Fuck that.  I want the entire recreation of the Bible with Transformers.  Make it a TV miniseries if you must.

 

Nope need some big budget effects.  And when that kills the box office...

 

Transformers: The Book of Mormon.  Sure, it's a spinoff.

I'm not saying it shouldn't get made because of people's hate against the franchise or anything but considering TF5 underperformed, spin off movies might not be a good idea 

[filmlover]

This will move. Gonna get slaughtered if they stick with that release date.

[kayumanggi]

So this is still happening?

[DMan7]

Like I've said they can do this like the Iron Giant, they can even get Vin Diesel to voice Bumblebee.

She's the little girl that famously cried when she got eliminated from The X Factor several years ago, isn't she?

 

edit: yep, she is.

Thinking a Mummy type run sounds right. 80M domestic 375M WW

[a2k]

Not surprised this would get made. After the tax-credits I don't think the budget will be above 130-140.

 

TF5 could end up with 135 dom + 230 China + 225 OS-China = 590 (2.7 * 220 prod budget)

Bumblebee could do 90 dom + 150 China + 140 OS-China = 380 (2.7-2.9x * 130-140 prod budget)

 

Combined with one or more of these factors would make the movie lucrative:

-auxiliary revenue, especially merchandising sales

-the movie's release bumping auxiliary revenue of previous TF movies (eg: bump in bluRay sales of old TF movies as new ones get marketed)

-the possibility of the movie being well received by fans of old TFs leading to one more movie

-the movie exploding in one market and showing steadiness in China by doing say 150+

 

So makes sense they are going ahead with this.

Crazy how rotf made over 400m (could've made even more if as well received as the first. I liked it but realize it generally wasn't as well liked as the first) and now this could very likely end up under 100m.

[Cookson]

30m/85m DOM + 105m CHINA + 100m OS = 290m WW

 

TLK fell HARD and this will do the same as a spin-off. Hope they keep the budget around 100-120.

This is probably gonna be better than all the Bay films, yet I just don't care.
