\n In a surprise twist, the bots got squeezed out by Beetlejuice Beetlejuice<\/em> at the weekend box office.<\/p>\n

\n Paramount and Hasbro Entertainment\u2019s Transformers One<\/em> was expected to open to at least $30 million to $35 million in North America, more than enough to top the chart. Instead, it came in at an an estimated $25 million versus an estimated $26 million for Warner Bros.\u2019 Beetlejuice<\/em> sequel, which is now in is third weekend.<\/p>\n

\n Transformers One<\/em> had held a slight edge as of Saturday morning, but the necessary traffic needed to eke out a victory didn\u2019t materialize. The movie also opened overseas, but numbers weren\u2019t immedia<\/a>tely available.<\/p>\n

\n The unwelcome news<\/a> comes despite glowing reviews, awards buzz, an A CinemaScore and stellar exits, but Paramount and Hasbro always knew they were taking a risk by returning to the franchise\u2019s roots and making a CGI-animated film with a family-friendly PG rating, versus a PG-13 live-action extravaganza targeting fanboys. The movie hoped to play to both demos, but so far, the turnout has been soft on both fronts.<\/p>\n

\n Paramount has struggled to relaunch the marquee film franchise based on the popular Hasbro toy line.<\/p>\n

\n Directed by Pixar alum John Cooley, the movie is an origin story, chronicling how two of the most iconic Transformers, Optimus Prime and Megatron, went from best friends to archnemeses. Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry voice the two characters, with Keegan-Michael Key, Scarlett Johansson, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne and Jon Hamm also in the voice cast.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cConsider this a franchise revitalized,\u201d wrote Frank Scheck in his review of the film for The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n The modestly budgeted event pic cost $75 million to produce before marketing, which minimizes the sting of the weak domestic opening. The hope now is that it can find its footing and enjoy a long run in theaters, although the entry of DreamWorks Animation and Universal\u2019s The Wild Robot<\/em> next weekend complicates matters.<\/p>\n

\n The weekend\u2019s two other new releases are in far worse shape. Lionsgate\u2019s Halle Berry pic Never Let Go<\/em> came in fourth place with an estimated $4.5 million, while Mubi\u2019s The Substance<\/em>, starring Demi Moore, is on course to open to less than $3 million for a sixth-place finish.<\/p>\n

\n More to come<\/em>.<\/p>\n
