The latest Transformers film, “The Last Knight,” has opened at a franchise low of $69 million. This is a far cry from 2014’s “Age of Extinction,” which brought in over $100 million within the same timeframe. Some consider this to be a clear signal for a reboot, but foreign numbers are looking a lot better: the film has racked up $196 million so far in China and other territories.
“The Last Knight” carries an estimated $217 million production budget. This makes “Transformers: The Last Knight” the latest summer blockbuster to bank on overseas ticket sales to have a shot at turning a profit. In China, the big-budget action sequel made $41 million in its opening day alone. The projected international cume through Sunday is $196.2 million, powered by $123.4 million in China. Imax screens will account for $24.3 million of the film’s total earnings this weekend.
