Transformers: The Last Knight experienced a massive Friday-to-Friday drop-off at the box office in China.
Major changes and improvements may be necessary to turn the Transformers franchise around before the drop-off proves too big to overcome.
The market is typically a huge moneymaker for the franchise, as the previous installment, Age of Extinction, raked in about $320 million in China alone.
In fact, Age of Extinction made more in China than it did domestically, where it raked in $245 million.
