Transformers: Age Of Extinction has now officially crossed $1B, with a worldwide cumulative of $1.005bn making it the first film of 2014 to hit the milestone and the second film in the Transformers franchise to cross the billion dollar mark. The first was Transformers: Dark Of The Moon in 2011.
Last month, the movie had already become the highest-grossing film ever in China with over $300M. TAOE has yet to bow in Spain and Japan (Aug. 8) and Venezuela (Aug. 22), meaning its global run is far from over.
“Time and again, Michael Bay has delivered pictures that audiences around the globe truly love,” said Paramount Chairman and CEO, Brad Grey. “Along with the immensely talented and versatile Mark Wahlberg, the great Steven Spielberg as executive producer, and a superb cast, he created a powerful re-launch of this franchise. This tremendous accomplishment – to be the first film of 2014 to earn over $1 billon at the box office – proves once again that Michael is a world-class filmmaker at the top of his game. We are proud to have expanded our relationship with him and that he will continue to make Paramount his home for years to come.”
