Where do you get 20 years for a reboot? Please, look at the Hulk movies and Spider-Man films...those at least got a reboot within their franchise within 5 years a part from one another. Obviously this big opening weekend means people WANT TMNT films, but the studio just needs to realize they need to make good movies as well. A failure does not mean "buh bye" Turtles....it just means someone needs to produce a better product.

Are you kidding?

The Hulk made back it's budget, but didn't make the studio a lot of money overall from the project. They even put out a better product a few later and it was even less successful (still made the company money in the end, but not much). Neither Hulk film was a financial success in anyway, but they weren't complete flops.

Spider-Man? Of course they'd reboot it.. it did absolutely fantastic at the box office. I eluded to that by saying if it does well, but not as well as they think, they could reboot it. If it's a straight up failure? It's not getting a reboot for a long time.

I got 20 years from 1993 till 2014. It was a guesstimate, not an exact number, obviously. They tried to reboot Turtles once with a cheap film, and it didn't work. If this failed, you honestly see it getting a reboot in 5 years? Not a chance in hell. No one is going to throw their money into the Turtles again for a long time if this movie had of bombed.

This move becoming a moderate success would be the best thing to happen for the franchise. It forces them to up the ante a little, but we'll get a sequel.
