After just three weeks in theaters, Transformers one has finally reached a major global milestone. The Transformers The franchise is easily one of the highest-grossing film series, with a combined total of $5.28 billion. however, Transformers one has been struggling at the box office since its release in September, debuting at $24.6 million domestically. This is in contrast to the movie’s budget of $ 75-147 millionMaking it one of the most disappointing box office results this year despite the film garnering almost unanimous positive reviews from critics and audiences.
Recently, Term reported that Transformers one has now made $111.4 million at the global box office. Of that total, approximately $52.8 million came domestically, with the film currently ranked at no. 6 on the box office chart. The international total is $58.5 million, although the film won’t be released in France until October 23.
Why Transformer One is unlikely to become a box office success
It has yet to reach breakeven
unfortunately, Transformers one Became the latest victim of being a highly acclaimed movie that failed to perform at the box office. Much of this can be attributed to the franchise’s inconsistency with their live-action movies, ranging from critically mixed to poorly reviewed. The trend seems clear, given that last year Rise from the animals Barely passed breakeven with $441 million globally. Still, this disappointment is baffling, granted Transformers one Became one of the best reviewed movies in the franchiseWith an 88% critical score and a near perfect 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

With the higher range of the reported budget at $147 million, Transformers one would need at least $300 million to reach breakeven Point. This is unlikely to happen as the animated film has already reached one month in theaters, and there will be more competition with the release of Smile 2 And Venom: The Last Dance. The film is also reaching its last legs in theaters, where even a few additional international markets will not make a difference in lifting its box office total. Therefore, many outlets have already deemed the movie a box office bomb.
Our take on Transformers One reaching $111 million globally
This movie deserves better
I am disappointed that a great movie like Transformers one endured such losses at the box office. It is easily the best Transformers movie in the franchise due to the visual effects, the tragic backstory of Optimus and Megatron, and the violent action sequences. However, I hope that even the poor box office will not hinder the potential to explore this rich story. I would like to see a sequel that shows where the Transformers one Characters go further in Cybertron. However, there is still some time for redemption through streaming, which I believe is where it will find its audience, and word of mouth will drive the encouragement.
