Fans of the two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films will be disappointed with a recent interview Producer Andrew Form gave indicating that there most likely will not be a third installment in the series.
Speaking with Collider, Form indicated that he'd love to make more films but that it most likely would not happen. According to Form, he stated that "I don’t think there’s Turtles 3, but I wouldn’t say there’s never going to be another Turtles movie". The comments came regarding a question on the film's box office revenue, which had decreased dramatically from the first one. The original made 493 million worldwide with Out of the Shadows only bringing in about 245 million total.
Form continued by saying how they wanted to make a proper sequel while adding in characters familiar to the franchise in order to maintain proper continuity.
Even before the movie came out, we were feeling great. And you wake up two days before the movie opens and you go, “Wow, I don’t know if this movie is tracking as well as it should.” Then you hope, and then Thursday night happens and your midnights come in and you’re like, “That’s not what Movie 1 did,” and then sure enough your weekend comes and it’s nowhere near what anyone thought, and it’s nowhere near Movie 1, and, before you know it, it’s over. We’re still so proud of the movie; it just didn’t find an audience. We really don’t know why.
To be honest I am a bit surprised that there won't be a third installment in the film series. The Nickelodeon cartoon is huge right now with its 5th season continuing on November 6th. Beebop, Rocksteady, Baxter Stockman, Casey Jones and the Krang are all major characters in the cartoon and were used in the film. Also, let's be honest and admit that although we loved the original films, that these version of Beebop and Rocksteady were much better than the originals. There are a lot of other characters they can use with Karai, Tiger Claw, Shinigami and even Mark Hamill's newly voiced character Hot Head.
