I agree. I also think Paramount should give Hasbro the license to the movie back or Amazon should give the license back and have Hasbro produce the series.
VARIETY: Paramount-Skydance merger collapsed in the final moments, and will lead to layoffs and austerity measures

I agree. I also think Paramount should give the license of the movie back to Hasbro, err I think Hasbro should give the license to Amazon and have Amazon produce the TV series.
These are all because of Google Translate.
I don't care if they MAKE transformers movies, as long as they make SOME movies that aren't for young kids.
This.
I watched Transformers in the '80s. Loved the 1986 movie when I was younger. Beast Wars was okay, it might have even been better than G1, but G1 is still my thing. I haven't bothered with any of the other series. So, I'd be the Transformers equivalent of a TOS Only Fan.
I watched the first three live-action movies. The first one was kind of okay, kind of, I didn't really like the other two, then I decided I was done. I haven't seen any other Transformers movie since.
Interesting that they're making the Transformers movies animated now. Seems like they figured out a way churn them out one-after-another more cheaply. And for every kid that outgrows it, they'll be replaced with another kid who discovers it.
They'll keep making them, but I don't feel any need to see them.
To circle this back around to Star Trek: I liked the 2009 Film, but it wasn't my thing. I didn't like Into Darkness. Like with Transformers, I decided that if I didn't like Beyond, I would be done with the Trek movies. Then I thought Beyond was okay, so I would've went to see a fourth one...
... and then it became a non-issue because Star Trek 4 is in Development Hell and will stay in Development Hell forever. To be brutally honest, if the Prequel Trek movie gets made (I have more faith in that happening than Star Trek 4), I think it won't do as well as they'd like, then they'll just quietly scrap Star Trek 4. Again. I could be totally wrong, but that's what I think will happen.
I am right with you for the most part. G1/2 was great; TF: The Movie was the very first DVD I ever purchased.
I never liked the LOOK of the michael bay movies, but the first one had a slower paced, 80s speilberg vibe in a way, and it seemed a much more personal story. Everything that came after was complete garbage.
As far as newer reboots go, I actually REALLY enjoyed Transformers Prime, and the War for Cybertron Trilogy (3 seasons) on Netflix were pretty watchable. After those, the new movie didn't seem too appealing, retreading some of the same ground, and I didn't waste my time on it.

Transformers was not an animated film. It was made with a budget between $75 million and $147 million and failed at the box office. As for Star Trek, I think it will be a good box office film if it is made with a budget of no more than $100 million and released on a suitable release date. Even if the box office fails, Paramount will not stop making Star Trek films.

The only reason why Nemesis and Beyond failed at the box office was because they were released on the wrong release dates. If they had been released on the right release dates, they definitely wouldn't have failed at the box office.
I said I think they won't make Star Trek 4, not that they wouldn't make other Star Trek movies. I have no doubt they'll reboot Star Trek again for the big screen. It'll star someone else, and it'll be made by someone else.
I was there in both 2002 and 2016. The release dates wouldn't have changed things. People are either interested in seeing a movie or they're not. And Beyond didn't fail. It underperformed. Nemesis failed. If Beyond outright failed, there wouldn't have even been a Star Trek 4 in Development Hell.

When a movie is released in theaters, 50% of the box office goes to movie theaters. In order to cover Beyond’s budget, it had to exceed 440 million dollars in box office. But it made 343 million dollars in box office and failed at the box office. Nemesis failed even worse at the box office. Also, when Nemesis was released in the USA, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and James Bond Die Another Day were in theaters. Naturally, it was impossible for Nemesis to be successful at the box office. Also, instead of being released all over the world at the same time, it continued to be released in various countries for 6 months after the US release date. In order for Nemesis to do well at the box office, it had to be released at the same time as the whole world, around May or June 2003. When Beyond was released, David Ayar’s Suicide Squad was in theaters. And people preferred seeing a bad movie to Beyond.
I understand this.
Depends on the movie and depends on the studio. For their major films, Disney takes up to 80% of ticket sales for the first few weeks of release. Most other studios take 60% to 70% for the opening week, with the percentage sliding in the theaters favour the longer a film is in theaters. This is why theater owners love movies that stay in theaters for months like Titanic and Avatar.

Thank you.
Any chance someone could change the thread title to something a little more neutral about the merger?
According to the Hollywood Reporter - Paramount is mulling over shutting down or selling MTV, Comedy Central and BET once the merger/acquisition with Skydance is completed and focusing solely on CBS and Paramount+.
I'd buy MTV for free. Since they lack any music videos, after all.
All right, one dollar. But no tax.
