Transformers: Dark of the Moon explodes into theaters with $37.2 million on opening day.
The $37.2 million tally includes the $8 million Transformers: Dark of the Moon earned in midnight screenings, but not the $5.5 million it took in during Tuesday night sneak peeks, bringing the movie's two-day tally to $42.7 million. Despite the downturn in 3D ticket sales, it is said that over 60% of Transformers: Dark of the Moon's admissions were for 3D screenings. However, even with the bump in 3D sales, Transformers: Dark of the Moon couldn't outpace the whopping $62 million that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen earned in 2009.
Paramount Pictures is expecting Transformers: Dark of the Moon to earn between $155 million and $170 million between now and the July 4 holiday on Monday. We'll be keeping you posted on Transformers: Dark of the Moon's box office performance throughout the weekend, so stay tuned.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon was released June 29th, 2011 and stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Julie White, Kevin Dunn, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Alan Tudyk, John Malkovich. The film is directed by Michael Bay.

@ghostman i was gonna make Kicker's dad like Craig Robinson and His mom Tichina Arnold (the lady who played Pam on Martin) and have a plot that make Mom who was pregnaut at the time discover the tomb the primes and one the Primes sends a "The Knowledge Flash" Flash to her but she doesn't get but Kicker does causing Kicker to excell in science, Mechanics, Math, Physics, and smarter than the Average Human

@Monkey-iron HP stands for Harry Potter lol :P I think having Sam be the father would be making him look like a guy who can't comment to a relationship. First he couldn't keep Mikaela, and now he's with Carly, then we make him get with some other woman? lol! How about we change Kicker's dad to Epps. Sound good?

I cant wait to see the final numbers for this film. I knew critics were going to do everything they could to bad mouth this movie. Nice try a$$holes!!!!! This movie is by far the best of the series and the best of the summer. I think HP will come in a very close second but I am not to happy that HP run time is only a smidge over 2 hours. Bay got it right this time people!! TF3 is a must see!

I'm gonna see it hope my ass isn't to late cuz one of my friends told me the sh*t was sold out last night.

Hmm.. these are disappointing numbers. Especially with 3D to factor in . The original Transformers made $27 million and it wasn't a huge sequel and it had no 3D. I'm sure with the word of mouth it will hold up quite well. Watch for this to match the performance of Spider-Man 2 identically. They've posted similar numbers so far and they have similar word of mouth.

@Monkey-iron you know what would really trip ppls minds about that 'Kicker idea' what if his father is Sam? crazy right? If yeah's black, then that means Carly isn't the baby mama! XD

@sean kicker is a human who has born knowledge and intellgence of cybertron and he becomes the 1st human Autobot because his father once fought with the AutoBots. But I want Kicker to be black

@sean i know this because we know he's a good actor and all but let's face we all want to see him continue his work as Sam but if he doesn't comeback They can make Kicker a new main character

@gl.TDK.TF. u joking or what LOL people had 14 years to best the last B.O king (Titanic) but it was Cameron who had to come back and kick ass to the top again so no i dont think Bay will top that with this even when it was great best out of the 2
but lets just say Avatar will be replaced in 2014 with Avatar 2 =P

@gl.TDK.TF.
That would be great ! I would like to see that happen with Transformers: Dark of the Moon, because i am tired of Avatar being the highest grossing movie of all time still, and because no other movie has been able to surpass it's total box office gross since it came out back in 2009.

Wonder if it will surpass AVATAR's Gross revenue.
