Nickelodeon and Viacom probably think people are losing interest, cancel everything (except for the IDW comic) but reboot it about 5 or 10 years later.

It was going for five seasons anyway and they were cleared for that much last year.

People just aren't jazzed for the PD tmnt franchise. Marvel does so well because it caters to adults just as much as kids. This tmnt 2 was made for kids and tweens. When movies are made mostly for kids, it won't fare as well with critics. Go watch this in week 3 and observe the volume of kids in attendance. Platinum Dunes failed, time to move in to next idea. I hope Netflix picks up tmnt. They could do a great story with rich character development.

Does anyone know why the TMNT 2 discussion thread was closed?

Hostility and personal insults got it shuttered, I assume.

*chrisdude* · 06-04-2016, 07:43 PM

I sometimes wish they'd just ban and suspend more people. Closing threads all the time kinda seems like not moderating.

Well, it's not like they're paid for their time, and shutting down an argument-in-progress means less for them to clean up afterward. And I imagine banning is kind of considered a last resort.

I generally agree with this statement, but I don't see how that thread got locked. Honestly don't think it was that hostile. Even samxsteal was keeping it real.

*CyberCubed* · 06-04-2016, 07:51 PM

I think the thread was locked because people were going off-topic about Marvel movies, not that people were flaming.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 06-04-2016, 07:53 PM

We go off-topic all the time, and even then the threads are only closed when you start talking about your waifu.

Yeah man, closing a thread because of naughty users is a bit much.

there used to be a user here, who tried to harass me on twitter, and was very hostile towards others, he was banned.

To be fair, Amaranthus was a whole 'nother story all together. Sure, there's hostility in threads every now and then, but that dude was just something else.

It's one thing to fight in a forum, but it's another thing to find multiple members of said forum and harass them over social media.

So far the reception seems pretty good. Im hoping it does well I wanna say it will do better then the last one it deserves to.

Also
I have never attached anyone but I have a feeling I know why but meh I just hope they do something about certain user instead of just letting people get away with things.

I have on the other hand been attached countless times lol with nothing ever happening to those who have.

I'm guessing the reason this film is doing so poorly is everyone was horrified by the 2014 film and said, "I won't be fooled again" so they didn't see this one.

I can understand it, but this movie blows the first out of the water.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 06-04-2016, 09:39 PM

Tell me about it. I walked into work my usher shift today and it was surprisingly dead. It picked up a little before I got off but the theaters for this movie were no where near as packed as something like Civil War or Deadpool. I believe even Me Before You was doing better than this movie. I don't know whether it's because of the many school graduations happening in my area or what. All I know is that this movie might have some steady competition with The Conjuring 2, Now You See Me 2, and Warcraft next weekend, but once Finding Dory comes out, it's all over for the turtles.

Hell it might be all over THIS weekend.

BOM haven't posted their Saturday estimates yet, but 10.5 million on a Friday during Summer?

That's REALLY bad.

Even X-Men: Apocalypse made 25 million on a Friday last month. Just like a week or so ago.

Unless Saturday BO friggin EXPLODES in a big way, this has bomb written all over it.

Yeah, I guess that's pretty much the way it works. It certainly isn't because this movie is or looks worse.

*Powder* · 06-04-2016, 10:01 PM

Another thing that seems to back all that up is right before your eyes, these forums. Pretty quiet. I expected this place to be booming with discussion, but it's only marginally more than a Nick series season finale or something. Pretty quiet. Remember how it was last time? Any given thread in this section had like 3 posts made in it per minute. Total chaos. Granted a little chunk of those posters were casuals who came & went riding a wave of nostalgia.

Mmmmmno that's probably a big contributing factor.

Yep, I noticed that all throughout the production and the lead up to this weekend.

Nowhere near the amount of "hype" there was last time.
