And most amusing of all, not only did the previous movie open stronger, it was doing almost ten times better by the seventh week.

So realistically, this means there simply won't be a third one, the first barely made enough money to justify a sequel and said sequel failed both failed opening weekend and dropped in ticket sales much quicker. So the question is, what's the most realistic future for TMNT movies? A complete abandonment of the IP? A series of straight to digital kids' movies?

Spoiler:
I also find it kind amusing that despite what people here and on the internet in general might make you think, the first of the PD TMNT movies would actually be the more popular of the two according to the box office numbers. I mean seriously, more than twice as much in total and ten times better weekly after two months? The gap is huge.
I still feel like Bay and PD will try a TMNT/Transformers crossover, due to Transformers being HUGELY successful in the box office.
