So its been over a month, I guess no TMNT 3 has been greenlit?

[CyberCubed]

Don't we usually hear about sequels being greenlit shortly after a previous movie comes out? Well TMNT 2 is now gone from theaters and has been done for over a month...and we have not heard anything about a sequel.

So I guess we can finally stick a fork in it and say its done? If they didn't announce a sequel now, I guess they never will.

I guess the nightmare is finally over.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Bury the corpse.

No, it certainly hasn't been greenlit, the movie has been out for over two months and it has not broken even so any plans for a third one were probably scrapped.

The next TMNT movie (if another TMNT movie gets made at all) will without a doubt be a reboot.

[CyberCubed]

We probably won't get another TMNT movie now till the 2020's at some point. Man, we'll all be so old by then.

And hopefully by some other people. And yeah.... I seriously doubt that there will never ever be another TMNT film, like EVER. That's like saying after this BVS/Suicide Squad/Justice League stuff dies down no one else will ever come along to make yet another Batman film someday. The only question, as we get older is, will there be another TMNT made in our lifetime or at least while we're still not old enough to be in a nursing home.

Cybercubed is Temple Fugate. No other possibility.

Not necessarily. This sort of movie you would think that would be the case, but it's not like that is a requirement set in stone.


Even if they did eventually do a third, no way are they going to eagerly announce such a thing right now after the way this turned out. Best to just hide in shame for a while, let it cool off, rethink their plan, get some good writers, and take the time required to actually make something good. (I know, that's probably a total fantasy.)

I thought budget was 135 mil
Box office was 237 mil

[snake]

Maybe they'll pull a ghostbusters 2 and release it 5 years from now

[ProactiveMan]

They made a third movie in the 90s after SOTO underperformed.

[IndigoErth]

And a direct to video release. It might be safer for them and more cost effective.

[Andrew NDB]

Let's not give up hope yet. Bebop and Rocksteady must ride again!

First...yes, the budget was $135 million. But that Doesn't Include Advertising and Marketing. The best guess is that the Marketing/Advertising itself was around the $100 million mark (this is the same film which had Super Bowl Spots. Those alone cost around $3 million apiece). Nowadays, studios throw out an insane amount of money in the advertising/marketing department.

In other words, the budget & the marketing would equal to around $235 million. I can guarantee that the makers of the flick (and the studio) were wanting this sequel to be bigger than the first one (since they included all of this 'nostalgia' stuff aka Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, the Technodrome, and so forth). It didn't even make half of it (I think the previous one made around $500 million worldwide).

It's a flop.

And second...Secret of the Ooze was not a flop. That's the difference. It cost around $25 million and made about $80 million. That was in 1991 dollars (when tickets were much, much cheaper). Would love to see what that would be when adjusted for inflation.

So the truth of the matter is that Secret of the Ooze was a bigger (as well as an actual) box office success than Out of the Shadows.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

I am content with the Platinum Dunes' tmnt movies ending at Out of the Shadows.

[Krutch]

Depends greatly on how the toy sales were for this movie. Also, whether or not it has strong Netflix viewings can make an impact. So there's some unseen factors out there to consider.

[thundermaster612]

I just wanna see what happened to Shredder and Krang actually dying.

[Donnie]

I forgot what I watched after I saw this film. My mind has a BS wall, and the entire film hit that wall so, so hard. Let's hope this latest installment of horse manure was the last.

TMNT will return in the next few years, though either a reboot or soft reboot. The playmates cash cow will not die that easily.
