Revenge of the Fallen: B+

Dark of the Moon: A

Age of Extinction: A-

The Last Knight: B+

Bumblebee: A-

As expected the accounting cops are here. Just when we thought this had over performed domestically compared to how bad its in korea and few other overseas markets. 

Overoerforming to its lousy tracking but underperformed to a movie with a 200 million dollar budget

Bumblebee and Age of Extinction having the same score is a crime

So Deadline basically nailed early estimates. Going to have two movies over ~$57M, but neither looking to top $60M 

 

Still a fantastic opening relative to expectations and second week hold, respectively

Spidey should win the weekend by a tiny margin.

This would also mean the top two movies have combined $100M+ in grosses alone, in the end the theaters are the real winners this weekend.

Need Barbie and Oppy to do this later in July

I mean even if the raw numbers aren't the best I can see a sequel if the general reception for Transformers is very positive. Paramount are still short on bankers for franchises.

ROTB -6.7/10.

Started great and then it was ok and fell into a generic third act that had me rolling my eyes at times.

 

Acting was great and the two co leads are great but the movie doesn't know what to do with them the further the movie progresses.

 

Enjoyed some mini arcs but wish some autobots were developed more. Pete Davidson was a standout though.

 

Action was well shot .

 

Overall there was actually a pretty good story here but along the way they decided to play it alittle to safe and in the end IMO the movie sort of failed to curve out an identity .

 

Did a rewatch of the series before watching ROTB ,ranking goes like this

 

Transformers 2007

Dark of the moon

Bumble bee

Age of extinction

Rise of the beasts

Revenge of the fallen

The last knight.

I'm guessing 16.8 for Trans and 16.4 for ATSV since charlie tweeted 16.5/16.2 respectively earlier but I'd also like some clarification.

[Mulder]

High 50s would be a win as I said earlier considering how bad it was looking, but with international looking really bad I don't think it's enough to quite celebrate.

If Flash underperforms, then It will be 2 months between big global hits.

MI7 in the mix too with its 2nd weekend. Should be a great weekend for theaters. Might have issues with the allocation of screens though which is kinda a bad and good issue in a sense.

Gentle reminder that theatrical is just the first part of the financial gross for films. Always has been. 
 

Transformers has overperformed domestically which ever way you slice it, there was a possibility it could do $30-40m just a few weeks ago.

SV2 more than doubling the gross of the first film makes it a big global hit.

Couldn't or shouldn't Flash and Elemental combine for 100M+ DOM OW next weekend too?

They should unless they both underperform immensely.
