I will make a lot of people irationally angry right now but frankly weather this movie does gangbusters money and is the most profitable movie of the year, or if it fails horribly and makes 0$ it won't matter in the end, because the franchise as whole will suffer in the long run.

I am also a transformers fan, this year is the 10th anniversary of Bayformers and frankly the franchise isn't in any better shape than it was back in 2007 in fact I think that it's in worse shape.

If the movie is a massive success it won't be a sudden renaissance of Power Rangers making everyone's wildest dreams come true like how some people think. The people in charge will see the movie as a success and will go "hey the movie is making money why not make everything else like the movie for more money". So they fill first continue to make more movies. Then suddenly every stupid idea the movies came up with, every weird design choice the movie had will be forced into every other part of the franchise. Like with how now Bumblebee will forever be the most important character in the entire franchise and will always be a pimped out muscle car. The movie aesthetic will become the dominant aesthetic for every Power Rangers thing for ages to come.
Like with Transformers the lines that were meant to be homages to old toys and characters will be gone and instead replaced with figures that are more like the movies. The comics will be rebooted to make them look and read more like the movie. All of the next shows will be written and made to look more like the movies. Every other aspect of the franchise will cease to exists or hold any meaning except for the movies as the movies becomes the sole driving force for everything. So if you are not completely and utterly in love with the movie the next 10+ years will be torture.

Eventually the public and fans will get sick of it and at best the movies will keep going forever while the fans maybe get a few new figures based ONLY on Mighty Morphin and maybe a new comic book based again ONLY on Mighty Morphin and ultimately nothing will be different than it is now.

If the movie fails well frankly again nothing change. There won't be any more attempts at revitalizing the franchise. It will just keep on trucking the way it is now, as a trainwreck of neo-Saban desperately trying to recreate Mighty Morphin again or just doing 1 to 1 awful localization of Sentai. We'll still get some ok-ish vintage nostalgia-bait toys and a decent comic but that's about it.

So really whatever happens for the hard-core Power Rangers fans who want the franchise to actually be something more well that's all dead now thanks to the movie.
