They are predicting 165 million over the first 5 days of opening. Supposed to break Titanic's record when its all said and done.

I love that one part in the preview where Megan Fox is bent over that motorcycle. Who cares about Megatron's return, let's see more Megan!

I think the Dark Knight had a shot but fizzled near the end. The fact Titanic stayed at #1 for 15 weeks straight is amazing, considering no movie this year has repeated as #1 the following week.

I bet if you adjust for inflation, the original Star Wars (A New Hope, Episode IV) would spank Titanic. Unless the numbers Deeble linked to are in 2009 dollars.

Yeah. Adjusted for inflation, the old Gone with the Wind is the highest grossing movie ever. (I think)

The Dark Knight was great, but there weren't enough repeat viewers. I remember I was in first grade and all the girls in my class had seen the movie multiple times, and some of my high school teachers told me many girls had seen the movie between 7-10 times.

My roommate is infatuated with Megan Fox and Transformers. I don't dig either. I grew up on Transformers, though.

It does. And Gone With the Wind blows them all away.

Hmm, I would think since major box office movies don't get released on DVD for a couple of months it wouldn't be a problem. Unless your talking about where the bootlegger films in the theater, but who the heck buys those?

I don't buy them... I just stream them for free... but I don't even do that with the video taped ones.

Think im the only person in the country that isnt really excited about this movie.

I've grown to come to this opinion. A couple of weeks ago, yea, I was pretty darn excited. Now, not so much. I thought about it, and realized something; that being that the 1st one wasn't that good to begin with, and this looks to follow the same formula.

What do you expect? NIETZSCHE?

It is made from a cartoon advertising a toy product!

Go get the Glass Menagerie on dvd and a bottle of jergens and you will no doubt have a better time!

:hi:

Ebert's review is hilarious. He gave it 1 star (he gave the first one 3 stars). Some snippets:

quote:
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination.



quote:
The movie has been signed by Michael Bay. This is the same man who directed "The Rock" in 1996. Now he has made "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." Faust made a better deal. This isn't a film so much as a toy tie-in.



quote:
Aware that this movie opened in England seven hours before Chicago time and the morning papers would be on the streets, after writing the above I looked up the first reviews as a reality check. I was reassured: "Like watching paint dry while getting hit over the head with a frying pan!" (Bradshaw, Guardian); "Sums up everything that is most tedious, crass and despicable about modern Hollywood!" (Tookey, Daily Mail); "A giant, lumbering idiot of a movie!" (Edwards, Daily Mirror).
