How is the movie REALLY doing?

Here is a question about the real factor that will determine if we get another TMNT Sequel or not; how is the movie merchandise sales doing? If enough toys, clothing, and other licensed products sell, this movie could tank even harder than it has, and the parade of movies will continue until the end of time.

Also, how is it looking for China? It's gonna get a big push over because Chinese business money is invested in the film, and if it's a hit there... well, the hope it's gonna fail will fail, the desire for it to tank will tank. I want to know how this is going to turn out in the end. Personally, I think when the DVD/blu-ray/digital sales and all streams of revenue are counted, this disaster of a movie won't be a hit, but it will be profitable.

Won't open in China until July. The last one sold really well on home video. We'll see.

Probably. But not enough that they'd be willing to roll the dice and bet that any sort of a Part 3 wouldn't just drop even further.

It's kind of like we're... at the end of something...
