Transformers One Voices Behind the Scenes Video

To promote the the video on demand release of Transformers One, Paramount has released a behind the scenes video called "Voices Behind the Bots" that talks about the voice roles with the main actors with some footage of them recording the voices. This vid isn't mentioned as a special release on the December 17 home video release of the movie.

Transformers Digital and Home Video Release Dates

Paramount Home Video has announced the video on demand (VOD) release date for Transformers One as tomorrow, October 22. Just four weeks after the film hit theaters which will likely remain in theaters for a few more weeks. This means whatever source you use to buy or rent streaming movies will have the film be it Amazon, Fandango/Vudu, AppleTV, etc.

If, like me, prefer a physical copy, the home video release date is set for December 17, 2024 just in time for Christmas. Actually surprised its date isn't mid-November but guess they could do. Currently Amazon has the Steelbook 4K edition of the film available for pre-order. There will also be the usual regular Blu-ray and DVD release of the film on that date. The Special features for the film include:

• In The Beginning — Witness the origin story of Optimus Prime (Orion Pax) and Megatron (D-16) and the evolution of their relationship from brothers-in-arms to sworn enemies. Filmmakers discuss the vision for the film and how it was brought to life.

Transformers One Fourth Weekend Box Office

Transformers One has hit its fourth weekend of release in the US and the numbers remain meh despite outstanding critic and viewer reviews. Over the weekend the movie took in $3.8M in the US for domestic total of $53M. International box office added $6.2M for an international total of $58.5M. So far the movie's worldwide total is $111.5 against a $75M production budget. 

Its competitor, The Wild Robot, is currently sitting on $84.2M US and $65M international for total of $149.3. Better than Transformers but apparently not what Dreamworks was looking for as they have surprisingly made the movie available Monday via video on demand services like Apple TV, MoviesAnywhere, Fandango, etc.

Transformers One Third Weekend Box Office Results

Transformers One continues to just do ok at the box office. For its third weekend, it made $5.3M for US total of $47.2M and international total of $97.0M. Its main family friendly competition is The Wild Robot which is doing a little bit better having crossed $100M in two weeks so its getting the kind of numbers that Transformers wanted. The next few weeks has virtually no new family friendly competition so might reach $150M or higher but definitely not the success level Paramount was aiming for.
