It would seem like Transformers One\u2019s woes aren\u2019t limited to its domestic box-office performance. The animated film under-performed in its global debut as well. Having opened in 50 territories, Transformers One generated under $15 million from overseas markets in its first weekend of release, while falling short of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice domestically. Tim Burton\u2019s blockbuster pulled off a last-minute upset by out-performing Transformers One by just $1 million domestically, thereby claiming the number-one position for the third weekend in a row. With $25 million domestically and another $14 million from overseas markets, Transformers One\u2019s cumulative global total stands at $39 million. The silver lining here is that Paramount spent a reported $75 million on the film, which is roughly in the same range as what the studio spent on last year\u2019s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. That movie was modeled on the success of Sony\u2019s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and went on to generate over $100 million domestically and nearly $200 million worldwide. Paramount can also take pride in the excellent reviews that Transformers One opened to. In his review, Collider\u2019s Jeff Ewing wrote that the movie adds \u201ccomplexity and new emotion to the characters and factions that franchise fans love, while having enough dramatic heft for unfamiliar and new audiences alike.\u201d Transformers One holds a strong 88% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, but its audience score stands at an incredible 98%. This is a hugely pivotal metric because it suggests that the movie might have longer legs than most. That being said, Transformers One didn\u2019t quite attract the walk-in crowds that it was expected to this weekend, on the back of this phenomenal response.\n<\/div>\n
