Transformers One Box Office Prediction: Will It Flop or Succeed?

by

As a long-time Transformers enthusiast who can still recall the thrill of watching the original 1986 animated movie, I must say that the prediction for Transformers One fills me with a sense of nostalgic excitement! With Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson lending their voices to this upcoming animated film, it’s clear that the franchise has not lost its star power.

As Transformers One approaches its release in September, fans are eagerly anticipating its projected box office performance and whether it will turn out to be a hit or miss. Featuring the voices of Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, and Scarlett Johansson alongside others, Transformers One is set to introduce the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron. The movie delves into their transformation from inseparable friends to fierce adversaries.

Here’s our forecast on the box office performance for Transformers One, along with insights into whether the movie might underperform or thrive.

How much is Transformers One expected to make at the box office?

Transformers One is expected to make between $40-$50 million on opening weekend.

As a gamer, I’ve just learned that the estimated opening weekend earnings for this game are quite impressive compared to other September releases. It’s way beyond Universal’s Speak No Evil, which is projected to earn between $12 and $20 million. Even Lionsgate’s The Killer’s Game, with its $5-10 million estimate, doesn’t come close. But it’s important to note that it falls significantly short of the anticipated opening weekend earnings for Warner Bros.’ Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which is expected to make a whopping $85-115 million!

To put it another way, Transformers One’s opening weekend earnings, which were between $40-50 million, are similar to those of Transformers: The Last Knight from 2017. Interestingly, they are higher than Bumblebee (from 2018) and The Transformers: The Movie (from 1986). However, when compared to the opening weekends of Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon, Age of Extinction, and Rise of the Beasts, Transformers One’s earnings are lower.

Here is a list of the released Transformers films’ opening weekend figures: (via Box Office Mojo)

  • The Transformers: The Movie (1986) – $1.7 million
  • Transformers (2007) – $70 million
  • Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) – $108 million
  • Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) – $97 million
  • Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) – $100 million
  • Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) – $44 million
  • Bumblebee (2018) – $21 million
  • Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) – $61 million

In more modern times, Transformers One marks the first animated film in the series since 1986’s The Transformers: The Movie. Given its projected budget of $40-$50 million, this upcoming release appears quite promising when considering its opening weekend earnings compared to the 1986 movie.

Will Transformers One flop or succeed?

Transformers One could succeed at the box office.

An intriguing animated movie is in the pipeline, boasting big-name stars such as Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson on board. This may significantly boost its chances at the box office, as their numerous fans might be enticed to catch it in the cinemas.

Apart from being the initial animated film since 1986’s The Transformers: The Movie, it also delves into the backstory of Optimus Prime and Megatron. This could offer a refreshing take for longtime Transformers fans, potentially sparking their curiosity and encouraging them to watch the movie. Consequently, this interest could boost its box office performance, contributing to its overall success.
