Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Takes in Another $27 Million

Source:  Variety
Director Michael Bay's new blockbuster sequel keeps raking in the dough. According to Variety, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen took in an estimated $27 million on Thursday.

The highest five-day gross for a film opening on a Wednesday is Spider-Man 2's $152.4 million, a mark which Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen could surpass. It remains to be seen, though, if the film can top the all-time five-day tally set by The Dark Knight's $203.8 million gross. Some estimates put Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen's five-day haul between $160 and $180 million, though some believe it could be even higher.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is playing in 4,234 screens, and 169 of which are IMAX screens, where another record was set as well. IMAX reported that the film grossed $1 million on opening day, a single-day record, with a hefty $24,000 per-screen average on IMAX screens.

Well each is privileged to their own opinion.

Action & SFX wise and eye candy wise, Transformers 2 was amazing.
A great film but definately not a blockbuster

Watchmen was good, very complexed and i have to give the writer of the and yes Zack Synder major kudos, for bringing that film to life, considering the struggle they went through and of course how long it suffered in production hell.
But man, they could have at least gave Dr Manhattan some boxers, i mean what did they do run out of production money?

But still my own individualised opinion stands.
Star Trek (is best movie of the year so far)
&
Drag Me To Hell (Is second but its the most original film we have seen in a long time, and Raimi redeemed himself)

Hmmmm its a nice title Diaigma....What about?

Transformers: Unicron shoves his Galavatron In The Earth

Transformers: Unicron Humps the Earth

Anyone?

Saw it last night, and I didnt really like it.
The first one was better.

Drag me to hell???? not going to even comment on that....Transformers as in regards to a blockbuster and action...was better than any other movie, except maybe Star trek, the story carried the movie along ways....you went to see transformers based on its oscar worthyness??? or special effects

watchmen had nothing exciting about it at all, Transformers obviously wasnt great, but it delivered its SFX, more than most movies usually do.........its like u guys sit here with your note pads and critique a michael bay film to get an oscar, are you really serious? the movie did it we all know it was gonna do, draw huge crowds and bring generations of Transformers fans together, it doesnt have to be well written for people to enjoy the action in it

Thanks J.A. I appreciate the explanation either way. i respect all opinions on here whether you like or dont like the same films, by the way it was a well written review.

star trek at least had teh story to intrigue you, though the acting was thin...that was a fun movie..

i think watchmen tops this crap as far as movies of the year...
  (Delete)
June 26th, 2009 11:17pm
movie was lame, even the people who like have to admit it sucked...they were just wowed by the big booms and what not....

and as far as drag me to hell?
that movie was nothing but buch a bunch of random images at the worst times...

by far 2 of the worst movies this year....

I thought it was a cool movie. I've seen it twice so far.

I kinda felt sorry that i hadn't seen any reviews more than 2 stars in the UK...
The acting was good, the story sucked, the visuals were amazing and the directing was good in the terms of camera work.

I guess when you see the first time you too amazed at the production, but when you look at it from a film or a director/writer perspective, the film is a barrage of explosions and metal smashing together, which is a waste of great production money.

I hope that answers and fulfills your curiousity, Incmob

J.A, just out of curiosity, your review gave the film 4.5 stars, yet here you say it sucks, and was a disappointment? what gives?
  (Delete)
June 26th, 2009 8:38pm
Actually rephrase that apparently PUBLIC ENEMIES is the best action film of the year.
  (Delete)
June 26th, 2009 8:35pm
mate, this one sucked. sorry to say, the only thing interesting is Megan Fox and robots knocking ten ton of shit out of each.
Its like a live-action megazords without no power rangers, mindless plot development, mindless character development, way tooooooo long.
Also this one just seemed like a rehash of the first installment, except lets pretend to kill of Optimus, add in more transformers, which aren't worth bringing in to the story and introduce a crummy villain, known as the fallen. OOOOO and lets not forget the annoying room mate, you wanted to die but never did

Best action film of the year, most probable

But this film has not touched status as Best Film Of The Year, and its far from it.

Best movies of the year so far, in my opinion are
Star Trek & Drag Me To Hell

One was a very faithful spectacular reboot, while the other was brilliant in portraying what Hollywood is lacking, originality, plus Sam went back to his roots.

Stop smoking crack please. This one was much better in all categories than the first one. Star Trek was good, and so Drag me to Hell, but def not movies of the year.

Nah, this film was a dissappointment, the first one owns it.

and best film of the year plz - Star Trek & Drag Me To Hell.

Plus the news currently will shatter this films box office, the news of course being that of MJ, everyone is paying respects and mourning the loss of a legend, not excited about Transformers 2 no more.

I've seen this movie twice and I was pleased both times. I don't understand why anyone would expect anything other than action from a film like this. It's the summer, people just want to be entertained. If you want an indepth plot and oscar worthy acting, wait til September when all that serious stuff comes out.

And if another person compares this to The Dark Knight somebody ought to slap them. Dark Knight is a rare breed of summer movies.

wow
this movie's gonna dominate the box office despite the number of bad reviews

June 26th, 2009 12:25pm
i agree, the AMC i went to today to see it for the 2nd time has it on 5 screens lol, to avoid any sold out disappointments, the action was throughout the entire movie, it went from action to sam at school to action lol
  (Delete)
June 26th, 2009 12:22pm
two and a half hours. Who could possibly have thought this movie would be entertaining at that length. At around 100 minutes, I semi-seriously considered the possibility that the movie would never end, and I would never be permitted to leave
  (Delete)
June 26th, 2009 12:19pm
ya in Toronto the AMC is $6 before noon lol, i saw it on IMAX $16.95 for a free voucher b/c the fight in the desert we didnt see, it went black.....

there is always way too much hype on any summer blockbuster or even the one in March (cough) Watchmen (cough)...look how shitty terminator did in the US

June 26th, 2009 12:15pm
Psssssss.... Also here in Phoenix, Ariziona...("Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" wasn't all that great about a C- !) ...Anyways ..I should have waited for a Fri, Sat or Sun shoing because any showing 'BEFORE" 12:00 NOON IS ONLY $5.00!!!

I paid $9.75 & well "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" was "NOT" worth it!!

Thank God I only paid $5.00 for the "Remake" of "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" which was a dud ..and Oh Um! ...not worth $9.75...I'm kicking myself I didn't wait till the weekend to see ..."Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen"....too much hype on this Summer film!...!!!

June 26th, 2009 12:13pm
The reason the film took in an estimated $27 million on Thursday ..Is so many people couldn't get into other showings Opening day; & Unlike me and my friends who had to go to to at least 3 theaters (Opening Day!) before we found 1 theater that wasn't ALL SOLD OUT" ...Most of those people that went to showings on Wed (06/24/2009) & were told they were sold out were smart... They just went home and waited a day to see it!!!!

It looks like there are lots of brainless people with tons of money.

June 26th, 2009 12:07pm
sliver.....where do you get 110 million? its already at 87 million, the weekend is always busier (usually) it will make easily $160 million after 5 days or re you referring to $110 million this weekend?
  (Delete)
June 26th, 2009 10:05am
Well, I saw this shit coming from the very first preview! This film is Krazy with a capital "K" and I'll probably end up seeing this 3-5 times b4 it leaves theaters!!!
