Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson and Brian Tyree Henry star in the animated origins pic, which rolls into theaters this September.

Paramount and Hasbro’s animated Transformers One is pushing back its release in theaters by one week in order to take advantage of Imax screens and to provide some breathing room from the competition.

The film will now open Sept. 20, 2024, instead of Sept. 13. That gives it two weeks of distance from Sony’s Beetlejuice.

Paramount revealed the date change as it launched a new trailer for Transformers One from nowhere other than space — a first for Hollywood, according to the studio.

The launch kicked off at 6 a.m. PT with a live-streamed countdown showing the journey into space.

After one hour, the craft reached its peak at 125,000 feet above the Earth, revealing the trailer with a custom introduction video from voice stars Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry.

Theater owners were treated to a sneak peek of the trailer last week at CinemaCon, where Hemsworth and Henry also introduced the first scene from the movie in 3D.
