Official Colouring and Activity Pages for Transformers Rise of the Beasts Free for You to Print

Oh, the irony of the character people are nicknaming "Pablo" being the one who calls out another character in the movie for being racist.

But it was just perfect. Didn't have to worry about a bunch of people talking or on their phones or just ruining the experience. I had a great time. Fun movie. Definitely top 3 for me.

Seems like a top 3 for most people, including myself. I just don't know if I'd place it above or below the 2007 film. This has more Transformers "stuff" in it, nut the 2007 film did a good job at presenting this world on a real setting. It's not the ideal format for a Transformers film but it's still a well realized vision.

Wow even I thought it would hit $100M this weekend domestically and then make a 60%-70% drop next weekend allowing Spiderverse to maintain the number 2 spot while Flash takes #1. Such is the way of studios that continue to make half-@ssed, poorly written action films surrounded by other possibly better action films this Summer...

Wasn't even close to that. But at lest it beat out Spider-verse which was 50/50

It was a tight race but Transformers has claimed the number 1 box office spot for this week-end, both domestically and internationally. Domestically, it got 60 Million dollars compared to Spider-verse's 55 Million. However, it should be stated that Spider-verse outperformed Transformers during the actual week-end. The reason why Transformers ends up on top is due to the earlier showings during the week. The film also made 110 Million internationally (so everywhere other than the US and Canada) which gives it 170 Million in total. Also please note that it made 40 M in China showing that it's still a big market for the brand (however, Paramount/Hasbro see only 25% of revenue from Chinese theatres).

While these numbers aren't amazing as they once were, remember that Dark of the Moon opened to 97 M domestically, the numbers do show that whatever stain there may have been in the past which lead to disappointing returns for The Last Knight and Bumblebee might be in the past. The domestic numbers are 3 times what they were for Bumblebee 5 years ago, proving that there is still a a demand from these films, and not just from fans. The reason these numbers surpass industry estimates is due to the higher number of tickets that were bought on the spot in proportion to presale tickets (which are largely purchased by fans), when compared to Super-hero movies. This means that Transformers really is in a league of its own, appealing to general movie goers rather than simply being backed by a big fanbase. And that happens to be exactly what Paramount was going for, with it's vague sense of continuity and choosing to not distance themselves too much from familiarity and the live action movie brand and aesthetic.

Another really important point is that the diversity angle did pay off. The film did heavily market its inclusion of people of colour and the breakdown of ticket sales shows that, domestically, it was people identifying as Hispanic which made up the largest viewership. This has never happened before for a Transformers film. Here is a full breakdown:

32% Hispanic
31% Caucasian
21% Black
16% Asian/Other

While this is all good news, no one can predict how the Flash will perform next week. Next week's box office performance will let us have a better idea of how strong this film's box gross can be and we'll keep you up to date on it.

[Quick to streaming] would be great news. Kiddo keeps saying he wants to see it, but I think it's more than he can handle in a theater. Slow to start (by 4yo standards) and I think Airazor's subplot will freak him the hell out. I'll need that pause button ready.

‘TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS’ is set to release on digital platforms on July 11

That has not been confirmed by the studio yet, and we do not know if it will be available globally or just in some markets on that day. We'll let you know when we have more info.

Heads up, your link is broken.

Thanks, fixed it

Post-Disney Marvel is straight-up garbage that doubles down way too hard on goofy comedy. Compare what's come out lately to the first Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and even The Incredible Hulk movie and it's just no contest.

Thor and Captain America 1 were both produced after Disney purchased Marvel.

And since Iron Man 2 was produced during the Disney purchase, that means Iron Man 1 and The Incredible Hulk were the only two MCU films produced and released completely before Disney bought Marvel.

The flash coming next week is probably going to squash it. It's a shame. Because all stuff with Keaton Batman looks great but Extra Miller is a creep and I'm not giving my support to anything with him.

I feel the same way, a shame WB didn't just drop the Flash aspects and just make a Batman Beyond movie with old man Keaton

I am SO torn on The Flash. On one hand, it looks good (but trailers always DO make these things look good), but Ezra Miller is such a sack of crap I'm not sure I want to support the movie (and by proxy, him). I have a feeling adding Michael Keaton was the only way they could have saved this movie from Ezra's sheer stupidity in the real world.
