If TMNT were failing all around, I would agree with all of you... but...
-The Nick Cartoon, though no longer as big as it used to be, is still popular and profitable.
-The playmates toys and other TMNT merchandise, whose sales are very very strong, is profitable.
-while to a lesser extent, the IDW comics, and new tie-in board game (along with TMNT's expansion into the world of Heroclix) is popular and profitable in the smaller scale of the collector/nerd market.
-The first PD movie was THE most profitable Nickelodeon branded movie EVER. And it was profitable comapred to the second one.
-This is Nick and Viacom's ONLY relevant superhero franchise. That- again- has proven profitable recently.
I don't see them giving up and putting it on ice when only one pillar of the entire IP isn't holding up. I think they will try again, without platinum dunes this time. if they think there is even a small chance of money being made, there will be a reboot or imaging or movie of some kind, sooner than people think.
