A franchise-killing flop rebounds as one of Netflix’s biggest movies

Longtime fans may have shuddered at the prospect of Michael Bay being involved behind the scenes, and recoiled in horror when the terrifying title characters were revealed in all of their monstrous glory, but 2014’s live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was an unqualified success at the box office.

Despite being panned by critics, the heroes in a half shell rode a wave of nostalgia to $493 million globally, causing Paramount to launch a sequel into active development as soon as possible. As a result, Out of the Shadows arrived in theaters just 22 months later, and ended up killing the entire franchise stone dead.
