Exclusive Best Buy Ultra 4K HD Blu-ray Transformers Bumblebee Movie Steel Book Set Revealed

I'm not really into steelbooks, I just try to get whichever version has the most actual content. Target's TLK BRD was the only version that included Machinima's CW. I'm hoping at least one release of BB will have TR & PotP included. Yeah I know these series are horrible, still I'd like to have them in some format for the sake of completion.

So...no word on bonus content yet I assume, since we dont even have a release date.

One week later BMO has it at 117M domestic & 296M foreign= WW 413M (Budget X3=405M)

NOW it is officially profitable

Great to hear that!

This video has been popping up and seems legit/legal like a promotion for the release in asian markets. So dont see why I culdnt post it here, enjoy the best parts of the BB movie!

After finally seeing the movie about a week ago (I loved it, it was everything I hoped it would be), I kinda got the desire to see what this movie's Bumblebee robot mode design would look like with the other movie Bumblebee vehicle modes/parts like how they did with the 76 Camaro; main desire is to see it with the black with yellow accents 67 Camaro from AOE, but any of the modern Camaros would be cool too.

While Bumblebee’s US theatrical run may be winding down, we have word that Bumblebee will journey on on a foreign shore familiar to many Transformer fans: China. Taken directly from the China Box Office Twitter, Bumblebee has been renewed for showings until March 2nd.

For those unfamiliar with Chinese regulations, most foreign films are restricted to about a month in theaters. To have Bumblebee extended required the studio's filing of an official request to Chinese authorities. This is an apparent first in the Transformers franchise, seeing as most records indicate no other Transformers film has ran in China long enough to substantiate a renewal. With the extension, Bumblebee’s run will last 57 days in total, dwarfing The Last Knight and Age of Extinction's runs of 31 and 35 days respectively.

With Bumblebee grossing the least of all Paramount's films, and with overseas revenue tending to be more lucrative than domestic, this extension may be the push Bumblebee needs to catch up with its predecessors.


What are your thoughts? Do you see this as a sign of good faith from Paramount, or does this seem more like a desperate attempt to increase the film's relatively-low profits? Do you care? Let us know what you think in the forums below, and stay tuned to Seibertron for more Transformers News and Reviews.

Actually I think aoe and tlk would have got similar extensions if they were released at the same time that bee was. I think paramount will be happy with the money it's made compared to how much it cost so I don't think that's the reason at all

Or maybe people didn't like it because it wasn't as great as some fans think it was.

Nevertheless It is better than Bayformers

Like you said about "greatness," "better" is also subjective. You think it was better than Bayformers. I don't. That's the good thing about opinions. We can have different ones. This movie is the first TF film I don't care to ever see again. And going by the box office, I'm not the only one. I'm not saying it's horrible, but I don't think it was good. The story and character development was on par with Bayverse, but it was missing the big action pieces. I wouldn't have minded that if the story was better.

Thing is paramount never said it was anything but a prequel, it was us fans that always brought on the speculation about its status. I mean it's not like tf designs didn't radically change from one installment to another already... (amarda -> Energon -> Cybertron, Prime -> Rid 2015, all of IDW practically) Knight thought he could change the looks and still get away with it being a prequel.

Also re: humans in the franchise, it all depends on the story you want to tell, if its just a war story the humans (other then celebrity voices as Studios want star power in the film somewhere... And no, the brand is not that kind of star power) will not be required. Doing a "in disguise" type of story then yeah, you need humans, there's a balance to strike.

But that's only by your standards and definitions, not Hasbros or Paramounts. Also I would love it if the movies went more like IDW with characters and concepts, I still have hope that one day Hasbro will do a DC and start putting out direct to disc/stream animated movies based on IDW arcs or other past comic arcs that warrant the work.
