SAY IT ISN'T SO!!
For those of us who were still hopeful that a new instalment of the Power Rangers rebooted franchise would be green lit, apparently, this will not be happening any time soon.
Due to not so favorable box office outcomes in China <which apparently, the Asian countries were the saving grace for the film, since domestically it didn't do so well> and Japan, which executives were betting their money on for the film to exceed the amount expect for the possibility of having more installments.
According to the article on Screen Rant:

The mixed review of the film also did not help with the decision from the executives, for now, shelve any other future film in the franchise.
The reviews from different articles either liking or hating it, had an impact, but nothing had the biggest impact than $$$$. At the end of the day, the earnings spoke louder.

I'm truly hoping that there is some way that the future of the rebooted franchise can be salvaged. I for one seriously enjoyed the movie. I loved how they kept many elements from the 90s show, gave it a new spin, but also updated the film to reflect 2017. It was incredibly inclusive because they had LGBT representation, autistic/asperger visibility, diversity in the cast, and yes, I know that those things alone aren't enough to drive a movie, let alone a franchise, but I think for a first installment, the story line was good.
Yes, it could have been better, but what film is perfect in technicality and story line? But I think it had possibility to evolve, grow into a better franchise, with better scripts and story lines. The potential was there, but now, if no other production companies are going to be willing to pick it up, I guess we will never know.

I honestly think, that it deserves to be saved, and I'm still hopeful that maybe one day, the executives can see that this franchise is worth saving.
So for now, I guess I'll be one of the few people who will be waiting for the film to be released on DVD and let's see if this is truly the end of the Power Rangers.
What do you think, is the franchise worth saving? Let me know in the comments below!!
