"Coming off its first five days in release, with an estimated gross of $201.2 million, Michael Bay's hit sequel "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" took its place in the movie history books by breaking several major box office records.
From Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg, the Paramount Pictures release joins "The Dark Knight" as only the second film in history to gross $200 million or more in its first five days. Simultaneously, the Transformers sequel eclipsed the previous Wednesday-Sunday record holder "Spider-Man 2" by grossing nearly $50 million more in ticket sales in the U.S. The film has taken over "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix's" previous title as biggest Wednesday opener, besting the film by over $15 million.
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" became the third largest worldwide opening weekend grosser, earning $274 million and beating out last summer's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Film has become the Studio's biggest international opener of all time, again besting "Indy 4" for the top honor, and ranking as the industry's 4th biggest opening of all time abroad.
The film's IMAX run also logged record-breaking milestones, becoming the biggest five-day gross for a Wednesday-opening title, with $14.4 million in tickets sales compared to "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix's" prior record of $7.3 million.
"Michael Bay has once again proven he's an outstanding filmmaker with a unique ability to connect with audiences," said Paramount Pictures Corporation Chairman and CEO Brad Grey. "The entire Paramount family is proud to be behind him and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with him in the future."
The 2007 release of "Transformers" opened to $70.5 million in the U.S. and eventually went on to earn $319.2 million domestically, and more than $700 million worldwide. The sequel has taken in $387 million worldwide to date, with final figures for the weekend due Monday."
Bring on Transformers 3!
And we'll see how it does next weekend. Word of mouth is poor. Only one person I talked to liked it. EVERYONE else either didn't or hated it. To each their own but I'm predicting a major downfall come next weekend numbers, and not just the usual downfall.

totally agree. after 30 minutes into the movie i was ready for it to be over. the CGI was of course awesome, but the last battle was retarded.... i couldn't tell who was who because all the decepticons look exactly the same. meh...Oh God, not this excuse.
As long as Bay has the reins, yes.
Honestly do you love Batman & Robin? Or the Adam West series?
Maybe you'll love G.I.Joe, too.
Dogs Humping, Robots Humping, Robots Farting , Robot Balls, Robot Dicks, Stereotypical Gangsta Wannabes. Sex, Drugs, Swearing.
This is Transformers?
No wonder this movie is doing great. It plays to the lowest common denominator. It was a huge waste of time. There were some good parts, but the bad craps all over the good.
It sure was epic. Epically Retarded.
It actually makes me like the first movie a bit. That was at least not such a huge cluster^^^^.

Let the haters suck on that.
Good movies and flops are judge on the box office take. TF2 is clearly a huge hit.
That's the only thing I have against the movie incarnations of the decepticons, they're all the same mix of tones on a grey scale, at least with the autobots there are colors to tell who's who, but in quick action, it's hard to separate decepticons, even some of the voices are close, Starscream and Megatron are similar enough.
Uh... NO. Box Office is not and never has been the barometer for quality. Lots and lots of very bad movies make tons of money and lots of very good movies come and go with a whimper. It's been that way forever and always will be.
Like the movie all you want (you don't need to defend your own opinion). But if you're going to point at box office numbers as validation of that opinion you need to play a different tune. All it means is that the movie is popular (or that a ton of people went to see it)... it doesn't serve as proof that it's good.

yeah i said that in the first movie....megatron and starscream looked exactly the same to me....and its the same in this movie.
Fortunately the Fallen had those things sticking out the side of his head which made his design stand out.

I saw it again yesterday with my brother, it is still bad ass and he LOVED it, he is not a TF fan by the way so he has no bias for it whatsoever. I told him about all the hate that is being spread here and he said you are all ^^^^ing crazy.
Let's see you Weeny, I'll let ya know what I see.
Maybe I'll let ya walk the plank!

The funny thing is, there is an epic story and/or some intriguing elements for one in this movie! They're just completely overshadowed by the tasteless, cringe-inducing attempts at "humor" and the lack of focus on any one thing to follow it through. Bay managed this fine in the first movie, all the while making a film that could manage to totally grab it's toy-buying intended audience while still engaging everyone else. Not so here...
Funny you mention that....the only unintended laugh Bay squeezed out of me was during Shai & Megan's clinch at the end, after all that running through dirt and grease, he looked totally filthy while she looked like she just stepped out of a salon....I thought that was hilarious.
I agree...this movie benefited from the very large DVD/BR sales of the first one and being such a big brand name....I think the drop will be big (70% or more)....but then again, the masses love a good bowl of swill so it may maintain those big numbers...but as Irish points out...
...and by the same token, "good" (ie: movies I like) may do moderate to poor BO business but it doesn't stop me from watching them. This year, the two movies I really enjoyed and look forward to multiple viewings of (Watchmen & Terminator Salvation) both were considered BO disappointments, but they both were much better movies than this latest "Transformers" one (IMHO of course
)...

Funny how things turn out. Of the offering this summer, this is the order I was anticipating them in.
1. Transformers
2. Terminator Salvation
3. Wolverine
4. Public Enemies
5. Halloween 2
6. Star Trek
So far, this is where they're stacking up in enjoyment.
1. Star Trek
2. Terminator: Salvation
3. Wolverine
4. Transformers
If it weren't for STAR TREK, UP!, DRAG ME TO HELL and THE HANGOVER this Summer would be a total bust so far.
Yeah, last summer was a much better offering to me, Incredible Hulk, Dark Knight, Iron Man, X-Files 2. I thoroughly enjoyed and loved 4 movies from last summer, even though i have my rankings, Star Trek's been the only movie this summer I've loved.

For me it's been:
1. Star Trek
2. Transformers
3. Up
4. The Taking of Pelham 123
5. Terminator: Salvation
6. Wolverine
The theater was packed today where I was which I haven't seen for a long time for a matinee. Anyway, the buzz from the people coming out is how much they liked or loved it.
I don't understand why people have to hate on a movie that they don't like so much. I didn't care that much for UP like so many others did, but I'm not gonna go on and on about it. It's not like you're gonna change anyone's mind!
