Many were excited for the sequel in the Ninja Turtles series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, but the box office numbers don’t reflect a good weekend out of them. While it did take home the most money at the box office, they definitely didn’t perform up to expectations. They brought in just $35.3 million during their debut.
The original Ninja Turtles brought in $65.6 million in its debut weekend and then ended up with $493.3 million worldwide when it was all said and done.
Sequels this year have mainly disappointed at the box office and this second Ninja Turtles movie definitely did more of the same. Many are saying it was because of a big drop in attendance from 25-34 year olds this time around. We’ll see if they can recover by the end of this upcoming week.
