After many years of waiting Transformers: Rise of the Beasts has finally hit theaters and the seventh installment is off to a hot start at the box office.
That includes IMAX which made our favorite robots in disguise $16 million in its opening weekend.
The premium format made Rise of the Beasts $6.4 million across 399 screens in North America and $9.6 million on international IMAX screens which makes the new Transformers film the fourth-highest IMAX international opening for Paramount ever.
If that wasn’t enough $5.9 million of that global number was made in China which is 15% of the overall total.
They’re going to be a big factor in Rise of the Beasts’ global success, and it's going to be interesting to see how the latest installment continues to perform in the market in the weeks to come.
The film has already made $40 million in China which is a big chunk of its global weekend total of $170 million.
Rise of the Beasts IMAX total up to this point is $17.2 million.
