This is actually sad to read. The man is in full denial. Next he will be seen saying that they will do 6 more Star Trek sequels lmao.

the last Star Trek didn't even double its budget worldwide. TF5 will definitely be more successful than that. 

[WrathOfHan]

I question if Bumblebee is even making 30M on OW  It has the makings of a movie better than Bay's, but nobody cares about Transformers domestically. Gianopulos probably knows that it shouldn't have a budget higher than 150M.

5.5 is pretty good for a preview number for a Tuesday night, right?

[MikeQ]

Is this being designated as the weekend thread or is there a weekend thread out there I can't seem to find?

Can someone direct me to the weekend thread if this isn't it? Can't find it on mobile. Thank you!

Peace,
Mike

They aren't even making the Transformers movies with the US in mind really, it'll still made a nice profit.

 

Not sure how truth that is, the american toy market is special and ridiculous by capita versus the rest of the planet:

A company like Hasbro in particular, in 2014  47.7% of the world sales were in the US (so I would imagine more than half were from the domestic market)

Those movie tend to have american actor, american flags everywhere, the USA being a major part of were the story happen, US military, etc..., it is Bay auteurship but it is also having those market in mind and product placement having the US market in mind.

Cars 3's performance:

 

King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword's performance:

 

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales' performance:

 

Snatched's performance:

 

The Mummy's performance (DOM, at least):

I will only believe it when I actually sit down in a theater and watch it. Not even trailers and pictures from them filming it can convince me it moved forward.

Not sure a low budget Transformer movie make much sense, it is a franchise that is a bit inherently costly, or you get something like the last power rangers movie.

do you know if Paramount makes any money from the toys? AT least the ones directly based on the movie?

Cool cool, thank you! But also this is the Tuesday numbers thread right?

Deadline has early Wednesday projections for Transformers - do we discuss that here even though it would be Wednesday numbers and there is no weekend thread until Friday?

Peace,

TF5 is collapsing in practically every overseas market so far. Good riddance.

[John Marston]

maybe they'll do that Transformers/GI Joe crossover next with The Rock and Wahlberg starring.

obviously not very good for Transformers. Guess people are finally tired of the franchise. I can still see them going forward with the next one since Paramount doesn't have much. They will probably move it to some more empty month and control the budget. 

Or maybe they will  decide to cut their losses.It could go either way.
