Its 2009 sequel, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” opened over $100 million and grossed more than $400 million, so that Paramount knew it had a reliable franchise under Bay… until they didn’t. That opened with $70.5 million over the 4th of July in 2007 but went on to gross $319.2 million domestic (and more than twice that amount globally). Michael Bay’s five movies have grossed over $4 billion worldwide, but 2017’s “Transformers: The Last Knight” only opened with $44 million, less than half the opening of all but the first “Transformers” movie. That said, there are problems facing “Rise of the Beasts,” the first one potentially being franchise fatigue from the most diehard fans.

Let’s face it, the combination of high-speed cars and giant fighting robots is an undeniable draw for boys of all ages, which is what has sustained the franchise for nearly four decades. SEE 15 most anticipated movies for June include ‘Across the Spider-Verse,’ ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,’ ‘Past Lives’ … įor fans of the series, bringing Unicron and his Terrorbots into the mix, as well as the Maximals (essentially, the “Beasts” of the title), will be reason alone to see the movie, but for younger moviegoers, “Rise of the Beasts” acts as a great introduction to the Transformers. The voice cast also includes Pete Davidson as the voice of Autobot Mirage, and Ron Perlman and recent Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as two of the “beastly” Maximals, who help Autobot leader Optimus Prime (as always, voiced by Peter Cullen) find the key. Also trying to find the key is the evil “Terrorbot” Scourge (voiced by Peter Dinklage), who wants to use the key to bring the world-eating God Unicron to earth. The primary human cast for the movie is Anthony Ramos from “A Star is Born,” “In the Heights,” and “Hamilton,” and Dominique Fishback (“Judah and the Black Messiah”), with Ramos playing soldier Noah Diaz, who discovers the world of the Autobots as they search for the Transwarp Key, which can help return them to their home planet.
