| | Posted: | | | | Quoting Entertainment Weekly (ew.com) Quote:
Transformers finished an easy No. 1 with $67.6 million, and after seven days (the Michael Bay-Shia LaBeouf movie officially opened last Tuesday, but its total box office includes last Monday's ''preview'' screenings) the film has raked in $152.6 mil domestically.
· Biggest first-week gross ever for a non-sequel (beating Spider-Man's $151.6 mil)
· A global box office total of $246.1 mil, when you add in the $93.6 mil Transformers earned in 23 other countries
· Biggest Tuesday gross ever ($27.9 mil), as well as the third-best Wednesday ($29.1 mil) and fifth-best Thursday ($19.2 mil)
· A super-solid $16,854 per-theater average in 4,011 venues
· A resounding CinemaScore rave of A from an audience that was two-thirds male but evenly split between young folk and old | | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |

| | Posted: | | | | I had the same opinion as Rifter a while back. Then I saw the trailers and it just looked such a cool movie. Looks like it will be quite funny too. |

| | Posted: | | | | I saw these numbers or heard these days today as well., I heard the weekend box office was , $67M,, I heard these numbers at 12noon PST (or 3PM EST,, .) and for those numbers to read on the noon news you can bet that info is at least 4 hours old.
Which begs me to ask: What reasoning do they give the term 'Weekend' if the entire day of Sunday hasn't even happened yet??. If it is because they are presuming and are rounding off Saturday figures and forwarding them to Sunday., how they can be so presumptuous and guess at this.?? | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

| | Posted: | | | | If you're completely anal about films and can't just enjoy a good movie, you'll hate it. Otherwise, it's so very awesome, especially for someone like me, who's a huge Transformers fan. | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:

| | Posted: | | | | I saw it last Sunday already  (guess Asia had an earlier release than the US). I enjoyed it a lot. The special effects were awesome; although at the end they went a lttle bit overboard with it, but hey, it's a Michael Bay movie! Several scenes had me roll my eyes (mind you, it was scenes with humans only!), but I guess that comes with such a film. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| | Posted: | | | | I guess I'll see it eventually, but the trailers haven't impressed me much. Oh, they're technically impressive, but computer graphics without a good story never amounted to much in my eyes.
Maybe I'll change my mind when I see the movie, but if it's anything like the trailers I very much doubt it. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | There is this 'special' theater in The Netherlands which show pre-screenings of films, and a friend of mine asked me five days before if I wanted to come, I actually didn't want to but I promissed I'd go if he could get tickets, thinking he wouldn't being only five days away....
Well he got tickets and I went, and IMO it wasn't anything like the cartoon and it was just another Michael Bay movie... | | | | Jean-Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | I saw it and I liked it. It was a great movie. Not great in the sense that Saving Private Ryan was a great movie, but in its own way good. It's Transformers. Either you like them or you don't. If you weren't in to them or didn't like them, well the movie problably won't change your mind. It's like a porno, your don't watch it for the acting or story line......
I think one thing that made this movie reach it's fan base was using the original voice of Optimus Prime. That really brought me back to my childhood.
The movie is what is... and for me it was entertaining. | | | | Last edited: by graymadder |
