That\u2019s right, after this year, 2020 will be the next time you won\u2019t be able to see a new <i><i>Transformers<\/i> <\/i>movie at the cinema. Unless, of course, that\u2019s when number eight is coming out. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/paramount-sets-release-dates-for-next-3-transformers-movies\/\">According to <i>The Wrap<\/i><\/a>, <i><i>Transformers<\/i> <\/i>5 will be released on June 23rd, 2017;<i> <\/i><i><i>Transformers<\/i> <\/i><i>6 <\/i>on June 8th, 2018; and <i><i>Transformers<\/i> <\/i><i>7 <\/i>on June 28th, 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The last move in the franchise \u2014 <i><i>Transformers<\/i>: Age of Extinction<\/i> \u2014 was derided by critics when it was released in 2014, but that didn\u2019t stop it racking up more than $1 billion at the global box office. That makes it the 15th highest-grossing film of all time, and the second-highest grossing title in the <i><i>Transformers<\/i> <\/i>franchise. For movie studios, an average rating of 18 percent on<i> Rotten Tomatoes <\/i>just<i> <\/i>isn\u2019t as important.<\/p>\n<p>The next <i><i>Transformers<\/i> <\/i>trilogy will have a lot to prove though. Although Michael Bay is <a href=\"http:\/\/variety.com\/2016\/film\/news\/transformers-5-michael-bay-director-1201671793\/\">directing again<\/a>, and actor Mark Wahlberg is also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtv.com\/news\/2030612\/mark-wahlberg-transformers-5\/\">contracted for at least a few more films<\/a> in the franchise, <i><i>Transformers<\/i> <\/i>5 will be the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2015\/10\/4\/9451175\/hasbro-transformers-5-confirmed-more-than-anyone-wants\">product of a writers\u2019 room,<\/a> rather than an individual or a pair of script-writers. It\u2019s hoped that this new approach (nabbed from the TV industry), will keep the franchise fresh and exciting. We\u2019ll find out whether it succeeds or not in 2017. And 2018.
