In the midst of a competitive month for movies, marked by epic box office battles, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts emerged victorious. The seventh installment in the Transformers live-action franchise secured another $14.9 million from 65 markets worldwide this weekend. With a total international gross of $245.2 million and a global earnings of $381.3 million, the film continues to soar. Notably, the movie experienced a mere 43% drop in box office revenue between weekends, a remarkable feat considering it completed its fourth week of release.
In a remarkable feat, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts has also claimed the title of the second highest grossing film in Peru, raking in $13.1 million. This achievement holds significance as parts of the film were shot in Peru. Although these numbers pale in comparison to the franchise’s peak popularity during Paramount’s heyday, particularly considering the reported $200 million budget, the Transformers franchise still possesses a flicker of its former glory. While it may not reach the heights of the previous film, Bumblebee, which amassed $467 million worldwide, Rise of the Beasts is expected to cross the $400 million mark. As a result, it will likely generate a modest profit once its theatrical run concludes. Although not a resounding success, the film has outperformed numerous other releases in June, a tumultuous period marked by a diverse range of competing movies. Transformers survived the ordeal, but only time will determine if its performance is enough to greenlight another sequel.
What Lies Ahead for Transformers?
The post-credit scene effectively sets the direction for the next chapter in the Transformers franchise, teasing a potential crossover with G.I. Joe. Given that both franchises are owned by Hasbro, this development appears to be a logical progression. G.I. Joe’s cinematic history has been turbulent, particularly in the live-action realm. While the two franchises have previously crossed paths in various mediums, the potential realization of this cinematic event could revitalize the struggling G.I. Joe series. Transformers, with recent successes like Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts, has been on an upward trajectory. Positive word-of-mouth has bolstered the franchise in recent months, leaving fans eagerly awaiting news about the next live-action Transformers film.
