The cinema box office landscape is proving to look quite different in its post-COVID era. Case in point, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem looked as if it might be a box office flop after a tepid opening weekend but the Jeff Rowe-directed pic continues to trudge along, adding another $11.7 million worldwide over the Labor Day holiday weekend.
Mutant Mayhem now sits at $152.99 million worldwide from a production budget of just $70 million.
The film recently hit digital Ondemand on September 1 but it appears that despite the film being available to view at home, Mutant Mayhem is still continuing to squeeze out revenue at the domestic box office. There are also several international territories that have yet to open as well.
The movie still needs to make over $50 million more in order to break even, and as it enters its fifth week of distribution, the odds look stacked against the critically acclaimed animated movie, which has a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
With Mutant Mayhem now available for rental on the home video market, TMNT fans should expect its domestic theater count to sharply taper off in the coming weeks.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem stars Nicolas Cantu (Leonardo), Sharon Brown Jr. (Mikey), Micah Abbey (Donnie), Brady Noon (Raph), Jackie Chan (Splinter), Ayo Edebiri (April), Ice Cube (Superfly), Seth Rogen (Bebop), John Cena (Rocksteady), Paul Rudd (Mondo Gecko), Rose Byrne (Leatherhead), Post Malone (Ray Fillet), Hannibal Buress (Genghis Frog), Natasia Demetriou (Wing Nut), Maya Rudolph (Cynthia Utrom), and Giancarlo Esposito (Baxter Stockman)!
After years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers through heroic acts. Their new friend April O’Neil helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.
