Sure, box office analysts had this film pegged to come in a little lower and while that's all fine and dandy...people really need to see how it plays out and does into the next weekend. For me personally, any success of this movie is a true loss because I'm really not digging the direction and the universe set up for me in this first film.

I don't think the studio will take it's time and they'll try to rush their version of TMNT 2 by 2016 to strike while the iron is hot again. It'll be basically what happened with Amazing Spider-Man 2.

I haven't seen Spider-Man 2 so I can't comment.

However, a lot of people liked (or loved) the movie. I quite enjoyed it, so did everyone I was with. It was fast paced, simple, and fun. Exactly what I wanted.

Any success is a loss? Not true. If it wasn't a success, you'd probably have to wait another 20 years for a hopeful reboot. Even if it's a success, they could change it up a little to better please the critics or they could end up rebooting after a couple a movies.

A failure means bye bye Turtles from the big screen for a long, long time.
