The first half of the 2024 box office has been incredibly underwhelming for the movie industry. Films could not even crack the 100M mark domestically for their opening week/weekend. However, with the summer season came two big hits and they both happen to be animated films.
We have Inside Out 2 from Disney and Despicable me 4 from Universal and both have been strong right out of the gate, with Inside Out 2 on its way to become the highest grossing animated (looking) film in history, and inside out 2 being on par with previous opening in its own franchise, showing that it has yet to reach franchise fatigue. None of these films were events, their advantage was simply that they were family oriented films of well known current brands/characters/franchises. They are also helped by their release schedule, where school is out and theatre chains show movies all through the week during the day, creating an easy air conditioned outing for families and daycares/daycamps.
Now, I mention all this just to show that in times where Hollywood is unsure what movies can be successes, big Animated films seem to be the way to go. And the next big animated film is none other than Transformers One, which is getting mentioned during analyses of the current box office landscape (an example of such time can be seen in the Youtube video below). Like with Inside Out and Despicable Me, Transformers is a well known brand that is still current and well known by kids and families (unlike, say, Garfield). The continued success of the Despicable Me / Minions franchise also proves that humor can be very marketable to those same groups, which was an element of the first Transformers One trailer heavily criticized by older fans online. All these points show that Paramount and Hasbro may have read the market correctly when choosing to go the animated route for their next big Transformers film.
Another point to consider is that both Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me are out concurrently and both are making money, even though they attract the same market. This proves that there is enough interest (and wealth) from families that two animated films can prosper and one won't take business from the other (at least not to a significant degree). That point is extremely important for Transformers One since it will be "competing" with the Wild Robot on its second week-end at the box office.
The biggest difference between Transformers One and Inside Out / Despicable Me, however, is the season it's releasing. By being in the fall, when school begins, there are no family outings during week-days and week-ends become busier for families. To take full advantage of the shifting movie market, the film should have released in August, as no other animated movie opens that month and it could have taken advantage of summer vacation.
So, to recap, what works in it's favor when looking at the current box office landscape is:
- targeting families (the most successful movie market of 2024) with animation and humor
- being a well known current franchise
What might work against it:
- release date during school year
We'll see how much the box office for Transformers One differs from Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4 when September rolls around. It is currently slated for a September 20 release date in the US and other markets, though it is not opening everywhere on the globe concurrently.

It also helps that the next most interesting movie out right now is Thelma. A couple of weeks ago when my wife and I were having date night, we looked to see if there was a movie worth seeing and it was just inside out 2 (we wanted to watch that with the kids not on date night). Does the fall have such a dearth of movies?

It would be a lot like now. Aside from the Wild Robot, which I addressed in the article, you'd have had Beetlegeuse Beetlegeuse two weeks before and Joker two weeks later, but that one is an R rated film. There's also Wolfs with Clooney and Pitt in there but that's an Apple streaming film being put on the big screen and those have never been popular. And then the only other big movie is Venom a month later.

I so hope this Transformers movie is going to be good. Just fun and a competent story, not Mcmuffin hunting and everything else horrible.
The toys look promising. September right? It's almost time Transformers fans.
I just hope the Critical Drinker can be okay with it.

Idk how true it will be in the movie being successful, but I have to give credit to William for not calling out prior movies (other than the 1986 movie) in the article because I honestly expected it to be the case before reading it.

With Transformers One being a general prequel to the brand, Paramount and Hasbro have chosen to spoil the third act in their latest trailers. It really seemed like the upcoming Transformers One film would be taking place predominantly before the war between Autobots and Decepticons, but the new trailers (one for domestic market, the other international) veers right into that conflict as being the culminating climax. The new trailer shows us a lot of Optimus Prime and Megatron, which is their third form in the film.
We also have new posters which you can see below. The movie has now been seen by more people and the embargo for reactions is now over, so we will be doing a write uo of how well this movie has been received as well. Stay tuned.

Okay, this trailer is so much better than the first one shown and honestly does a way better job of showcasing the characters and showing their characterizations are both on point. I can definitely get behind this mow 110% and feel excited for it. Whatever trepidations and concerns I had are now gone thanks to this new trailer and the positive responses I have seen from others regarding this. So OK, now I am on board and sufficiently hyped.

Ugh, I wanna watch it again already. What a movie. Straight in as my fave of the 21st century TF movies. Brings the backstory and deep lore to life, has fun with it and puts on a show with real stakes, big emotions, and easter eggs galore. I need it on Blu-ray immediately cheers

I can't wait for everyone to see it. I really think and hope this can be something that unites all fans of this franchise.

The trailers don’t do this justice. Rich in character & emotion with a deep reverence for the lore, it tells the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron, tragically transforming once from brothers to enemies. Josh Cooley directed this animated film to perfection, down to the last comedic and action beat, all backed by an epic score & an excellent voice cast. One of the genuine surprises of the year for me

I’ve long thought the Transformers lore was goofy - this movie slapped me in the face and told me to sit down and listen. was locked in on everything regarding the Primes, Cybertron, and exactly how this world works. made me want to become a diehard fan. Keegan-Michael Key steals the show as Bumblebee. multiple legitimate laugh out loud moments from him. ScarJo and Hemsworth are welcomed surges of charisma as well, and Jon Hamm crushed as Sentinel Prime

I'll probably wind up seeing it eventually, and everyone knows - the Reaper's judgement is what REALLY matters! 
. Though saying that it's 'better than the live action movies' isn't exactly shooting for the moon, is it? The Bayverse films aren't what you'd call shining examples of quality cinema....

Yeah by the looks of it they're rushing the story a bit. I was hoping they wouldn't cram everything into one movie and save Megatron's full turn until the sequel. But I guess they thought a Prime vs. Megs fight was obligatory.
I'm also kinda hoping they throw a little extra in there and have them fight over Elita as much as leadership.

They want the clicks!
The pre-war story on Cybertron could fit in multiple movies, but I understand why they made the decision to make it like this.
While the Transformers franchise is overall doing well, making movies and counting on sequels before the current one is released and gauging the reaction to it, has hurted The Last Knight and to a certain extent, Rise of The Beasts.

Transformers One had a pretty big panel at SDCC 2024. Brian Tyree Henry, Keegan-Michael Key, Josh Cooley and Chris Hemsworth were there getting interviewed by pretty much everyone. We have a slew of videos for you below so you can get all that content in one spot, including their big panel. There's even a fun video of them doing their version of the Transformation Sound Effect.

While it made sense for Peter Cullen not to voice Orion Pax in the upcoming Transformers One movie, as he didn't voice Orion Pax in G1 either, it would have been fun to at least have him voice a different character. That's the route the Japanese dub of the movie has gone with making Tesshō Genda, the original voice of Convoy and Orion Pax (in Japan), be Alpha Trion. We also have Ryohei Kimura in the cast as B-127, who has been playing Bumblebee in all of the recent cartoons in Japan, as well as Yuichi Nakamura and Subaru Kimura from Jujutsu Kaisen. Those two will be playing Optimus and Megatron respectively.
You can check the full voice cast below, which was revealed on the official Japanese movie site.
Elita-1: Riho Yoshioka
Sentinel Prime: Junichi Suwabe
Airachnid: Ryoka Yuzuki
Darkwing: Toru Inada
Starscream: Setsuji Sato
Soundwave: Masataka Yamamoto
Shockwave: Takanori Hoshino
Jazz: Tomokazu Sugita
Yuichi Nakamura: Optimus Prime/Orion Pax
Subaru Kimura: D-16/Megatron
Ryohei Kimura: B-127/Bumblebee
Tesshō Genda: Alpha Trion
And Speaking of voice actors, Paramount released a featurette with the English voice actors, which you can see below. Enjoy!

Paramount's international campaign for the Transformers One film is revealing a lot. So, consider anything going forth a possible spoiler.
Paramount has released two clips, one for Brazil and one for Taiwan. The one for Taiwan is a trailer showing lots of new shots of Megatron (in his final form) fighting Optimus. The clip for Brazil is an uninterrupted sequence of the Iacon race. In it we see a lot fo cameos including Brawn, Red Alert, Ratchet, Arcee and Ironhide.
Enjoy!

Ah, nice to see the race position readout take name dropping into high gear.

LOL I don't mind getting a free movie now and then with a bit of a video splicing effort. Shouldn't all Transformers media be free since they exist to sell toys anyway!? Why not release the whole thing on YouTube already!

And they're poorer for it. The show was different, yes, but it's also good if you stick with it.
Going by this YT Playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... puNa1deWjV) quite a few of them got millions of views. But as long as the toy sales are meeting Hasbro's target, it's a success? (I don't know though. Did Hasbro make/lose money on Cyberverse? It got 4 seasons so can't be bad?)
I personally found the series a fun watch - better than RID'15 - I just don't like (not hating though) some of the designs, but it also brought Tarn to the mainstream and one of the best Volcanicus/Dinobots designs so mad credits to the series.
I'm ever an optimist. Even when a movie or series are legit "bad" (and there are many) it still carry the franchise forward. So as long as I see there are new/upcoming TF media to keep the franchise alive & relevant and the figures keep on coming, I'm happy even if some of them are not for me (I'm still on my 3rd attempt to read through IDW, but urgh it's tough for me).

Shame too, best TF show since Prime and Animated, and I would contest it can stand with both of them, especially seasons 3 and 4. That was some good TV.

We had posted a clip of the Iacon race from Transformers One but it was in Portugese. Now, Paramount has released it in English. This lets us hear what Jon Hamm sounds like as Sentinel Prime. For those who had not seen it yet, there are TONS of cameos here both in the visuals and as callouts, like Brawn, Red Alert, Ratchet, Arcee and Ironhide.

For me, the most disappointing movie was AoE.
The Dinobots were wasted and the
"shredded" transformation were dumb and lazy.
I think that for TF1 to be worse than any Bay movies, it would have to be done on purpose.

Paramount has released two clips, one for Brazil and one for Taiwan. The one for Taiwan is a trailer showing lots of new shots of Megatron (in his final form) fighting Optimus.

Enjoy!

We have casting news our own Jon Bailey is in Transformers One. He’ll be voicing Soundwave, who he voiced in the Bumblebee film. Jason Konopisos Will be voicing Shockwave and Evan Michael Lee will be voicing Jazz. They each revealed this on their respective social media.
We also have a clip of Shockwave talking if any are interested as to what that sounds like.

I've never seen Shockwave so.....emotive. Does not compute!
LOL, I'm not against it though. I'm not sure whether the VAs get to see the CG (even a rough "stickman" form, but still show enough of the motions of the characters) when recording the lines, but the emotive voiceworks match the movement on screen.

Idk about Shockwave but for what I worked on I got to see the film from early stages to finished animation. The original sessions there was nothing on screen or just animatics, all just recording the lines of the script with direction. I didn’t have to act to picture til the last session.

As for Shockwave being emotive, I like it as well. He's my favorite Decepticon ever, and I always liked the G1 comic version. He was very active and engaging in that, unlike the "computer on legs" persona he was always given in animation media.

So you had to redo all your lines over and over to different versions of the movie, depending where in the production process it was?jON3.0 wrote:cloudballoon wrote:I've never seen Shockwave so.....emotive. Does not compute!
