Well, we might not get Guardians to beat Turtles, but we can still get it pass Transformers 4's 10-day record.

@Rockerdude22 Have you read Marvelfan15 comments? Just thinking of him..........

Anyone who labels and puts down something as "childish" or "cartoonish" is, in fact, insecure about their own maturity. Nuff said

Wow really?

@Locky - I think you are in the wrong article

Only word of mouth that matters with this kind of movie is that of the kids.

And BTW- an under 60% drop for a major blockbuster isn't a "crushing" defeat. Falling to Monsters and Zombies your second weekend out when you are allegedly the "most famous superhero of them all" is an embarrassing AND crushing defeat! ;)

@Thundered - Don't start turning this into a Dc v Marvel! Dc is Irrelevant on this thread.

Watched GOTG twice, saw TMNT at a prescreening and it wasn't my cup of tea. Call me old but I will stick with the 90's Turtles. These turtles are for todays middle schoolers.

Saw Gotg twice and really enjoyed the movie. Saw tmnt midnight showing and it was about what I expected. It wasn't a very good movie but it had some aspects that I liked, probably for nostalgia. This should be considered a big success for tmnt but the overall box office numbers should be more of an indication of winning and losing.

TMNT is on pace for roughly 65 million but i have a feeling it's going to have a steep drop, making the movie front loaded. For this movie to be a true success, it won't have a 65% drop off next weekend which I fear it may have. Audiences seem to be really split with the movie.

I'm a huge huge huge Superman fan and sadly, mos was very front loaded. With the opening MOS had, I feel it should have made more in the overall box office. On a side note, I can't stand it when people say Captain America destroyed Rio 2. The overall box office, yes; but that second weekend was extremely close: like 43 million to 42 million. Captain America had good legs, which I think Guardians is having, but why can't we all just enjoy these movies instead of making it a competition? We're all winning! Guardians of the galaxy has already been green lit for a sequel, can't TMnT do well for those who enjoyed it so they can also enjoy seeing a sequel?

@MexicanSuperman Doesn't matter if he's joking around. There are certain things you shouldn't joke about, and suicide is one of them.

Wow, Sensitive aren't we!!!!

SEQUEL INEVITABLE.....JUST DO ONE THING..AMP UP THE DANGER LEVEL, THE ACTION..EVERYTHING.
