The summer box office is heating up with Fast X being expected to earn $60 million this weekend. The Little Mermaid is tracking to earn $110 million in its 4-day opening while Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse looks to open to $80 million. Paramount hopes to continue the big summer movie parade with Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
According to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, the sequel to Bumblebee is tracking to earn $70 million in the US and Canada.
The upcoming movie hopes to make up for the weak opening weekends of the past two Transformers movies with Rise of the Beasts.
2018's Bumblebee earned $21 million in its domestic opening weekend while Transformers: The Last Knight grossed $44 million the year before, which pales in comparison to previous outings.
A domestic opening weekend of $70 million will put Rise of the Beast in fifth place just behind the first Transformers film that came out in 2007. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had the largest opening weekend for the series, grossing an impressive $109 million in 2009. What we know about Transformers: Rise of the Beasts? Bumblebee will be returning in the upcoming film.
