Heading into its second weekend how big a drop will Guardians see? Take a look at the competition.
1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - 21% on Rotten Tomatoes (as of 8/8/14)
This is easily the biggest challenger. Turtles now have two generations of name recognition and seems to be big marketing push behind this. The question is will critics slamming it matter, or will it be like Transformers where people see it anyways?
2. Step Up: All In - 44% on Rotten Tomatoes (as of 8/8/14)
They still make these? I had no idea this was even coming out, but apparently they do okay if they keep cranking them out. Feels like a different audience to me and don't expect it to make a big impact.
3. Into the Storm - 17% on Rotten Tomatoes (as of 8/8/14)
Had no idea this was coming out either, looks like a 70s disaster film or Sci-Fi TV movie. I cannot imagine it doing well with such major competition around it.
4. The Hundred Foot Journey - 58% on Rotten Tomatoes (as of 8/8/14)
Feels more like an indy film which is distinct market with little marketing. Does not seem to be much buzz around it either so not expecting much here.
Predictions!
1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - 50 million
2. Guardians of the Galaxy - 45 million
3. Lucy - 12 million
4. Step Up: All In - 10 million
5. Into the Storm - 8 million
6. Hundred Foot Journey - 6 million
What are yours?
