Forbes published an article this past weekend that places the highly anticipated Transformers: The Last Knight within the larger context of Paramount/Viacom Inc.’s recent underperfoming film offerings, contending that Paramount needs a win. Among the key points:
So now, after 18 months of one miss after another, it falls to Optimus Prime and Bumblebee to not just save the world but arguably save [Paramount] studio. This is not a good place for any film to be in, no matter how much of a guaranteed cash cow it might be. It’s also Paramount’s last release until October, with the exception of An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power in late July, so if it underperforms around the world it’s going to sting for awhile.
Will The Last Knight perform above expectations? Already have your tickets purchased for this film? Sound off on the 2005 boards!
