Michael Bay’s latest sci-fi action adventure (perhaps his last in the series?) is outselling all previous Transformers movies at the same point in the Fandango sales cycle, and is pacing similarly to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Godzilla and X-Men: Days of Future Past.

On Fandango’s weekly movie recommendation show, “Weekend Ticket,” guest host Tiffany Smith catches up with Transformers: Age of Extinction star Mark Wahlberg.
“It came with a great script, but Michael Bay encouraged me to come up with stuff during the rehearsal process,” Wahlberg told Smith. “He said, what would you say here, what would you say there, and the digs and insults flowed pretty naturally from me!”
