I'm having trouble trying to find online any figures on how much the movie made last night. I'd be curious to know. boxofficemojo just posted Thursday estimates, and TF:TM wasn't on there, sometimes movies are added later, but if anyone has any stat references, this would be appreciated. Just wondering if it was a profitable enough to warrant any future screenings.
I wouldn't imagine such findings would be readily (if at all) available for such small-scaled limited special event releases like this, since this release wasn't intended to make a profit like any normal film release is; rather, this was just a special commemoration event coupled with hype-building for the next major film release.
My city only had two theaters showing the film and we didn't have a showing until they added additional theaters.

The one I choose wasn't even half full.

How was the turn out elsewhere?

Only people who will choose see this movie are people who know about transformers fan sites such as this one and family’s who have kids that watch cartoons not many adults I know will watch cartoons and read comics but they are happy and proud to say to see live action movies of transformers I say under million possibly thousand I don’t know how many theaters this movie was playing in to give good estimate

None of what you said has anything to do with the availability/accessibility of box office estimates (which is what o. supreme was talking about).

My Theater was "comfortably full". That is, not every seat was filled, but it still felt crowded. Sound aside, I had a good time. It felt almost like a Con afterwards, the c9mraderie and the stories. I listened to one group of guys who mentioned how all og tjier kids have baby pictures next to Fort Max; or why timr they got here, and when I mentionwd I was almost there and decided to check Target for new Bee toys and a hunch of people tuened around and asked If I found anything. (No, but Novastar was at Wal-Mart). Outside, someone driving shouted Till all Are One to a groupof us chatting, and another group talking about how we were going to have hoverboards by 2005 and a lady said "I forgot the kids name", eberyone shouted Daniel, and I said "Well clearly she's a Decepticon." to a round of laughter. And the guy who when he saw it in 86, at age 7 turned to his Mom in theater and asked her what "Fatal" meant. It made me miss Botcons and talking with Transfans. And sound aside, it was awesome getting to see it on a screen bigger than my Laptop. Would I do it again? in a heartbeat

Wonderful anecdotes like this make me almost wish I had decided to go out and see the movie it last night, if nothing else than for that kind of fan interaction. But I'm just so burned out on this movie from having seen it a million times over already that I just didn't feel compelled to go.

Nor was I willing to risk potentially running into the kind of fans who only prefer G1 and deride all else that came after it, as I know all too good and well that my city has a sizable number of fans of that bitter kind, and past experiences of trying to engage in civil conversations with such fans have not been pleasant.

I'd say including my group there were 9 people in the theater. No poster, no trivia which wouldn't have been that bad if it wasn't for the fact I felt they used the non remastered version of the movie. It just looked off from the Blu-ray.

Boxofficemojo had figures for My Hero Academia, which was also a limited release, though it was more than one day, still -They do have figures for smaller, limited releases, also those figures MUST be somewhere,

there are movie critics, that are able to get figures for movies that play only on ONE SCREEN in big cities like NY & LA.

I;m sure it made somewhere in the hundred-thousands range for a single evening, BOMJ has BO results for turnouts much less than that, but they don't seem to show TF:TM for some reason...
Bucket/Want List: Botcon 2016 Customization Class Ratchet (G2 Deco), or Customization Class Ratchet (Marvel Comics Deco) **would also be willing to pay for an Unpainted Botcon 2016 Ratchet, TT Legends Fortress Head (only) with working Electronics
