Megan Fox at the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Premiere in Seoul
Despite critics taking huge dumps on the film, ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ is cruising to gross $250 million at the box-office—not bad for a film that had a production budget of around $125 million. Believe it or not, but two days following it’s release on August 10, “Paramount announced that a sequel will be released on June 3, 2016, with Michael Bay returning as producer and Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec coming back as screenwriters.”
Just for the sake of a cheap laugh, in order to give you guys a taste of the negative reviews (not that anyone who watches ‘TMNT’-like films in theaters ever reads reviews), here’s a snippet from Wikipedia:
The film was met with generally negative reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 20% based on 99 reviews. The site’s critical consensus reads: “Neither entertaining enough to recommend nor remarkably awful, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may bear the distinction of being the dullest movie ever made about talking bipedal reptiles.”[105] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 34 out of 100, based on 30 critics, indicating “generally unfavorable reviews”. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film a B grade on a scale of A to F. [Source]
