Michael Bay’s universally panned Transformers: The Last Knight enjoyed a Theresa May-style victory at the weekend. Yes, it topped the chart as expected, but the talk is about how it failed to live up to expectations. Once the bean counters had crunched the numbers, they pronounced this fifth instalment the lowest UK opener of the series to date – by a very wide margin. 2009’s Revenge of the Fallen was the previous holder of this particular record, but that took a comparatively whopping £8.35m. The Last Knight managed a little more than half that. Could this be the merciful end of the Transformers? Don’t bank on it. Chinese punters are flocking to see this one, and it’s already earned back its budget at the global box office. All the other blockbusters held tight, with Wonder Woman continuing to perform particularly strongly, leaving Hampstead to settle for sixth place, just ahead of Hindi war flick Tubelight.
