Y'know... I think I remember that. I thought that was a self-effacing joke. But maybe not.

Good to see it beat out "300". I just hope this movie can maintain its buzz and remain up top.

Hmmm... Well what about what he said here?

I'd love it to happen, I wish it was my decision. I do have a deal to do a second one, we'll just wait and see if it happens. I think it's going to depend, it's just all box office at this point.”

Not sure if this says anything but tonite I went for my second viewing. Now it may have been due to the fact it was the late showing, but I was one of 3 people there, and the other 2 were a young teenage couple, at oldest my age. So, yeah, that may not bode well...but again it was the 9:15 showing.

You went on a Sunday night. Most people have work or school the next morning, so there probably wouldn't be many people in the theater.

TMNT reviews/stories are currently on the front page of Google News in the entertainment section. Most of the stories are from the AP coverage of TMNT being number 1.

This is a good thing.

From "Weekend Box Office Gets Turtle Power!" by Stephanie Sanchez 3/25/07, quoting Reuters:

"TMNT" is the fourth entry in the crime-fighting franchise; the previous one, the live-action "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III," opened at No. 1 in 1991 with $12.4 million. (Back then, the average ticket price was $4.21; last year, it was $6.55, according to the Motion Picture Assn. of America.)

Warner Bros., a 50/50 partner on "TMNT" with international distributor Weinstein Co., also released "300," which slipped to No. 2 with $20.5 million. The total for the blood-soaked Spartan saga rose to $162.4 million after three weeks.

So... the movie opened at least 7 mil more than WB expected.

TMNT made another $1,428,373 Monday.

New total = $25,683,578

Head Spinnin' Bebop · 03-27-2007, 05:09 PM

I hope movie 2/5 isn't too far away. With this being #1, that is very impressive and I didn't think it would. Its awesome and hope it stays in the top 5 for the next couple weeks. That be tubular!

Is the DVD due out in July?

I thought the movie had already made 25 million over the weekend, so the 1.4 million added to the weekend gross would bring the total to about 26+ million, right?

esco · 03-27-2007, 05:38 PM

Opening Weekend was $24.3... 24,255,--- something like that. You can check the link, its not working for me right now. 25 was the estimate but I guess Sunday didn't do as good as predicted.
