At present, the "Transformers" spin-off movie "Bumblebee" has been released worldwide for three weeks, and the global box office is only 289.12 million US dollars. As of now, Chinese mainland aspect, "Bumblebee" has only produced 522 million yuan at the box office. Compared to previous Transformers films, this Bumblebee did not trigger a phenomenal movie-going boom. Fans around the world are cold to "Bumblebee".
Judging from the global box office of five "Transformers" and one "Bumblebee", the appearance of the heroine has a subtle positive proportional relationship with the box office of the "Transformers" series of movies. The "Transformers" series of movies, which are gradually going downhill, are also facing the problem that the heroine's appearance is not up to par. Let's take a closer look at these six films.
Transformers 1
The film was released in 2007 and grossed $710 million worldwide. The heroine of Transformers 1 is Megan Fox. Megan Fox became a model at the age of 13 and won the American Model Award in a 1999 model contest in South Carolina, where she became a film and television actress. As the debut of the Transformers film, the film's final global performance of 710 million US dollars also laid a solid foundation for the subsequent filming.
Transformers 2
The film was released in 2009 and grossed $840 million worldwide. Complemented by the global box office rally, the second film not only used the heroine of the first film, but also added the female number two, Isabelle Lucas. Isabelle Lucas is of Swiss descent and can speak English, French and German. He studied at the prestigious Victorian Art Institute in Australia and was discovered by his agent in the resort town of Port Douglas. Although she did not get the desired role when she first auditioned for the Australian longevity soap opera "Sorrow and Joy", the producers later added a new role specifically reserved for her, with which Lucas won the Logie Award for Most Popular Newcomer Actress in 2006.
Transformers 3
The film was released in 2011 and grossed $1.12 billion worldwide. This is also the best result in the world achieved by the "Transformers" film single film. The heroine of this movie is also the tallest of all transformers movies. Rosie Huntington-Wheatley, British supermodel, Victoria's Secret royal supermodel. It can be said that this heroine is used as a vase in the movie. The American Golden Plum Awards were also not polite, directly nominating the worst actress of the supermodel.
Transformers 4
The film was released in 2014 and grossed $1.0914 billion worldwide. North America produced only $245.4 million, but Chinese mainland output of 1.979 billion yuan. The heroine of the film, Nicola Peltz, was once a member of the women's ice hockey team and was in good shape, but she was no longer at the level of the "Victoria's Secret" supermodel of "Transformers 3". On the contrary, the Chinese beauty Li Bingbing played the female number two in this movie, adding a lot of color, making the film rise at the box office in the Chinese mainland.
Transformers 5
Released in 2017, the film grossed $605 million worldwide, nearly slashing compared to the fourth and third films. The film's lead actress is Laura Harddeck. The appearance value is far inferior to the previous ones. However, in the movie, she only serves as a common use of vases. The Golden Plum Award was not polite and directly nominated her worst actress of the year.
Bumblebee
"Bumblebee", released at the end of the year, has a global box office of less than 300 million US dollars, although it has been released in 63 countries and regions around the world for 3 weeks, but it has not changed the fate of the film's box office continues to cut. Judging from the current situation, "Bumblebee" has no hope of entering the $400 million. And the heroine of the film, Hayley Steinfield, is finally no longer a vase in the play. However, its appearance really can't be compared with the heroines of the previous Transformers films. The real global box office peak of Transformers is "Transformers 3" starring Victoria's Secret supermodels.
