I care so little that I wouldn't have even known it was a cartoon.

Are there supposed to be people in it? like actors?
Look at the posters or trailer - the whole film is like that. If the cartoon is made by computer, what difference does it make?

CGI isn't AI. It would still be people making it.

I haven't watched anything about it at all.

To my knowledge, every Transformers flick up to this point did have actors in it. The last Transformers movie I watched was the 2nd one. Maybe this one was just a cartoon.

There is one factor you did not consider

not box office not DVD sales but 'Toys'

Disney Reportedly Made Over $1 Billion in Star Wars Merchandise Sales Last Year

Well, that's a lie.

Have you not seen all the Star Wars toys rotting for years on the shelves at Ollies along with the Marvel toys?

They still have Shang Chi action figures at Ollies that they can't sell marked down to $1.99 each sitting on shelves opposite Star Wars toys that came out when the first Disney Star Wars movie was in theaters.


It's a bad time to try to sell boring action figure toys to kids when they walk around with phones in their pockets that double as game consoles in the first place, but no kid wants to play with these stupid Disney characters.


Transformers might have a better go at it, but they'd better move a ton of them to make up for the huge loss here on the movie. And since Transformers have been sold for over 40 years now, I don't even really know how much you could attribute to this movie that not a whole lot of people went to see. I'm sure they'll figure out how to make it look good to please the pissed off investors though.

it would be interesting to see how profits get shared and how much toy companies making Transformers stuff actually make back as cash profits. The movie is a number of studuios, Paramount Animation US, Hasbro Entertainment which usually do Toys and Di Bonaventura Pictures. It looks as if Toy sales are shared with American toy company Hasbro and Japanese toy company Takara Tomy. The Live Action Transformers movies were mostly a Michael Bay explosion entertainment thing.

anyways it looks like it had $8,000,000 in China
