I've always said the IDW material... at least in large parts... would make for an excellent film series. The possibilities with flashbacks of their past lives in Japan could create an amazing dichotomy. But it would need to have teeth.

Thursday preview numbers are in:

Friday AM Update: Thursday night preshow results are in and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows lead the way with a soft $2 million compared to the $4.6 million the first Turtles feature brought in from preview screenings in August 2014. A good comparison would be 2014's Hercules, which brought in $2.1 million before opening with $29.8 million. Another would be Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials which brought in $1.7 million on Thursday night before delivering a $30.3 million opening last September.

The numbers will go up when word of mouth reaches out that it's not as bad as the first one.

There's plenty of word of mouth on twitter, a lot of people love it, some even are going as far as posting cellphone videos of the movie playing on the screen.

Welp. Pack it up, folks. Nothing to see here.

Less than half of 2014's Thursday box office despite having earlier shows. Unless another territory (I'm looking at you China) generates a big return I think we can stick a fork in "TMNT" as presented by Platinum Dunes.

Glowing recommendations can turn it all around.

Deadline and Variety say that the money made from preview showings is solid.

Still, $2M isn’t too shabby in a marketplace where sequels have taken a beating at the B.O. this year.

Paramount’s “Ninja Turtles” sequel opened with a solid $2 million during Thursday night preview screenings at about 3,000 U.S. sites, while the Warner Bros. romantic drama “Me Before You” took in $1.4 million. Universal’s Andy Samberg comedy “Popstar” launched quietly with $322,000 on Thursday.

The showing I went to had sold eight tickets ten minutes from the starting point, so I didn't bother buying a ticket for another movie in order to sneak in, felt really pointless to do that if so few tickets were sold anyway.

Granted, it was early in the day but it's opening day and the theater has a little over five hundred seats. . Other theaters in the Stockholm area also seem to be rather empty from what I can see online.

Just a thought but didn't the 2014 movie came out during the US school holidays (I think), that's probably why it did less on the Thursday opening than the last movie.

The theaters where am at are starting to sell out. I have a group of 23 trying to get tickets for tonight and one only had 8 and 11 left for the 7 and 9 showings, another only had 3 and 12 and the last one I checked only had 9 and 5 left. Very frustrating but a rather good sign. I did find one that we can see tonight but it's an 11:50 showing. Oh well...11:50 it is
