'Avengers: Endgame' rerelease confirms new title, footage, and end tag - Entertainment Weekly

Transformers fans have embraced the opportunity to give Optimus Prime a proper tribute. Marking the 40th anniversary of animated feature The Transformers: The Movie initially launching in August 1986, Hasbro and Fathom Entertainment teamed up for the theatrical rerelease, billed as a one-week opportunity that began Sept. 17, known as Transformers Day. The response for The Transformers: The Movie 40th Anniversary has surpassed initial projections, as the remastered 4K animated film hit No. 7 on the weekend domestic chart with $3.1 million from 1,454 North American locations. It has crossed $5 million globally as of Tuesday.

The Transformers: The Movie just proved that a 40-year-old animated film can still pack theaters. The 1986 classic's anniversary rerelease delivered staggering box office numbers that rival its entire original theatrical run. The Transformers: The Movie returns to theaters with major box office successThe 40th anniversary re-release of The Transformers: The Movie earned an estimated $4.16 million in four days, according to Box Office Mojo. Fathom Entertainment distributed the new 4K restoration across 1,454 North American screens starting September 17. The film finished eighth at the domestic box office for the weekend with an estimated $3.1 million. That four-day total represents roughly 71% of the film's entire original 1986 domestic gross of $5.85 million. The estimated weekend haul also beat the 1986 opening weekend of $1.78 million by approximately 74%. These comparisons use unadjusted figures, so the original run earned more in real purchasing power. The rerelease opened against Resident Evil, which took an estimated $60 million domestically. Despite that competition, the 85-minute animated film still cracked the top ten (via ComicBookMovie).

Marvel Studios’ release of Avengers: Endgame: Encore was a shrewd gambit for a few reasons: It put the studio’s most successful film back in conversation right after the juggernaut success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day; it tided die-hards over with new footage ahead of December’s Avengers: Doomsday; and, perhaps most importantly, it raked in an additional $138 million for the film, reinstating its position as the worldwide box office champion over James Cameron’s Avatar. Cameron, who certainly doesn’t spend his precious time fretting about such matters as lifetime financial grosses and being the best in the world at stuff, recently expressed his congratulations to Marvel for once again overtaking his 2009 sci-fi film. “You are one of the people,” the director wrote (per The Wrap) in a composite image from Avatar, with Iron Man at the center of a welcoming Na’vi tribe. “Congratulations to Marvel and the #1 Avengers: Endgame: Encore for bringing moviegoers to the cinemas! – Jim Cameron.”
