Early Friday Eve Box Office: #1 ‘Mutant Ninja Turtles’ $56.5M, #2 ‘Guardians/Galaxy’ $47.7M Something is wrong with those numbers. According to Box Office Mojo, Turtles did only 4.6 million domestically in Thursday night take compared to 11.2 million Guardians did a week ago.

Kids, I guess.... Enough kids to make up a seven million dollar deficit and then add another ten on top in one day? Damn kids!

F***ing kids, man. These are the same people who don't understand a great line like, "If I had a blacklight, this place would look like a Jackson Pollock painting!"

Saw one review that was upset that TMNT is apparently stealing some of GOTG thunder.
Crazy

My childhood already happened, it can't be ruined unless Michael Bay invents time travel.
But yeah, Guardians is a summer movie, those always have huge drop offs. If you want one in for the long haul, you release it later in the year. That's what James Cameron discovered.

The Avengers released at Christmas would be on top of the box office for a solid four months.

Guardians will make their bank, I have my vintage Turtles with villainous Uncle Phil and I will do just fine. Just sore that an inferior is beating a superior in my mind.

At this point, I'm just set with the fact that this film has been called out enough for it's crap and in a decade, this version will be forgotten.

One could argue that Ninja Turtles' success is in fact a by-product of GotG's reigniting of the moribund summer box office, if one were somehow personally offended by the result for some reason.

Can't really get angry. If that's what people want.
But it's disappointing, cause I can imagine the production design team were just like the Itchy & Scratchy makers when they were brainstorming Poochy.
maybe if Rocket Raccoon was wearing a backward's baseball cap
