Four more Transformers movies after TF5 already greenlit?

[griffin]

A comment found buried in an article that looked at the Transformers Movies, and how well it is doing in non-American markets, makes mention of there being four Transformers movies after The Last Knight, currently on the books from Paramount... but be aware that this is a comment from an analyst who isn't from Paramount, so it could be just speculation, or he has came across official documentation during his review of the franchise.

We already knew that Hasbro/Paramount had planned to have three movies in quick succession from TF5 to TF7, but if this info is true, that would be another two movies after TF7... which could also be each following year, to give Hasbro that annual boost to toy sales that they enjoyed during the 6 month period around the first four movies.

Whether you like or hate them, the live action TF movies have proven a goldmine with all 4 movies still in the top 100 highest grossing flicks of all time.

Combine that with the increased sales and brand recognition it provides Hasbro and there is no way they are going to stop making the movies any time soon. The most we may see is at some point they will do a reboot as they've exhausted/killed all the most popular characters and they don't want people to get bored with the series. People might be less inclined to see a movie referred to as 'Transformers 15'

I don't think anyone's ever argued against the financial success or influence of the live action films.

Never said they did. Was just using the point as an example of how we shouldn't be surprised if it turns out there really are another 4 flicks planned for after TLK - money is the biggest motivator for the likes of Hasbro and Paramount here so I don't think the movies will stop while that level of cash keeps coming in

Fair enough. And I don't want the movies to stop. I just want them to get better.

Nice! Now teach that skill across the board and the news section will be truly newsworthy
