The newest Transformers movie, The Last Knight, is out now--but it did not do so well in the US this weekend. Box office numbers from Entertainment Weekly show that the film made $45.3 million domestically for the June 23-25 weekend, which is substantially below what the three previous entries Revenge of the Fallen ($109 million), Dark of the Moon ($97.9 million), and Age of Extinction ($100 million) made during their respective US opening weekends.The Last Knight was directed by Michael Bay, but he won`t be back in the director`s chair for the 2018 and 2019 sequels. While The Last Knight might not be a big winner stateside compared to past entries, it was far and away the No. 1 movie at the box office this weekend, well clear of Cars 3 ($25.2 million) in the No. 2 position. Internationally, The Last Knight is performing far better, where it made $196 million this weekend, which, combined with $69.1 million in total from the US, pushes its global hgaul to more than $265 million. It still has a lot of work to do to catch up to 2014`s Age of Extinction, which made more than $1 billion at the global box office when all was said and done.Rounding out the top five films at the US box office this weekend were Cars 3 ($25.2 million), Wonder Woman ($25.2 million), 47 Meters Down ($7.43 million), and All Eyez On Me ($5.85 million).
