The well-past-exhaused “Transformers” franchise may have one more King of the Box Office weekend left in it, thanks to decent Thursday previews and a $25 million, all-in Friday.

Deadline.com is projecting that — thanks to the new standard multiplier — will add up to a $60 million weekend for “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.” Reviews won’t do it any favors, but those committed to this toy-based franchise are in too deep to wake up now.

“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” doesn’t get to add in its Thursday numbers, it being on its second weekend. It looks like the over-rated animated comic book will still sell enough tickets to perhaps yank the prize away from the newcomer. It is projected to pull in $55, not quite 50% of what it managed when it opened.

The third weekend of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” remake is holding audience and heading towards a $22-23 million take on its third weekend. It’s cleared $200 million already, not bad for a middling film. It’s doing OK overseas, save for the more racist cultures of the Far East.

WAaaaaaaaay below that, “Boogeyman,” “Guardians/Galaxy Vol. 3” and a fast-fading “Fast X” are stacking up the finish off the top six, as nothing else of wide appeal opens on a lot of screens.

“Guardians” took fourth place, another $7 million.
