Following a strong Tuesday (Aug. 1) preview turnout which brought in $3.85 million, and surfing atop a wave of critical praise and strong audience word of mouth, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem rode to a five-day opening of $43.073 million domestically. The $70M film surpassed post-preview estimates hovering around $30M-$40M; 16% of box office came from premium screens and 3D was 13%.
While the Turtles came in behind billion-dollar Barbie and Oppenheimer, Paramount Pictures/Nickelodeon Movies are looking forward to a cowabunga-worthy performance as TMNT:MM has yet to see a majority of its international market launches and won’t see major animated family flick competition until PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie opens in eight weeks.
TMNT:MM is currently sitting on the highest Rotten Tomatoes critic score for any animated film this year with 96% Fresh (edging out Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse at 95%) and boasts an audience score of 92% as of Monday (Aug. 7). Audience polls show kids and parents are enthusiastic in their ratings and recommends.
