Autobots, roll... out?
Even after the disaster that was "Transformer: Age of Extinction", it looks like Paramount is continuing this horrible saga of films with 3 other installments coming up in the next few years. It has been reported not too long ago that Michael Bay will return to direct the upcoming and untitled 5th film in the franchise that is set for a June 23, 2017 release date.
Today, Paramount has also announced that a 6th and 7th installment of the series will be released on June 8th, 2018 and June 29th, 2019 respectively.
The 5th "Transformers" film will be directly competing against Warner Bros. and DC's "Wonder Woman" on June 23, 2017 while the 6th film will be fighting against the king of monsters with the "Godzilla" sequel on June 8th, 2018. In June of 2017, we will have the sequel to "Kingsman: The Secret Service", "Wonder Woman", "Despicable Me 3" and the live action remake of the "Uncharted" video game. In June of 2018, we will have the "Godzilla" sequel, "Toy Story 4" and the sequel to "Jurassic World". And finally in June of 2019, we will, so far, have "Justice League: Part 2" and the longly anticipated sequel to "The Incredibles"... Lot of competitors here.
Needless to say, the "Transformers" franchise has some big competition at the box office and I am not confident that they will win this time, at least internationally. "Transformers: Age of Extinction" was the lowest grossing film in the series domestically and it seems that we, as an audience, are already sick and tired of the Michael Bay-style films in general. Will we continue to have interest in them in 2017, 2018 and 2019? I highly doubt it.
What do you think of the 5th, 6th and 7th installments of the "Transformers" series?
