One of the biggest problems with this rendition is it’s not even about the Turtles. The financial results may have exceeded their expectations, but they didn't achieve that goal of ensuring that viewers experienced everything they loved about the Turtles. The result exceeded our high expectations and the response to the film is beyond great, making it all the more fun to get started on the continuation of their story.” "Launching a new take on the Turtles into the feature film world was a daunting task because as fans of them ourselves, we felt a great responsibility to ensure audiences were going to experience everything they loved about the Turtles, while also getting to see them brought to life in a way they had never been seen before. Turtles should be in better shape, but because it will continue battling Guardians of the Galaxy and have to face The Expendables 3 and Sin City: A Dame to Kill Forin the coming weeks, there is a chance it could run into a somewhat similar problem.Īccording to Deadline, this is what Adam Goodman, President of Paramount's Film Group, had to say about the plan to move forward with the sequel: That film opened with $53.2 million in June of 2011, but that wound up amounting to 45.6% of its total domestic gross because it fell so fast. The weekend-to-weekend percent change could prove to be a big problem for Turtles. It will make back that $125 million, but what about the money spent to promote the thing? And even if it earns all that money back too, how much of a profit could it possibly make?

Thus far, the film has taken that $65 million at the domestic box office and then another $28.7 million overseas.

Apparently the movie had a $125 million production budget. $65 million isn’t a bad start, but Paramount might have jumped the gun on this one.
