Washington [US], April 20 : Paramount Pictures and Hasbro's much-anticipated animated feature, 'Transformers One,' has a new release date.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie is set to make its debut in theatres on September 20, 2024 instead of September 13, 2024.
The announcement of the slight delay came alongside the grand reveal of its official trailer.
In a strategic move to optimise the film's presentation and ensure maximum exposure on Imax screens, the release date was reportedly pushed back by one week.
This decision also aims to provide ample breathing space for the movie amidst the competitive landscape, granting it a two-week buffer from Sony's forthcoming flick, 'Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice.'
Paramount's unique trailer launch commenced at 6 am PT with a mesmerising livestreamed countdown, capturing the journey of the trailer into the vast expanse of space.
After an hour-long ascent, the craft reached a staggering altitude of 125,000 feet above Earth, unveiling the trailer amidst the cosmic backdrop.
The event was further enhanced with a personalised introduction video from voice stars Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry, adding an extra layer of excitement for eager fans.
