Transformers One Box Office Prediction: Will It Flop or Succeed?

With Transformers One gearing up for release this September, fans are interested in learning its box office prediction, and whether it will flop or succeed. Starring the voices of Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, and Scarlett Johansson among others, Transformers One will serve as the origin story for Optimus Prime and Megatron. It will explore their transition from best friends to sworn enemies.

Here is our box office prediction for Transformers One and an understanding of whether the film will flop or succeed.

How much is Transformers One expected to make at the box office?

Transformers One is expected to make between $40-$50 million on opening weekend.

This estimated figure were revealed by Box Office Pro. When stacked against the opening weekend range of other September releases, this figure is more than Universal’s Speak No Evil, which has a $12-20 million range. It is even more than Lionsgate’s The Killer’s Game, which has an estimate of $5-10 million. However, it is significantly less than the estimated range of Warner Bros.’ highly-anticipated Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which has an opening weekend figure of $85-115 million.

Moreover, when compared to the opening weekend figures of past Transformers films, Transformers One’s $40-50 million figure falls in the same range as 2017’s Transformers: The Last Knight. It is also higher than 2018’s Bumblebee and 1986’s The Transformers: The Movie. However, it is lower when compared to Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon, Age of Extinction, and Rise of the Beasts.

Here is a list of the released Transformers films’ opening weekend figures: (via Box Office Mojo)

  • The Transformers: The Movie (1986) – $1.7 million
  • Transformers (2007) – $70 million
  • Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) – $108 million
  • Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) – $97 million
  • Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) – $100 million
  • Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) – $44 million
  • Bumblebee (2018) – $21 million
  • Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) – $61 million

With Transformers One being the first animated film in the franchise in recent years after 1986’s The Transformers: The Movie, the $40-$50 million range looks quite promising. This is especially when it is compared to the 1986 movie’s opening weekend figure.

Will Transformers One flop or succeed?

Transformers One could succeed at the box office.

The upcoming animated film has notable star talent like Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson attached to it. Thus, this could greatly help the film’s box office prospects, as it could drive their legions of fans into theaters.

Besides, the film is the first animated entry since 1986’s The Transformers: The Movie. In addition, its premise involves Optimus Prime and Megatron’s origin story. Thus, it could serve as a breath of fresh air for longtime Transformers fans. They would likely be interested in checking out the movie, contributing to the box office prospects and helping it become successful.
