It all depends. On the one hand, I would think they would look at the failure of the Bay movies and look at them as stern warnings of what NOT to do... on the other, they may look at the Bay movies in retrospect and go, "Huh... maybe they were 'too adult.' Let's aim even younger!" That's exactly what they're doing with "Rise," in response to the original Nick show's diminished ratings. The very first press release about Rise touted it as being "more lighthearted" and "comedic" than the existing Nick show. The Nick show has always been pretty lighthearted and comedic.

I don't have a lot of faith at this point.

Will they try to gain a wider audience by making a tmnt film for adults while kids enjoy the Rise show?
So far I haven't really seen anything from them to indicate they even acknowledge an older (and when I say "older," I mean over the age of 12) audience, let alone any desire on their part to encourage or cater to one.
