Rise of the Beasts — which successfully revives the Hasbro toy-to-movie franchise after several fits and starts — landed on the high end of expectations.

While reviews have been mixed, the Paramount and Skydance pic earned an A- CinemaScore from audiences and excellent PostTrak scores.

Younger adults made up the majority of ticket buyers, with 56 percent between ages 18-34, including 34 percent between 18-24, according to PostTrak.

The male-skewing film is playing to ethnically diverse audience (Latino, 32 percent; white, 31 percent; Black, 21 percent; and Asian/Other, 16 percent).

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts also performed well overseas, earning $110 million for an early global roar of $170.5 million.

It opened to $40 million in China, a far better start than many recent Hollywood pics and the second-biggest start of the year so far. The film did notably better in many markets than Bumblebee did (China was an exception).

The tentpole is considered a direct sequel to 2018’s Bumblebee and a prequel to the first Transformers live-action film series that starred Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. The movie, directed by Steven Caple Jr., opens after a five-year hiatus for the series and opened well ahead of the past two installments; 2018’s Bumblebee reboot posted a three-day opening of $21.6 million, preceded by $44.6 million for 2017’s Transformers: The Last Knight.

Rise of the Beasts follows Optimus Prime and the Autobots on their biggest challenge yet, when a new threat capable of destroying the entire planet emerges. Together with the Maximals — who make their big-screen debut — they must save the world.

The human heroes of the story include new characters portrayed by Hamilton‘s Anthony Ramos and Swarm‘s Dominique Fishback.

Cristo Fernández voices Wheeljack, the first Latino Autobot in Transformers history, while Koshy voices the femme Autobot Arcee. Pete Davidson voices the new bot Mirage, while series stalwart Peter Cullen once again voices Optimus Prime.

Sony Animation’s box office sensation Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which opened to more than $120 million last week, fell 55 percent to an estimated $55.4 million for a 10-day domestic tally of $225.4 million — which is already more than the $190.4 million earned by Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse in its entire domestic run. Overseas, it earned another $47 million for a foreign cume of $164.5 million and $389.9 million worldwide, also ahead of the first film.

Disney’s live-action The Little Mermaid jumped the $400 million mark globally in its third outing. It placed No. 3 domestically with $22.8 million for a domestic tally of $229.8 million. Overseas, it earned another $25.9 million for a foreign tally of $185.4 million (in markets including China and South Korea, there was racist backlash).

The Disney empire also took the fourth and fifth domestically. James Gunn and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which jumped the $800 million mark globally. It finished Sunday with $805.9 million in worldwide ticket sales, a franchise record if excluding Russia.
