So how's Transfivers 5 doing in the box office?

Also, why ARE these movies so financially successful to begin with? Whats so loving special about transformers? Yeah it was hot poo poo back in the 80s and a lot of folks who were kids at the time loved it and are now adults with disposable income, but that isnt unique to Transformers. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtels and Mighty morphin power rangers were also huge among kids in their own time (early to mid 1990s) but their movies havent been nearly as successful. And yet the Transformers movies have been raking in almost a billion dollars each. Why?

According to Box Office Mojo, it was #1 this weekend, but a franchise low opening.

quote:

Paramount's Transformers: The Last Knight took the #1 spot this weekend as expected, but that opening was the lowest the franchise has seen thus far by a rather significant margin as a lot of attention will now turn toward the film's international run. Meanwhile, WB's Wonder Woman is still tearing up the box office as it has now become the highest grossing release within the DC Extended Universe and it is showing little sign of stopping.

Only one of the previous four Transformers features opened on a Wednesday and that was 2011's Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the third feature in the now five-film franchise, and it debuted with $162.6 million over its first five days in release, $97.8 million of that from the three-day weekend. By contrast, Transformers: The Last Knight brought in a mere $69.1 million over its first five days in release, an estimated $45.3 million of which over the three-day weekend. While this is relatively on par with the $70 million industry expectations, it puts added pressure on the $217 million production's international run.

More came out on Lord and Miller getting canned from the Han Solo movie.

Apparently they spent a ton of time improving on set and Kathleen Kennedy saw the dailies and hired an acting coach for the lead mid-production because he sucked so much.

Y'all, the Han Solo movie is going to be a loving disaster.

INT. MILLENIUM FALCON

HAN: Oh boy, Chewie, we're gonna have to make this KESSEL RUN really fast in order to please our crime boss, JABBA THE HUTT.

(Han looks at camera and waits for applause to die down)

CHEWIE: (Wookie noises)

(We see the ship go faster and faster as a display panel reading "Parsecs" counts slowly up)

HAN: The ship can't handle anything more than 11 parsecs!

(Panel goes up to 12 parsecs)

HAN: I have a bad feeling about this!

Jar Jar is the key to all of this.

quote:

Hot Rod is a French accented race car TF who has the power and touch to stop time into slow motion while hitting on pretty human ladies and leaping about kicking rear end. The whole series is a silly 300 million dollar cartoon with depth of subversion of American ideals and film making that is expressed in cynical underlying menace and hate yet is glorious to behold.

And Bumblebee was in WWII and Hopkins remembers him from when he was a kid.

I'm pretty sure Michael Bay is a top 5 director on earth today. He gets so much so right and while the first Transformers was a straightforward conventional film I am happier it went to the directions it did.

So when it gets delayed, it'll come out around Christmas like the rest of them.

Except this time it'll get delayed to recast the lead and reshoot the whole loving thing, so I guess it'll come out May 2019.
