TMNT Wins at the Box Office
Very good news for all of us comic book and animation fans. TMNT broke out this weekend with a $25.5 million opening. Here's an article from CBR that explains it as good as anybody...
"Expectations for "TMNT" were unclear, as tracking on the film leading up to its debut was mixed, but that's not unusual for family friendly fare. What was unusual was the variety of audience in attendance, which included a larger than expected 18+ crowd, many of whom grew up on the original films and were obviously curious to see how their child hood favorites looked in the 21st century. The $25 million dollar opening is good news for Turtle fans as the modestly budgeted computer animated film – reportedly costing $35 million to make – will almost certainly make back its costs domestically, likely ensuring a sequel."
Now we're talking. A comic book film, in all it's animated glory, capturing the true essence of the comic (no foam costumes) and being seen by both kids and parents. Finally.
Thank you Imagi. Now get to work on the sequel...
