The Big Picture Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem has finally been released in theaters, and its debut at the worldwide box office brings in a comfortable total against its modest budget. The animated project grossed around $51 million from movie theaters across the planet, giving a solid advantage as the summer movie season approaches its conclusion.
In Mutant Mayhem, the turtles are living their best lives, eating the best pizza in New York City, and trying to prevent crime from happening before it even begins. But even with all the teachings Splinter has tried to give them over the course of their lives, nothing could've prepared them for the revolution that would be organized right outside their door. Superfly, the main antagonist of the story voiced by Ice Cube, is tired of the way humans have treated mutants.
Another win for the animated feature is its impressive, and extensive, voice cast bringing the characters of Mutant Mayhem to life. Some of the most iconic characters from the franchise, Bebop and Rocksteady, were portrayed by Seth Rogen and John Cena, respectively, while The Bear's Ayo Edebiri brought to life April O'Neil. On the other hand, the turtles themselves had four young actors behind them, bringing authenticity to the Teenage in TMNT.
The Turtles at the Box Office By comparison, the last time Paramount tried to bring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the big screen saw different results at the box office. While the 2014 live-action version that featured Megan Fox as April O'Neil scored $65.5 million at the domestic box office on its opening weekend, its sequel, Out of the Shadows, couldn't obtain such strong results, only grossing $35.3 million on its debut.
