TransformersRiseOfTheBeasts exceeds expectations for its debut at the global box office.
Paramount’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts came in ahead of expectations at the global box office, grossing $170 million in its debut weekend. The movie made $60 million domestically, and another $110 million from overseas territories, edging past the $155 million projections heading into the weekend.
Directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback, Rise of the Beasts is based on the Beast Wars storyline of the Hasbro franchise, and introduces the Maximals. Previous movies have focused on the Autobots and Decepticons. Reviews for Rise of the Beasts have been mixed; it currently sits at a “rotten” 53% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, but it earned a strong A- CinemaScore from opening day audiences.

The series’ last installment, Bumblebee, tapped out with $465 million globally — a franchise-low. And while director Michael Bay’s stint began with a bang — the first Transformers made $708 million globally — it lost the spark toward the end.
