‘Transformers One’ Launches Trailer In Space, A First For A Movie Studio; Pic Going Later In September

Paramount’s highest tested animated film in the studio’s history, Transformers One, is going now on Sept. 20 instead of Sept. 13.

The move comes as the studio has secured Imax screens for the movie produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Don Murphy, Tom DeSanto, Michael Bay, Mark Vahradian, and Aaron Dem. In addition, the reception for the 3D movie was so phenomenal out of CinemaCon last week, Paramount had to give the movie the best launch pad. Late September has been a rich bed for family animated movies including Hotel Transylvania 2 ($48.2M opening), Hotel Transylvania ($42.5M opening) and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs ($34M opening).

Today, Paramount outdid itself and launched the first trailer for the Optimus Prime and Megatron origin buddy movie — in space.
