Stephen Chow had his chance to prove himself with american audiences in DragonBall Evolution. He failed miserably and he probably won't get another chance. So we'll have to settle for dubbed chinese movies.

They are right, with whast little $$$ this movie brought in, the platinum dunes series is dead in the water.

All that remains to be seen, are how the merchandise and DVD/blu-ray/digital sales go. Chinese money could be tempted into investing in this thing again, especially since it did so well in China.

And Remember; Playmates, a Hong Kong company, stands to make the most from this movie series continuing. I don't think they'll let their biggest cash cow go down the drain without at least trying to prop it up again.

And José Padilha had his chance with Robocop2014 - but the studios screwed them both, forcing their hands.

José Padilha called RC2014 the wort experience of his career.

I'm sure DBZ was no picnic.

That's not "doing well", c'mon. It took in 30 mill. Warcraft did well.

Nobody's hyped for a part 3. The end my friend, has come.

Just playing devil's advocate with this film series.

Also, it's only been three days for that 30 million in china, let's see how it's done when they update the stats next week.

I'm curious too. I think Bay is making a massive mistake with TF 5, because the tides have finally turned, and crap films aren't being rewarded in that puzzling way they were just a few years ago.
My concern, is that the suits never relent. They don't think the audience should dictate the direction of a franchise, and seem to actively oppose overwhelming opinion.
If Spiderman HC flops (and it could) they'll point to it as a beacon of all the reasons why fans don't know what they want.

Just sick of the blind men on an elephant routine.

"Look, you see, we spent twice the budget on turtles, gave them stuff from the cartoon, and we made half the money. The first film was a better formula, made more, cost us less. Let's get back to that."

^^ the rational for third film a la Platinum doom.

Went poking around Google with the Chinese title and came across these posters. Kind of a different take on other posters we've seen. (http://news.mtime.com/2016/07/06/1557019.html)

Still can't get past how stupid they look in pants and shoes as their regular attire..... Sure, as a disguise it's ok.. but always? Just no.

It's all DVD's fault. He should've payed more money beforehand rather than the amount he already gives to get the toys early

of course I'm joking shut up
(EDIT: you know, I'm kind of tired of this section right now with the pissy pd haters. I'm gonna break from it for now)

So there is a sly chance of a 3rd, not taking from what NDB said but if they do raise some more money or not we either get: 1. A normal turtles 3, 2. turtles 3 but its less turtle-centric, 3. semi normal or something but it takes quite a while for it to come out, or 4. gg rip.

There ought to be someone who replies saying NUMBER FAWR PLIZ

So don't bother neato (or anybody else who doesn't want it for that matter)

(EDIT: also how much did the 1st movie completely make?)

It’s like poetry, it rhymes.

They spent twice as much on The Secrete of the Ooze as they did on the first movie and it made roughly half as much money – so in keeping with history I guess the only thing for PD to do would be to halve the budget, drop ILM, give the effects work to a much cheaper company, and set the movie in feudal Japan.

They can halve the budget, but they do have more than what they started with in the first movie so there still could be a bit more turtle time if there (hopefully) is a third one.

(insert warning about me saying hopefully here)

The beginning is the end my friend… make the Turtles look worse and only render Splinter from the waist up.

*Panda_Kahn_fan* · 07-07-2016, 07:58 PM

Seriously, if Chinese firms invest in a another TMNT film, do a reboot; origin and shredder battle as flashback in beginning, and do Rat King, Leatherhead, and Slash as the villains. And since Fan Bingbing is a TMNT fan and wants to be in on a film, let her play Lotus Blossom.
