Transformers One, is going now on Sept. 20 instead of Sept. 13.
The move comes as the studio has secured Imax screens for the movie produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Don Murphy, Tom DeSanto, Michael Bay, Mark Vahradian, and Aaron Dem. In addition, the reception for the 3D movie was so phenomenal out of CinemaCon last week, Paramount had to give the movie the best launch pad. Late September has been a rich bed for family animated movies including Hotel Transylvania 2 ($48.2M opening), Hotel Transylvania ($42.5M opening) and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs ($34M opening).
Transformers One is among one of Paramount’s highest tested movies in the studio’s history.
Today, Paramount outdid itself and launched the first trailer for the Optimus Prime and Megatron origin buddy movie — in space on a weather balloon. Watch Chris Hemsworth (Optimus Prime) and Brian Tyree Henry (Megatron) introduce the trailer above. Transformers One follows how Prime and Megatron, originally known as Orion Pax and D-16, go from brothers-in-arms to sworn enemies. It’s the first Transformers movie in close to 40 years. Josh Cooley directs.
The New Republic co-production also stars Scarlett Johansson (Elita-1) and Keegan-Michael Key (B-127), Steve Buscemi, with Laurence Fishburne and Jon Hamm.
