Box Office Gross Domestic/Global

[Vicky82]

As the movie comes out today, think it be a good idea to do this thread and post how much TMNT makes at the cinema each day in the US

This will also include, Opening Weekend, Domestic, Global and also if your from a different country post here how much it's making at your box office.

In a few hours we will find out how much TMNT does on Thursday night,

Oh and another thing,

NO ARGUEMENTS/SMARK RESPONSES IN HERE PLEASE.

The “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” reboot finally came out of its shell on Thursday, scoring $4.6 million in evening showings in 2,651 theaters.

Paramount estimates that the film, which was directed by Jonathan Liebesman and produced by Michael Bay, will make somewhere in the mid-to-high $40 million in its opening weekend. The film, listed at a budget of $125 million, is rumored to have cost closer to $150 million.

Comparatively, Captain America: The Winter Soldier made $10.2m on its Thursday preview opening, X-Men: Days of Future Past made $8.1m, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 made $8.7m, Transformers: Age of Extinction made $8.75m, and Guardians of the Galaxy made $11.2m.

Also, Guardians still beat TMNT yesterday, taking in $7.6m for its second Thursday.

I guess to be more accurate with the numbers we should wait till tomorrow to see exactly what the movie brings in for a Thursday night. Also I feel like some people here want to see this movie bomb and favor a Marvel property.

We've been through this before, but... some of us just want the better movie to be more successful. Besides, we can be TMNT fans and Marvel fans.

That's even higher than $4.2 million that Maleficent made back in May. Though that movie had an overwhelmingly female crowd. This film is on track for a $45 million to $50 million opening.

Wasn't Maleficent considered a flop?

Edit: Huh, I guess it DID do pretty well for itself.

Certainly not. It has so far grossed $727 million worldwide, including $235 million from North America, against a budget of $180 million.

Important thing to consider from the Deadline comment section:

When the media reports this weekend’s box office numbers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will include Thursday night receipts. Guardians of the Galaxy box office grosses for Thursday won’t be counted in this weekend’s numbers. It will be a close battle between Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Guardians of the Galaxy under the traditional reporting of weekend grosses for a new movie and a movie in its second weekend of release.

So keep in mind that when the final weekend numbers are in, that the extra $4.6m for TMNT's Thursday night "count" toward that total and GotG's Thursday numbers don't. Weird how they do that.

[TigerClaw]

The film open with 4.6 million on Thursday, That's pretty good.

I hope this movie does well. If it does do well am seeing it doing so slowly. How much do you guys think this movie needs to make in order for the film makers to be happy with it? I would love to see it reach $800 Million+ at the end of its run like Transformers 1

I heard that a movie needs to make double its budget to break even, do you guys think this is actually true? Ninja Turtles would have to make $250 Million to break even if this rule is true.

[bloodstainedwings]

I am going to see this movie tomorrow, I am excited for it!!!!!!!!

Ya The double or nothing rule does apply, but you also have to take the marketing into the figures as well. So the budget was around 125, and usually it is around 50 to 60 more for marketing. So I would say close to 300 to break even. I am predicting around 450 to 550 at the end of it all. The overseas market will help the film.

[NinjaPug]

Rule of thumb is 2.5x the production budget. I've seen a couple reports over the past few days from the trades saying that TMNT's production budget was closer to $150 million and not the reported $125 million.

[bloodstainedwings]

So how do movies make any money? DVD/Blu-Ray, VOD sales times how many times they intend to sell this movie over time??
If this rule is true, how can people get excited for how well a movie is doing at the Box Office? Take AVATAR for example everyone was going on and on about how the movie made 2 Billion+ at the Box Office. No one really knows how much it cost to make the movie, all they were saying is that it was the most expensive movie to make at the time. For all we know the profit could have been low for that movie.

[SwiftNinjaFox]

In that same article, Deadline is reporting Guardians took 7.6 million on Thursday night against TMNT's 4.6 million. It's set records from it's night of release through every night since.

It's really going to be determined by word of mouth, I think.
