Even Steven Spielberg stepped in to tell Bay to stop after three movies, but Bay kept going.
“I made too many of them.
Steven Spielberg said, ‘Just stop at three,’ And I said I’d stop.
The studio begged me to do a fourth, and then that made a billion too.
And then I said I’m gonna stop here.
And they begged me again.
I should have stopped.
They were fun to do,” Bay said.
“It was technology we didn’t know would work, and then it became very successful.
The latest entry in the series was Bumblebee, which Bay did not direct.
2007’s Transformers made $709.7 million to kickstart the series.
2014’s Age of Extinction made $1.104 billion to rank as Bay’s second highest-grossing Transformers movie.
The lowest-grossing of the bunch was The Last Knight, which made $605 million.
Bay’s next movie is Ambulance starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Eiza Gonzalez.
It releases April 8 in the US.
