"Transformers 2" Earned $60 Million on WednesdayPosted: June 25th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
Grossing over $60 million, Paramount's sequel "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" easily scored the best opening day ever for a Wednesday release at the domestic box office, according to preliminary estimates.
Previous record-holder was "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which grossed $44.2 million when opening on a Wednesday in July 2007.
"Transformer 2's" opening day haul is also the second best of all time after "The Dark Knight," which grossed $67.2 million on its first day in release (a Friday).
"Transformers 2's" opening day gross included $16 million in midnight runs, the best run ever for a film released on a Wednesday. And it's the third-best of all time after "The Dark Knight" ($18.5 million) and "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" ($16.9 million).
Domestically, estimates have "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" grossing $150 million-$170 million over its five-day debut. That means that the film has a strong shot of surpassing the $152.4 million earned by "Spider-Man 2."

The movie was cool action wise but had a thin plot and weak character development. I enjoyed it still but i wont see it 3 times in theatres like the first one.

Will it be as profitable as The Blair Witch Project? Survey says: most likely not.

As you aptly put it, JRprime, it's not the film's problem it's stupid as sh*t --- it's definitely a problem of the Transporter fans, who are older than eight. ;)
I don't know if H-wood is to blame for wasting ONCE AGAIN $300 mil. on a "franchise" for mentally challenged preteens - or the mass-public that seems to be asking for that exact sh*t.

I don't need a movie to be spiritual and enlightening or intellectual. That's why I'm going to school. Transformers 2 is my all-time favorite movie now.

@shayhiri, actually, i thought the movie was great, its an action movie, i expected action, i saw action. the movie is not supposed to be about the dialogue. sure they couldve developed certain characters more. but honestly i dont even care about that. again, its exactly what its supposed to be, an action film. and can everyone stop about racism and the twins? just stop.

i loved the first transfomers but fallen was horrible,a rushed procduction which was made for one goal,to carry on the wave of success of the first movie so it could make a lot of money at the box office...

The film was a huge success, if you were looking for an enjoyable, eye-popping, special effects thrill ride. I was kind of looking for that in addition to some character development and an interesting plot within similar to the first one. Its not hard to ask that I see similar things in the sequel, right? Well though I'll still give the film an 8/10, it was solely on entertainment purposes, the first one I gave an 8/10 as an overall movie, really well done film. I'm happy its grossed a lot and I'm happy it will do substantial work at the box office because I honestly want a third one, I like the way Bay's created this world. Sure this one was a bit much and way way way too long (or at least it seemed), it was still an entertaining movie and I'll probably see it again if a friend asked, but I won't rush to the theater like I did with the first one.

I thought it was a awesome movie!....And i do think it's way better than the first which was amazing!...I dunno why some people are saying that it sucks....this isn't a movie made for critics and it isn't about acting....its about having fun.

i loved this movie and the first! and to all u queers who think this was a bad movie..FUCK YOU. this movie had it all it had awesome action crazy special effects good humor and emotional parts. and stop hating on bay he is a outstanding director and what he did with this franchise is legendary! if some other gay ass director had took on this franchise it would have completly sucked. the acting was great so what the fuck is up with u pole smokers sayin it was stupid? you wouldnt know a great film if it sat on ur ugly fuckin face. and me personally i liked that it was long i didnt want it to end! and most of u fags are complaining it was to long..come on seriously? u knew how long it was going into it so theres no reason u should cry about it. now on the way to the theater i was worried it wouldnt top the first one. but i was dead wrong. and when it was done i walked out of that theater and said fuck the first one lets see it again! i was ready to jump back in line with a new crowd and see it again! bottom line is if u didnt enjoy this film or like it quit tryin to make other people who havnt seen it call it off because of ur shitty ass review! and if u didnt like this movie..NO ONE GIVES A SHIT WHAT U THINK! this movie was fantastic. im scared to know what u queers think is a "good" movie.. TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN 10/10 go see this movie!

@ JRPRIME u know what going on line and checking out a message board is a lot different than going to a theatre and wasting 2 hours of life taint boy. sorry if you dont get that. Perhaps u can go and day dream about putting my balls in your mouth and humming the star spangle banner one day little girl. but until then dont get confused cuz little girl and go thinking that your big shit little one. and like i said i did not give a damn dime to see this movie cuz im not going to see this shite. Go waste your time and money on this like u do on those hookers u see your mom working with on the corner of 10th and Clamidia.
