MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY
Bay continued:
“I’m telling you, here’s a little trick. When directors go pre-screen their movies, we’re testing them, you see what [audiences] feel and whatnot, and I’ve got the sound thing there, you want to throw up. Every director wants to throw up the first time a big audience is looking at that thing. And you’ll see people walking down slowly in the test, and you want to grab them, ‘No, no, no. Hang on. There’s a big scene. If you miss this scene, you’re going to miss the whole thing.’"
Transformers Surpassed All Expectation And Stood Its Ground To Be One Of The Biggest Movies of the Year
Paramount Pictures
Although we seem to have been robbed of big summer blockbusters for the last couple of years, back in 2007 you couldn’t get away from them. Along with Transformers, big sequels like Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Shrek the Third and Spider-Man 3 were all released, making it a tough year at the top of the box office. Yet, despite that small wobble by Bay, Transformers ended up being the third highest grossing domestic movie of the year, only just being beaten by Spider-Man 3 and Shrek the Third.
With a new Transformers movie heading into theaters next year, it will add to the total $4.8 billion grossed by the franchise so far from the six movies released. With the franchise being owned by Paramount, who are looking to expand further on their properties for Paramount+, the upcoming Rise of the Beasts movie is certainly not going to be the last time we see the Transformers on screen either.
