It’s a big weekend for the new “Transformers” movie.
Yes, it’s a sequel, and if you’re not a teenager you won’t see it. But between Thursday previews (and some Wednesday) and last night, the opening take was $25.6 million.
“Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” could go as high as $59 million this weekend.
The umpteenth movie is in this series is a mixture of animation and live action.
This means that the top 2 movies in America are animated, based on a comic strip and a toy. How lucky were are to live in these times!
(The other one is “Spider Man: Across the Spiderverse.”)
FYI Four movies made for adults — Book Club 2, You Hurt My Feelings, Chevalier, and Past Lives — made a total of around $350,000 last night.
