Since it was reported that GOTG had gotten back the top spot in the U.S. box office, I thought it'd be nice to point out that TMNT was number one on Tuesday. Paramount's magnum opus, which reigned at the box office for two weeks, took in
$3,513,719, while Marvel's film made a paltry
$3,511,416. For you mathematically challenged, that is over
$2,000 more. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had an estimated production budget of
$125 million and a current domestic gross of
$124,080,722, however it hasn't opened in numerous foreign territories.
Will the box office fluctuate again like it usually does on weekdays? Chances are yes, but for now the turtles are dining on Groot soup.
