Once those international box office reports start flowing in, then we’ll have a better idea of whether Transformers: The Last Knight will still underperform or do just as well, if not better, than its predecessors.
These numbers certainly don’t bode well for Transformers: The Last Knight, but for the hardcore Transformers fans out there who are worried the movie’s chances of financial success are shot, not to worry.
To give you an idea of just how popular these movies are overseas, of the $1.1 billion Transformers: Age of Extinction grossed globally, $858 million of that came internationally.
This series has performed best internationally, and while the fifth Transformers entry opened in select countries, like South Korea and the Philippines, at the same time has the U.S. received it, it’s opening in many other countries either today or tomorrow.
