin

WHATEVER!!!

[RedRocBoy]

So happy to hear this. Really enjoyed the movie so glad people enjoyed it. Hope they make it longer, make April a stronger character and addsome more depth to the rest of the characters. And add Bebop,Rocksteady and Casey. Foot Ninjas and more insight on Shredder. Really happy this is happening. RIP TMNT 2014 HATERS!!!!

Yeah ive seen this somewhere....I just thought that was fan made? Would have been a cool concept tho except all the focus would have been on one character. Least it wouldnt have been leo or raph tho

[TigerClaw]

I'm glad that a sequel is happening, they just need a better writer, and not more then one.

When toxic Schadenfreude backfires you get the kind of genuine anger (and confusion) that's generated in this thread. Sorry, but a lot of people bought this on themselves. The sadistic corner of my mind can’t help but release a chuckle here and there. Did people genuinely think this was going to flop? Ninja Turtles is still very relevant and the fanbase is huge (and not just made up of those who post here). The brand itself still holds a lot of weight. The general audience was always going to turn up to this film.

Ya that but I want bebop and rocksteady for once

[Donatello19]

Wow, that was fast! I'm glad though, I loved the movie and can't wait for the sequel.

The people on this forum have turned to animals because of this movie. It's like everyone is now a cannibal.

Well at least I was wary from the start. As soon as I saw those nostrils I knew all hope was lost. It was a sign.
