Autobot and Decepticon Fans are ready to hit the theaters, because the long run box office Expectations predict Transformers One The movie will do Cybertron-sized sales during its opening weekend. Chris Hemsworth The animated installment of the beloved film series, starring Brian Tyree Henry, is expected to gross between $40 million and $50 million domestically when it hits theaters in September (according to Boxoffice Pro).
if Transformers One If we can bend toward the higher end of that prediction, the origin story of Optimus Prime, aka Orion Pac (Hemsworth), and Megatron, aka D-16 (Henry), could score one of the best opening weekends in a film saga in over a decade — regardless of live-action or animated labels.
The last film in the series to cross $100 million in its opening weekend was Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014). However, success has certainly come in varying degrees since then. Check out the box office numbers for all the films over the years, and see how Transformers One The film could do better financially than two of its last three theatrical releases (below):
transformers Domestic Opening Weekend Numbers
- Transformers: The Movie (1986) – $1.8 million
- transformers (2007) – $70.5 million
- Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) – $109 million

- Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) – $44.7 million
- bumblebee (2018) – $21.7 million
- Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) – $61 million
It is also worth noting that if Transformers One If the film is on track to make $50 million in its opening weekend, it could be among the best September debuts ever. He – She (2017) This distinction currently holds the number one spot with a gross of $123.4 million (according to Box Office Mojo). However, transformers The original story may be able to make its way to the top spot when it comes to animated movies. Hotel Transylvania 2 It opened for $48.5 million in 2015, so transformers He certainly has a chance to get this special honor.
Transformers One movie focuses on Optimus and Megatron.
The relationship between Orion and D-16 is key to Transformers OneChris Hemsworth’s portrayal of a young Orion, before he became the legendary leader of the Autobots, is at the heart of the upcoming installment in the animated film series. While D-16 will eventually become the villain Megatron, the heart of this story depends on how the two main characters interact, but beware… the real villain isn’t what fans might expect. However, the “real antagonist” isn’t imaginary at all. Director Josh Cooley explained in an interview with Collider:
There is an opponent to the plot, which is exactly what happens,
But the real antagonist in my mind is what happens to this relationship between Orion and D-16.
This is the relationship I've always been in,
“This is the most important thing.”

Cooley continued in the same interview:
Do you know what's funny?
Now, when I think about it, I don't think the antagonist of the plot has changed at all.
It was always the same, and that was because he was so great. I loved him from day one. But the relationship was the thing that I was like,
“I want to make sure that this feels like what's really at stake, regardless of who else shows up,”
And all that stuff.
“It's really about Orion and the D-16.”
In the last part, the animation Transformers One Chris Hemsworth continues the rich tradition of Peter Cullen as the voice of Optimus Prime. However, due to the young age of the characters in this unique origin story, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura reveals that this is the reason why the legendary Cullen was not brought back to the group as Optimus, also known as Orion Pac. But the casting change seems to have had no impact on the film’s long-term box office prospects.
