Now, we have a trailer for the film he made in between, which finds him returning to the world of animation.

It’s one of the oddest and most dismaying of all Academy Awards factoids: The Best Cinematography category was introduced at the first ceremony in 1929, but it took 90 years and 596 nominations before the category had its first female nominee. Rachel Morrison broke that nine-decade male monopoly, the longest stretch for any gender-neutral Oscar category, in 2017 for her work on Dee Rees’ “Mudbound,” and the following year, she became the first female cinematographer to make a Marvel movie with “Black Panther.”
Those two films are among the standouts in a career that has also seen her serve as director of photography on “Fruitvale Station,” “Dope” and “Seberg,” and that has now expanded to include her feature directorial debut, “The Fire Inside.” The Amazon MGM Studios release stars Ryan Destiny as real-lifebOlympic boxer Claressa Shields, the first woman to win a gold medal for the U.S. and the only American boxer...

At this stage of the Oscar race, several things are certain. Palme d’Or winner “Anora” (Neon), which scored four nominations on October 29 for the first of the award shows of the season, the Gothams, remains the frontrunner in the Oscar race. Sean Baker’s film is followed by Netflix’s French Oscar submission “Emilia Pérez,” which was not eligible for Best Feature but didn’t land an international nod, either. Does “Emilia Pérez” need a Gothams nod in its pursuit of Oscar glory? No.

“Anora,” a free-wheeling comedy about a sex worker who becomes entangled with the family of a Russian oligarch, led the Gotham Awards, picking up four nominations, including a nod for best feature.
“Nickel Boys,” the story of two African-American teens who are sent to an abusive reform school, and “I Saw the TV Glow,” a psychological horror film about high schoolers who begin to lose touch with reality, were close behind with three nods apiece.
“Nickel Boys” will vie for best feature alongside “Anora.” Other nominees for the top prize include the erotic drama “Babygirl,” the black comedy “A Different Man” and “Challengers,” a love triangle that unfolds against the backdrop of professional tennis. There were several notable omissions, with critically heralded films like “The Brutalist” and “Conclave” passed over for a best feature nomination. “The Brutalist” did earn two nominations for its star Adrien Brody and for the supporting turn of Guy Pearce.

Lakeith Stanfield made his feature debut just over a decade ago, but in the years since, he's put together a career that would be notable for an actor working in Hollywood twice as long. He's made a name for himself on both television and the big screen, working in a variety of different genres and with exciting up-and-coming directors. With his penetrating stare and off-kilter sense of humor, Stanfield is an undeniably distinctive screen presence, and he's becoming one of the most fascinating actors of his generation. Over the course of his career, he's also gathered a collection of accolades, including an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 2021 for his work in "Judas and the Black Messiah."

It’s no secret that the Covid-19 pandemic upended the movie theater business in 2020, but in the years since, the industry has slowly climbed back. In 2021, 14 movies were able to cross the coveted $100 million mark at the U.S. box office. In 2022, that number jumped up to 18 films. And in 2023, there were a whopping 25 such blockbusters. So how many features released during the current 2024 calendar year will end up becoming box office behemoths? Stay tuned.
To date, the biggest money-makers of the year are a trio of highly anticipated sequels: “Inside Out 2,” “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Despicable Me 4.” Scroll through our gallery above (or click here for direct access) to see all of the 2024 box office hits so far that made more than $100 million in the United States.

But one thing he had never done — until now, at least — was an animated film. That changes with Transformers One, in which he voices the iconic Transformers character Optimus Prime. Having done plenty of action films in the past, Hemsworth assumed that a voice role would be simple by comparison. Hemsworth said his work on Transformers One was a lot more difficult — and physical — than he’d ever imagined it would be. (Click on the media bar below to hear Chris Hemsworth) https://www.

The latest outing of the robots in disguise abandons its blockbuster credentials, and it’s all the better for it. Here’s our Transformers One review.
It’s strange to think that, of all the films based on toys we’ve had in cinemas since 2020, Transformers One is only really the second to be aimed squarely at a young audience. Even then, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (which is technically based on a comic book anyway) offered old folks a degree of respite with a grungy-Spider-Verse art style and the half-shelled heroes’ signature anarchism.
It’s equally strange that the Transformers franchise, eight feature films in, has spent most of the last 17 years appealing to teenage boys and your mate’s mate who you wish you weren’t obliged to keep inviting to the pub. 2018’s Bumblebee was the first film to break the series’ tradition of being both uncomfortably leery and headache-inducingly dull.

[This story contains spoilers for Transformers: One.]
For the past decade, Eric Pearson has been a go-to writer for Marvel Studios, penning hits such as Thor: Ragnarok and Black Widow — and writing upcoming features such as Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four: First Steps. Along the way, he’s taking forays into other franchises, such as Godzilla vs. Kong, and most recently, he stepped into another storied universe with Transformers: One.
The animated feature tells how two best friends Orion Pax (Chris Hemsworth)and D-16 (Brian Tyree Henry) became mortal enemies known as Optimus Prime and Megatron.
Pearson spent weeks on the Paramount lot in a conference room near director Josh Cooley, working from an earlier script from fellow scribes Andrew Barrer Gabriel Ferrari. Among other things, Pearson focused on crafting an opening that made an exposition-heavy scene go down smooth, and took pride in pushing the limits of a PG rating.

As with leading men, the winner of Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars is usually one of the more seasoned competitors. Of the 88 winners to date, only four Best Supporting Actor champs were in their 20s and just 15 were thirtysomething, including 2021 champ Daniel Kaluuya (“Judas and the Messiah”). The 2024 winner, Robert Downey, Jr., was 58 when he picked up his prize for “Oppenheimer.” He joined 16 previous winners who were in their 50s when they took home the trophy. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Supporting Actor.)
While Kieran Culkin has been acting for most of his 42 years, he really flourished in just the last few years on the family drama “Succession.” He won an Emmy last year for his role as a wayward son and could well win an Oscar as another slacker in Jesse Eisenberg‘s “A Real Pain.”

“What you think about girls’ boxing?” The man asking that is Jason Crutchfield (Brian Tyree Henry), the coach of a boys’ boxing club in Flint, Michigan. It’s 2012, and five years before he’d allowed one girl to join his club (even though it was against protocol): a coiled 11-year-old scowler named Claressa Shields, played by Jazmin Headley and then, as she grows up, by Ryan Destiny.
Claressa, the heroine of “The Fire Inside,” has the dogged determination to pummel her way into the ring. It’s not as if she talks her way in — Claressa, as we learn, doesn’t say much. She speaks with her fists. And one of the reasons she’s so brilliant at using them is that, by her own admission, she likes to hit people. She’s a bully, and owns it. She’s coming from a place of severe hardship: father behind bars,...

The State of the Race
Predicting the Best Supporting Actor nominees can be especially hard because when there is a celebrated ensemble film, that ensemble is often comprised primarily of men. So coming out of a year where the Best Picture race is more of an even playing field there is not one film in particular that anyone can firmly say will get a bunch of their actors nominated into this category. It could still go any number of ways.
All that said, it is probably more fun to operate off...

‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,’ ‘Transformers One’ Fly Above ‘The Wild Robot’ at International Box Office
Warner Bros. and Tim Burton’s sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and Paramount’s animated “Transformers One” topped international box office charts over Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s “The Wild Robot.”
Among Hollywood titles, “Transformers One” led the way with $16.6 million from 61 international territories, representing a 44% decline from the prior weekend. “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” which opened earlier in September, added a strong $13.6 million from 77 markets over the weekend. Meanwhile, “The Wild Robot,” which is staggering its foreign rollout and is comparatively playing on far fewer screens, brought in $9.86 million from 29 markets.
“The Wild Robot” lifted off internationally last weekend with $6.85 million and has grossed $18.1 million overseas to date. The animated sci-fi story, directed by Chris Sanders, was No. 1 in North America with $35 million, bringing its worldwide tally to $53 million. It opened this weekend in Mexico ($3.7 million) and held strong in Australia. In China, ticket sales dropped by 74% with $821,000 over the weekend and $5 million in total.

Box Office: ‘Megalopolis’ Crumbles With $4 Million, ‘The Wild Robot’ Lands at No. 1 With $35 Million
Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s “The Wild Robot” landed in first place on box office charts, taking flight on the higher end of expectations with $35 million from 3,962 venues. Meanwhile, Francis Ford Coppola‘s sci-fi epic “Megalopolis” collapsed in its box office debut, collecting an anemic $4 million from 1,854 North American theaters.
Ticket sales for “Megalopolis” were less than initial projections of $5 million to $7 million, which would have been financially disastrous for the $120 million-budgeted film. By comparison, Kevin Costner’s mostly self-funded $100 million-budgeted passion project “Horizon: An American Saga – Part One” arrived to $11 million over the summer before tapping out with $36 million worldwide. As a result, plans to release “Part Two” were indefinitely paused.
With poor word of mouth (the film received a “D+” grade on CinemaScore), “Megalopolis” opened in sixth place behind three holdover titles and the Indian Telugu-language action film “Devara: Part 1.” Reviews have been wildly divisive with the...

Optimus Prime and Megatron are back in the animated film Transformers One from Paramount and Hasbro. The film surprisingly received positive reviews from the critics and it was praised for its story, animation, and voice acting. However, the positive word-of-mouth seems to not reach audiences, as the film continues to underperform at the box office.

The initial predictions suggested that it would easily gross over $30 million in its opening weekend. However, the film’s first-day collection, including Wednesday and Thursday night previews, could only add up to $9.6 million. The film fell behind the predicted numbers, debuting at $24.6 million.

Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s new film “The Wild Robot” is booting up with a better-than-expected $34 million opening weekend.
Director Chris Sanders’ animated film was originally projected to make between $24 million to $30 million in its opening weekend. The family friendly movie launched with $11.3 million on Friday and will take the box office crown from Warner Bros.’ “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” Tim Burton’s horror comedy has reigned over the charts for the past three weeks and is on track for second place with $16 million in its fourth week of release.
Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” is finally hitting theaters this weekend after premiering over the summer at the Cannes Film Festival. However, it’s on track to make $4.6 million in its opening weekend, less than initial projections of $5 million to $7 million. It’s made $1.84 million so far from 1,854 North American theaters. The film carries a $120 million budget, which was mostly self-financed by Coppola.

Transformers One: 10 Major Autobots and Decepticons We Would Love to See in the Sequel - Main Image
Transformers One was finally released over the weekend, featuring the return of fan-favorite Autobots and Decepticons to the big screen. However, as the story revolves around the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron on Cybertron, it's understandable that not all the bots from the franchise appear in the prequel movie.
In addition to Orion Pax/Optimus Prime (Chris Hemsworth), D-16/Megatron (Brian Tyree Henry), Elita-1 (Scarlett Johansson), and B-127/Bumblebee (Keegan-Michael Key), classic Transformers characters like Sentinel Prime, Airachnid, Starscream, Soundwave, and Shockwave have made their way into Transformers One.

Paramount’s latest Transformers movie, an animated prequel called Transformers One, has struggled at the box office despite positive reviews. The film debuted with $24.6 million in its first weekend, below projections of $30-35 million.
Instead, another animated movie called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice topped the box office with $25.9 million in its third week. Industry insiders are surprised by Transformers One’s weak opening as it has a 98% score from audiences and stellar reviews from critics.
The film explores the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron on their home planet of Cybertron. Josh Cooley directed the $75 million film, which uses animation to depict Cybertron more affordably than live-action. Voices include Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry.
While reviews praised Transformers One, box office data show some potential issues. Only 24% of its audience was aged 18-24, key for past Transformers films, compared to 40% for last year’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Behind the scenes, filmmakers Phil Lord and Chris Miller weren’t the happiest of campers when their critical darling Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse opened to $35 million domestically in early December 2018. After all, the CGI-animated film had earned effusive reviews and a coveted A+ CinemaScore from audiences, with many predicting a $40 million opening or more.
Their angst turned out to be for naught. Thanks to exceptional word of mouth — the most precious of commodities to Hollywood marketers — the PG pic took off. Embraced by both families and fanboys, the Sony film topped out at $190 million domestically, an unheard of multiple. Expanding its marquee superhero franchise to include both an animated film series and a live-action stable of films was an IP coup, since it meant being able to grow the kid and family side of the aisle.

It was supposed to be a big weekend at the box office for Paramount Pictures as "Transformers One," the brand-new, computer-animated origin story for the Autobots and Decepticaon, hit theaters. The film has been met with rave reviews, including from /Film's Rafael Motamayor, even winning over some of the biggest naysayers who had long since abandoned the franchise. Unfortunately, the animated flick was met with a muted response from moviegoers, leaving the future of the series on uncertain ground.
Director Josh Cooley's "Transformers One" opened with an estimated $25 million domestically, placing in second in a tight race as Warner Bros.' "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" won out for a third straight weekend with $26 million. In a race that tight, the placement hardly matters. What does matter is the film was expected to open with at least $35 million. The only good news here is that "Transformers One" carries a relatively modest $75 million budget.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph has already brought her vocal chops to “Rustin,” “High Fidelity,” and the upcoming Pharrell Williams biopic, but the Academy Award winner is ready to fully showcase her opera background onscreen.
Randolph told IndieWire while attending the “Through Her Lens” cocktail reception, hosted by Tribeca and Chanel, that Pablo Larraín’s buzzy Maria Callas film “Maria” has opened the door for opera biopics — and Randolph is more than ready to bring history-making Leontyne Price’s story to the screen.
“It’s ironic because Angelina Jolie has the Maria Callas biopic [‘Maria’] coming up,” Randolph said. “I’m a classically trained opera singer. I want to do a biopic of an opera singer.”
Leontyne Price is celebrated as one of the great modern vocalists — she played title roles in both “Porgy and Bess” and “Aida.” If a success, “Maria” — and Randolph — could be what ultimately ushers Price’s legacy into movie theaters.

The final box office fate of Paramount/Hasbro’s animated film “Transformers One” was never going to be written on opening weekend. But after a soft $25 million domestic start, now it’s up in the air whether this origin tale for Optimus Prime and Megatron will strike a chord with moviegoers who aren’t already fans of the ’80s franchise.
Hitting theaters a year after the solid theatrical run of Paramount’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” “Transformers One” is part of a broader effort by the studio to build its name among families and general audiences alike as a major player in the theatrical animation space.
The Melrose studio, which earned a respectable $844 million in North America in 2023 but saw its theatrical revenues plummet 40% last quarter to $138 million amid strike-related delays that pushed “Mission: Impossible 8” to 2025, is using top IP like “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “SpongeBob...

Transformers One is Not Even Close to Beating Beetlejuice Beetlejuice's Hot Box Office Streak - Main Image
The long-awaited Tim Burton sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has yet to get toppled off the box office ranks, even by the likes of Transformers One which showed a lot of promise prior to its release.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is Still on a Roll Beating Transformers at the Box Office
Despite Transformers One garnering 89% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and an indication of strong audience scores, it would seem the animation prequel is not even close to beating Beetlejuice Beetlejuice over its hot spot on top.
"This is a lukewarm opening for an animation adaptation in a live-action series," David A. Gross of movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research recently said.
"Industry expectations are high for a big series like this, but an animation adaptation is not going to hold all or even most its live-action audience,...

The spooky comedy sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” held onto the number one spot at the box office for a third consecutive weekend. It added another $26 million domestically, bringing its total earnings in North America to $225 million. Globally, the film has made $329.7 million. However, the new animated “Transformers” film opened lower than industry projections.
“Transformers One,” the first “Transformers” theatrical film since 1986, opened with $25 million domestically. Analysts had estimated it would make between $30-$40 million in its debut. Internationally, it took in an additional $14 million for a worldwide opening of $39 million total. The $75 million production fell short of projections.
Despite lower-than-expected earnings, “Transformers One” won strong praise from critics and audiences. Review site Rotten Tomatoes shows an impressive 89% rating from critics and an even higher 98% audience score. One reviewer called it “in-depth” look at the robots before they could transform. The film provides the voices of stars like Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry,...

Industry estimates for the weekend had Paramount’s Transformers One, the critically acclaimed animated prequel, easily winning the weekend box office race with about $40 million. In our box office predictions, we were somewhat more conservative, expecting the animated pic to earn about $30 million. Yet, in a surprise twist of fate at the weekend box office, the film underperformed pretty drastically, allowing Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to win the box office crown for the third week in a row, with the hit sequel making $26 million compared to Transformers One’s $25 million.
So what happened? It could be that audiences have just grown weary of the Transformers franchise, which has been on a downslide at the box office since back in 2017 when Transformers: The Last Knight earned about half what the previous instalment, Age of Extinction, did domestically. Since then, none of the Transformers movies have performed all that well domestically,...

Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s “The Wild Robot” took flight at the international box office with $6.85 million from eight markets.
Top markets were China with $4 million and Australia with $1.9 million. The film, a sci-fi survival story about a robot that’s marooned on an uninhabited island, will roll out in North America and several other international territories on Sept. 27. Since reviews have been enthusiastic, “The Wild Robot” could become a surprise box office force. Lupita Nyong’o voices the isolated android called Rozzum unit 7134, who goes by Roz and learns to adapt to the harsh surroundings by gradually building relationships with other animals.
Another animated offering, Paramount and Hasbro’s “Transformers One,” stumbled with $14 million while debuting in 50 international markets. It earned just double that of “The Wild Robot” despite having six times the footprint. “Transformers One” had the biggest start in Mexico with $2.2 million followed by Australia with $1.5 million, Japan...

Optimus Prime and Megatron put up a fight, but in the end, the robots were no match for everyone’s favorite bio-exorcist.
After an unusually close box office race, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” emerged victorious over newcomer “Transformers One” to retain the No. 1 spot for three consecutive weekends. The spooky Warner Bros. sequel added a strong $26 million from 4,172 theaters, bringing its tally to $225 million domestically and $329.7 million globally.
Meanwhile, “Transformers One” kicked off behind expectations with $25 million from 3,978 venues. It’s a meager start for Paramount and Hasbro’s animated movie, which cost $75 million and was targeting a start of $30 million to $40 million. It only brought in $14 million internationally for a worldwide total of $39 million. Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry and Scarlett Johansson lead the voice cast of “Transformers One,” the franchise’s first theatrical animated film since 1986’s “The Transformers: The Movie.” That film was a box office disappointment, though its...
