After previously starring in one of the biggest box office letdowns of 2024 withFuriosa,Chris Hemsworthhas another movie out in theaters that’s closing in on a major box office milestone. Hemsworth leadsTransformers Onewith his long-time Marvel co-star,Scarlett Johansson, the animatedTransformersprequel which is close to passing $50 million at the international box office. The film needs only a few hundred thousand, which it will likely scrape together today or, at the very worst, tomorrow. Once it puts together another million from foreign markets, it will move pastArgylle, which grossed only $51 million internationally, and is regarded as one of the biggest box office flops of the year — the film failed to reach $100 million at the worldwide box office despite the budget being $200 million.
In addition to its nearly $50 million at the international box office,Transformers Onehas also grossed $47 million domestically and is closing in on the $100 million worldwide mark. The film was reportedly produced for roughly $75 million, and though it has already earned back its production cost, the $75 million number is likely not to factor in marketing costs, meaningTransformers Onestill requires more at the box office to be profitable for Paramount. In addition to Hemsworth and Johansson,Transformers Onealso features several big names which are likely to tie into its larger budget, includingKeegan Michael-Key,Laurence Fishburne,Steve Buscemi, andJon Hamm. The film was written by Marvel veteran screenwriters,Andrew BarrerandEric Pearson, as well asGabriel Ferrari.Josh Cooley, best known for his work directingToy Story 4, came on board to helmTransformers One.
