Bay is innocent.
Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts being lame and the unappealing art style of TF1 are at fault.

I will go to watch transformers a third time because I want more movies like that to be made.
It has tons of potential and it would be a shame if the story is left there.

Boy, you weren't kidding. This in particular is hilarious.

Well yeah, exactly, but now is the time to bring it back. I'm not saying transformers should go away forever.

So looking at the marketing everywhere it's going to need over 400, and good luck!
I saw Never let go today, that deserved to be a hit.
They do not need to put any franchise on ice for a decade. That's insane and I don't understand why people keep suggesting that when audiences have turned around on franchises in shorter times with one film.
It's about executing a correct new relaunch. If you do that properly, audiences will come.

Whoever approved that budget deserves to be fired. What a miscalculation.

Sorry if what i'm asking is wrong. (I'm not american.)
So joker 1 was for incels right ? And 2 is for nobody not incels nor for women and lgbtqa+ and normal people?

I'm also curious based on the last few pages as well lol. I will never watch it
The trailer for this looked just as bad if not worse than early Bayformers
So, the Joker movie released in South Korea already... and it got a D- cinemascore, which the the worst WOM for a blockbuster there in years.... oof.
Since Transformers isn't owned by Paramount I doubt they could do that without losing the license.
If Paramount won't make Transformers films Hasbro will find someone else who will.
Joker is apparently getting the equivalent of an F CinemaScore in South Korea
Bay pretty much took Transformers to an entirely different level popularity wise and brought the franchise to a mainstream audience again. I don't like any of those movies but he saved the franchise from falling into complete niche obscurity if anything
I just saw Transformers One today with my younger brother and his friend. A darn good time and beautifully animated. Hemsworth did a great job as Optimus.
It's infuriating. I don't want to hear a damned "Durr hurr another sequel/Garfield movie??" out of you if you didn't show up for an original movie that was funny, emotional and a near 100% critical darling.
Yeah, people hate on those movies, but those movies were very popular and successful, and were critic proof for a long time. It wasn't until Transformers: The Last Knight when things started going south...
Diddy and Marilyn Manson are up for the roles respectively
And even with The Last Knight, I don't know if you could blame it on that movie specifically. It was bad but not in a way that was worse than its predecessors. I think someone in the last thread pointed out that the domestic take for the series was already on the decline after peaking with Revenge of the Fallen. The Last Knight is just when international audiences followed suit.
Fast & the Furious is headed on a very similar trajectory.
The issue with One is marketing and the designs. The initial marketing sold a very young skewing film and the designs back that up. As for the live action films, they gotta make up their mind. If they're rebooting: new designs. You can't kinda sorta maybe reboot when it looks exactly the same as the Bay films. To the uninitiated, it's just a continuation of a franchise they got tired of a decade ago.
Fuck, I can't even come up with a response to that one. You got me.
Don't know why they deviated so much from the first one. This should've been a slam dunk
I'm really curious as well, though I don't necessarily want to spoil it lol
JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX Has Nothing To Laugh About Based On Opening Weekend Box Office Projections
This has Joker 2 at 55-60 million domestic(could be just 50 million as previously reported) and 140 million WW for opening weekend.
That's...not great, more so if mixed WOM catches up to it.

New designs may help but I think a bigger issue for the live action films is that they need to completely reboot the franchise. You have the OG Bay trilogy with Shia, then two continuations with Wahlberg that try to spin off and go in different directions, a Bumblebee solo soft reboot movie and then a partial continuation of the Bayverse & Bumblebee timelines with Rise of the Beasts.
And now Paramount wants a GI Joe crossover with Transformers? There's seemingly no real plan in place.
TLK wasn't great but I think Bay/Hasbro/Paramount creating that writers room where different writers pitched original Transformers movie ideas was great on paper and that's the trajectory they should have stayed on or at least stuck with a bit longer.

Joker overseas is a very mixed bag.

Domestic presales aren't impressing anybody keeping track of it. $50~$55M domestic OW is *very* optimistic.
