>Paramount and Hasbro’s “Transformers: The Last Knight” has generated a moderate $15.7 million in first-day business Wednesday in North America, signaling a launch in the $65 million range for the first five days.
>The domestic launch at 4,069 sites of the fifth Transformers film came in somewhat below studio forecasts, which had been about $70 million for the Wednesday-Sunday period. With a production cost of $217 million, “Transformers: The Last Knight” is a high-stakes bet that’s dependent on its overseas performance to wind up with a profit.
>It’s opening day number is also below that of any other movie in the modern franchise. The 2007 original grossed $36.6 million when it opened on a Tuesday. 2009’s “Revenge of the Fallen” earned $62 million on a Wednesday, and 2011’s “Dark of the Moon” — also launched on a Wednesday — brought in $37.7 million. “Age of Extinction,” the most recent installment before “Last Knight” opened on a Friday to $41.9 million.
Is this finally it, /tv/? Are this shitty movies finally dead? Will capeshit go down the same road?

>tfw old enough to remember when Transformers was a box office hit
>>84184952
The films are VA masterpieces
Everyone single person here with taste and actual high cinematic IQ has known this since the first one came out
>>84185039
That was literally just 3 years ago.
>>84185039
kids these days, they don't know

Thank you based China
Can you imagine how horrible it would be if this somehow made less than King Awful?
>>84185068
that's le joke
>Autobots killed Hitler
>Witwicky family is descended from Merlin
ABSOLUTE kino
>for months /tv/ said wonder woman would get eaten alive by bayformers
Are you contrarians right about anything?
>>84184763
No, because China and all the foreigners are going to save it. Why is the rest of the world such plebs compared to America?
I honestly only watch Transformers for the robot growls. They make me jizz everytime
1>3>4>2
I have no idea where Last Knight will end up. One and three are actually decent so definitely behind those.
>>84185164
We're right that tasteless /v/edditors are the ones spamming pleb trash on /tv/ and have for the last 4ish years>>381019174
>>84185209
play metal gear
>open on a Wednesday
>doesn't make as much as a weekend opening
wow it's almost as if people have work or something
Having Marky Mark as a scientist was a mistake.
Fuck Michael Bay and get ready for the first actual Transformers live action kino in existence.

>produced by a director that's actually competent
>set in the 1980s
>compared to The Iron Giant
>going back to designs that aren't just a mangled mess of sharp metal parts
Well it's the last movie yea?
I like the idea. Optimus is the big bad and Megatron not only saving the earth but also being the big bad. The reluctant villain becomes the savior
>>84185286
Are you stupid? It made less than a previous Tuesday AND Wednesday opening
2bh its because they released it on a Wednesday instead of a Friday. The film was really entertaining, but it's an acquired taste just like the 4th one. For me, I started off liking the 1st but hating the rest. Then I rewatched the them and look past whats on the screen and appreciate Bay's shooting style and how he can intentionally go all out crazy on humor and action. He knows its ridiculous, it like those Crank movies. Bay's a genius.
>Giving a shit about domestic box office when it's gonna make 5 times that in foreign returns
>>84184952
They're Kino, fuck the ''critics''
>>84184763
They want it to fail because it doesn't have some SJW message
>>84185691
hahahah ikr fuck them """experts""" who want things like """substance""" and """a cohesive story""" in a film like jargon hahahaha
>>84184814
thank you for saving cinema, based commies
>>84185201
The Chinese probably are robots. Of course they are going to see it!
>>84185884
the fuck is this?
>>84185812
its like when Jurassic Park fans argue with scientists for ruining their childhood
Was it /m/kino?
>>84185121
forgot that according to Anthony Hopkins character Sam is dead too
>>84185367
Having Optimus Prime be onscreen less than 20 mins in a 3 hour movie was a bigger one
Transformers will be a success still. Eat shit """"critics"""".
Good, it's absolutely horrible. I truly hated it.
Reminder vulgar auteur posters are pretty much pretentious plebs. Your average pleb who likes this garbage would just say "I like the action, bro", the pretentious plebs like these flicks for the exact same reason but instead of simply saying "I like the action, bro" they incoherently ramble about Bay's cinematography. These flicks have as much thematic depth as a car commercial but apparently that doesn't matter because "MUH VULGAR AUTEURISM! MUH FLASHY VISUALS!"
>>84188541
t. first year film school student
US box office doesn't matter. Most of the profits of these movies come from outside the US.
>>84188596
First year film students are the ones who regurgitate this vulgar auteurism bullshit. Instead of acting like a pretentious faggot just admit you like explosions.
>>84184952
Michael "the saviour of cinema" Bay
>>84184763
Fucking finally. This franchise should have been buried for five years and rebooted with better writers and a better director after Revenge of the Fallen.
>>84184952
Kind of. mostly ironically.
Transformers are really cool to hate, every single entry level pleb rants about it being the worst thing ever, despite orgasming over marginally better shit. Being contrarian makes some sense here, because this is really annoying.
