Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem earned $26.49 million in its second weekend, bringing its then total to $94.69 million, as of August 13. This comes after the film's opening weekend, saw the Jeff Rowe-directed animated pic gross $43 million domestically and $8 million internationally for a $51 million worldwide debut.
The movie recently completed its third weekend of distribution and earned an additional $8.5 million domestically and $4.7 million abroad, bringing its overall gross to $118.54 million. The movie only made a total of $23.85 million in its third complete week of distribution.
With a rumored $70 million production budget, the movie still has a long way to go if it hopes to break even after accounting for marketing expenses and revenue splits with cinemas.
To recap, the first weekend saw Mutant Mayhem gross $51 million worldwide, followed by $26.5 million over its second weekend of release and then $13.2 million this past weekend.
The film still has to open in several international territories, including Spain (Aug. 25), Brazil (Aug. 31), Italy (Aug. 31), Australia (Sept. 7), and Japan (Sept. 22). There's a small chance that these international territories may provide a significant box office boost.
As previously covered, there are not many family-friendly movie options for the next few weeks and audiences don't appear to be all that interested in Warner Bros.' Blue Beetle.
The next family-friendly film won't arrive until PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie hits cinemas on September 29, so there's room for Mutant Mayhem to stretch its legs at the box office.
The film stars Nicolas Cantu (Leonardo), Sharon Brown Jr. (Mikey), Micah Abbey (Donnie), Brady Noon (Raph), Jackie Chan (Splinter), Ayo Edebiri (April), Ice Cube (Superfly), Seth Rogen (Bebop), John Cena (Rocksteady), Paul Rudd (Mondo Gecko), Rose Byrne (Leatherhead), Post Malone (Ray Fillet), Hannibal Buress (Genghis Frog), Natasia Demetriou (Wing Nut), Maya Rudolph (Cynthia Utrom), and Giancarlo Esposito (Baxter Stockman)!
After years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers through heroic acts. Their new friend April O'Neil helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.
