Transformers Breaks Bank And Box-Office Records

transformersposter.jpg

The new Shia LaDouche flick, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, has taken over the box office, grossing over $55 million in its first full day of release in the U.S., which garnered then the honor of the best opening day for a Wednesday release at the domestic box office.

Sorry Harry Potter (the former title holder)! Better luck next movie.

The opening day cash count in the U.S. includes the $16 million made in midnight runs. Again, it makes the flick the best run ever for a film released on a Wednesday and it' also 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).

We don't think it will, but we can't wait to see the weekend numbers and see if it beats out The Dark Night.

Again, we don't think it will.

Have U seen the flick? Is it worth the hype?

    1. 1

      i hate shia.



    2. 2

      First!!Ya!!



    3. 3

      I liked it alot!!! (not my usual genre of movie either.



    4. 4

      Half the people I know said "Dude this movie was so epicccc!!!" and then people I trust said it sucked a big one.



    5. 5

      Saw it last nite with my boyfriend, his idea. He loved it.



    6. 6

      saw one of the midnight showings. it was good. first one is still better. but this one is funny.



    7. 7

      i'm seeing it in imax next week
      i'm so excited



    8. 8

      It is exactly what you expect, action, great special effects, and a robot war…I liked it because it was fast paced and it allows you to escape reality for a short while…and with all the crap going on around the world who couldn't use a brief escape???!!!



    9. 9

      Great movie but nothing is ever beat the first one



    10. 10

      I've seen it, it was good, but I don't think it will outdo the dark knight.



    11. 11

      OMG!



    12. 12

      I'm going to see it tomorrow, hopefully it will be as good as the first one!



    13. 13

      It was a good summer movie. Popcorn movie, if you will.

      Had funny parts and a lot of shiz blowing up. having the hottest woman on the planet helps too.



    14. 14

      I saw it and it was absolute shit. My friend and me were trying not to laugh at the "tense" moments and afterwards i decided to put it on my list of "Top Three Shitty Films". It was three hours of my life i will never get back and i wish i had gone to see The Hangover instead!

      Sophie x x x



    15. 15

      Great movie…My husband and I both enjoyed it!



    16. 16

      I think it's not worth that hype!!
      It's just ok, nothing special and never ever a competition to for example Dark Knight!!



    17. 17

      yes it is worth it!! the movie was AMAZING!



    18. 18

      Ladouche? Come on Perez…did you see him on the Today show? He was so sweet to this girl who was clearly obsessed with him…He was very kind and not Douchey at all..not like his co-star in Transformers!!!



    19. 19

      I was in this movie, and I even will admit it was terrible… Bay ruined it, big time… the whole movie was just CGI explosions, and unless you grew up knowing all about transformers, it wasn't the easiest storyline to follow… too long, too many explosions, not enough real-people time on screen…just my opinion.. and i LOVED the first one



    20. 20

      So not worth the hype… It's got great visual effects, of course, and the plot isn't as nonexistent as some people say.

      Dear god, those stupid robots. As Roger Ebert said, have we not learned from Jar Jar Binks? Giving aliens and/or robots wacky, quirky, or otherwise stereotypical personalities in an attempt to connect to the younger, hipper crowd almost always becomes an utter failure. I really don't need sassy robots saying things like "pop a cap in yo ass."

      If you really want to see it, wait for the DVD release.



    21. 21

      Re: x-Twilight-Addict-x – The 'tense' parts were laughable to me because Megan Fox NEVER looked really worried, sad, or concerned…like she was suppose to..She just pouted her full lips and stared into space…it was as if she was trying to cry but she didn't know how to really act that part out!!



    22. 22

      WOW TV Land…you are really bringing in the sweet ad spots.

      23

      The movie was great! I went to the Midnight show on a whim and the theater was packed!



    24. 24

      i thought it was a pretty badass movie.

    25. ELIZ says – reply to this


      25

      Oh the movie was great, really funny!



    26. 26

      imax this weekend, can NOT wait, it's one of my favorite films.
      megan fox is sexxxy.



    27. 27

      .
      .
      This just proves that there are a TON of stupid people in the US.
      .
      .



    28. 28

      No real story but if you like things blown up and loud noises…go for it. Michael Bay is done I'm sure making these types of movies, he's not good, he should get involved with weapon making.



    29. 29

      ahhh it was AMAZING!!! so intense



    30. 30

      Awesome movie! non stop action better than the first one!



    31. 31

      really cool movie! awesome non stop action!



    32. 32

      I saw it an IMAX yesterday.. it was AMAZING. It lives up to all the hype. Shia is gorgeous.



    33. 33

      kids are not in school so i think that helped a bit



    34. 34

      This is a great movie, regardless of what the critics say. It's a movie about robots fighting the crap out of each other - that's it. People who are rating this movie should realize that and not put too much into else into it. No one cares about the love story of Megan Fox and Shia Lebouf. It's called "Transformers" and the movie definitely delivers. I went to the midnight show and it was packed with true fans who loved it. Those are the people who's opinions matter - not the critics….



    35. 35

      And I'm going to see it several more times too!!



    36. 36

      It was a great movie! I went to the midnight showing at Universal. I wanna see it again!



    37. 37

      Terrible. Astonishingly terrible. I should have listened to the terrible reviews it got, but no I went and saw it, and holy fuck was it just TERRIBLE. Too long, acting is busted, and the "storyline" is all over the place. If it weren't for the over use of all the special effects and what not, it'd be a dud (and I'm sure fox had a lot to do with why people went, just saying).



    38. 38

      Aghhh i hate wen u call him ladouche ! Lol ummm YES ! The movie was amazing despite the reviews .

      Either way shia looked SEXY !



    39. 39

      This movie is BADASS!



    40. 40

      it was good. critics hate it because they are critics. their brains are technically fucked. remember how they all hated independence day, but fans LOVED it?



    41. 41

      i saw it at midnight, it was very long but great!



    42. 42

      I LOVED IT!!! :) thought it was ohso GOOD!!
      Megan Fox is HOTT-but the TOE THUMB..EEWWWW



    43. 43

      looooooved it!



    44. 44

      It was a great movie, but it definitely had a bunch of content & language that wasn't for little kids.



    45. 45

      ok, the people who are leaving negative comments about this movie need to shut the FUCK up. Do you possibly think you could have created a better movie? The people who are saying it had no plot, what more could they have added? The movie was 2 hours and 20 minutes long and packed with plot twists. How are any of you ever going to like any new movies if you are so damn critical and nit-picky. And if you don't like action or tons of robot fights then why the hell would you even go see a Transformers movie when that is the whole fucking point?



    46. 46

      u pppl are crazy is does beat the first one!! by far !! it was awesome!!

    47. joni says – reply to this


      47

      yes and yes



    48. 48

      I'm going to go watch it tomorrow. I liked the first one, so I'll give this one a whirl.

      hmm..
      coming from a twilight addict..
      hmm..



    50. 50

      do they ever take into account that ticket prices have gone up over the years so of course it could make more money?

      Fake example- Harry Potter sells 5 tickets at $6= $30
      Transformers sells 5 tickets at $7= $35
      hmmmmmm…i'm just curious



    51. 51

      Fashionistas! check out JIMASTYLE.COM for trendy and affordable apparel. ;)



    52. 52

      The movie was amazing! My husband, myself and a friend went last night to watch Transformers and it was extrodanary! Michael Bay nailed this one out of the park. It had all the elements a movie needs to be great. i loved all the new characters, especailly the "TWINS". They are so funny! Great movie, Perez you have to go and see it, it is worth every penny! I grew up watching Transformers, so I was excited to see the use of the Constructabots! As a matter of fact every showtime was SOLD OUT last night! Luckily we had our tickets two days in advance!!! GREAT ENTERTAINMENT for EVERYONE!!
      Sincerely an excited fan,
      Amanda



    53. 53

      I fell asleep 30 minutes into the movie…. Boring….. 2 1/2 hours of my life I will never get back… zzzzzzzzzzzzzz



    54. 54

      It probably helps that it's summer, all the kiddies are home, and it's raining out. Nothing else to do! Should I build an arc?



    55. 55

      Spoiler Alert **** Did we mention Megan Fox gets her leg humped by a Decepticon? This movie is amazing and hilarious!!



    56. 56

      I have seen it and i dont think it is worth the hype…www.missperfectblonde.com



    57. 57

      Why don't you watch it and give your opinion?



    58. 58

      It was OK…not great, but OK. We went to the midnight viewing. I couldn't stand those stupid twin bots thu, they were just stupid. And the morphing girl bot, with the tongue thing….where did she come from? I dont remember reading about her in the comic books or in the cartoon series! But in all it was OK, the first was way better. Shia was looking good (of course!) and M Fox…idk, she's pretty and all but just so plastic looking…idk what i would call her.



    59. 59

      Seen it last night. It was awesome! It was a very busy movie…lots going on!



    60. 60

      get it Shia!
      He was so hot in the movie, imma see it again later this week!



    61. 61

      The movie was awesome totally worth it! In IMAX it is so good!



    62. 62

      Went with husband and the kids the loved it. It was funny, action packed and we all thought it was great and worth the hour and a half in line to see.



    63. 63

      amazing movie!



    64. 64

      This was fucking retarded. a big sloppy incoherent mess that is the equivelent of a cinematic abortion. Anyone that likes this movie and calls it great or jilarious should immediatly head to the emergency room for a brain scan to check for brain damage. This film will haver a HUGE dropoff come this weekend due to the astronomically shitty word of mouth it's been garnering.



    65. 65

      I'm taking my son and my boyfriend to it this weekend .. I liked the first one, even saw it a couple times , so we'll see about this one. My son is 9 and is excited to see it LOL



    66. 66

      Re: AmandaLiv – umm something tells me you thought glitter was a great film too! DOn't listen to this chick anyone with a decent eighth grade education knew that it blew spark plugs!!!



    67. 67

      I don't know what the people on here are saying it's a great movie. BECAUSE SOME OF THESE NO THINKING CROWD FOLLOWING FOOLS DON'T HAVE A CREATIVE THOUGHT OF INDEPENDENT THINKING PATTERN BUT IT SUCKED! NO STRONG PLOT, STUPID CHARACTERS, RACIST ROBOTS, MEGAN FOX STILL DIDN'T ACT SHE WAS HERSELF, MICHAEL BAY I BET DIDN'T EVEN WATCH ONE TRANSFORMERS EPISODE , WHERE THE FUCK IS SOUND WAVE? PLUS, I HAD TO GET HIGH BEFORE AND IT STILL SUCKED AND I WAS REALLY HIGH I SMOKED LIKE TWO BLUNTS.



    68. 68

      I thought it was AWESOME!



    69. 69

      It's totally worth the hype! I think I like it better than the first. Made me laugh, made me cry, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and was blown away by the action.



    70. 70

      Re: paulawalla – DID U EVEN WATCH TRANSFORMERS AS A KID ? AND I'M A TRUE FAN , THIS WAS A EPIC PARIS HILTON ABORTION!!! YOU SMOKE CRACK ROCKS!



    71. 71

      this movie was so freaking good!!!!
      it took forever to see it though everything was freaking sold out
      but it was totally worth the wait!!!!!



    72. 72

      i really enjoyed this movie, going to see it again in imax hopefully :)



    73. 73

      Re: @lici@ – HEY BITCH SOME OF THE PEOPLE ON HERE WORK IN THE ENTRAINMENT BUSINESS AND GO TO SCHOOL FOR THIS! APPARENTLY YOU COULDN'T EVEN YOU STUPID AS FOOL! YOU'RE A FUCKING TWAT. SOME OF US ON HERE , BEFORE YOU WERE BORN, WERE PLAYING WITH TRANSFORMERS AND WATCHING THE SHOW RELIGIOUSLY! SO MIND UR MANNERS BITCH! ONCE AGAIN NOT ONE TRUE TRANSFORMERS FAN I'M TIRED OF THESE STUPID FUCKING KIDS ON HERE !



    74. 74

      When I was watching it I was thinking "WOW ! This movie is AWESOME! It's really really really good, full of action and humor." But then, when you get out of the theater and think about it, it has a very common story line. All in all though, it is a good movie. I think it might even be better than the first one.



    75. 75

      Go Shia



    76. 76

      Loved this movie! The air conditioner was broke at the theater and it was so hot but nobody left… it was worth it



    77. 77

      Saw it last night. Every showing was sold out and for today, too! It was worth every penny. LOVED it!!



    78. 78

      this movie was the best movie on the face of the planet.



    79. 79

      perez.. maybe you should start talking more shit about shia. i'm sure he'd love to kick your ass too, you pakuni looking fucktard.



    80. 80

      && WTF..did anyone else see how some critic are calling the TWINS-racist..LMAO..sooo stupid & funny at the same time. How can you put a COLOR on ROBOTS..H-E-L-L-O..you are the racist one(whoever pointed that shit out first) to even say that. YOU put color into it! The voices for Mudflap & Skids..one dude is black..the other WHITE. so SHUT THE F* UP ALREADY! gesh! I thought they were funny as hell!

      Re: pinkhotluv – And you expect people to take the opinion of a drug addict seriously? Get lost.

      It was an awesome movie. I hope it beats dark night cuz honestly…it was more entertaining.



    82. 82

      Perz! Suck up your hatred for Megan Fox and just go watch the damn movie.
      It was absolutely amazing!



    83. 83

      I seen it last night, and I loved it. It was way more action packed than the first one. Bigger and better.



    84. 84

      this movie sucks… seriously.



    85. 85

      Ew no thanks. Every review I have read said it was utter shit and everyone who is raving about it seems to be your typical American mouth breather or a 14 year old boy. I can think of so many better things I can do with 10 dollars than go watch megan fox run in slow mo while michael bay blows shit up and dogs hump things for comic relief. way to go everyone that loved this movie… you are the reason why we have shitty ass hollywood remakes and sequels, reality tv, and auto-tuner… fucking ignorant people with no class or artistic appreciation. go ahead just eat that corporate processed bullshit up guys!



    86. 86

      It was visually amazing, but tyrese's lines were god awful as well as the racist robot twins mudflap and something. Plus it was suuuuper long but I love transformers having grown up in the 80s so its worth it just to see robots fight!



    87. 87

      im a girl who likes romances, comedies and im not a fan of action. but when it comes to transformers… im a guy. im insane over these flicks. and the second was way better than the 1st. best movie of the year, so far. still waiting for new moon :P



    88. 88

      trust me its worth it
      like it was soo good
      funny action and i mean the whole cast is really hott
      not bad having eye candy in movies
      i watched it yesterday at a random time and it was packed
      transformers



    89. 89

      Re: babet – as for it beating dark night it wont win an oscar, and I'm thinking your mom probably had sex with a donkey , because anyone who is much of an ASS as you are has to be half farm animal. YOU stupid ponce. THIS MOViE SUCKED HARD CORE! IF YOU THINK FOR YOUR SELF , DO YOU A FAVOR AND DON'T WASTE YOUR UR MONEY BY GIVING IT TO MICHEAL BAY ! I HAD TO SEE IT FOR WORK, I SHOULD HAVE CALLED IN SICK!



    90. 90

      Re: i[[heart]]britney – because their stereotypes wow we know that you didn't go to an ivy league college! doesn't matter if the voice actor are of different colors. umm they still had black actors doing blackface makeup in the 20's and 30's so don't say it's not racist cuz it was. but then again something tells me ur white and u wouldn't even think twice of someone getting offended because its entrainment for you.



    91. 91

      yes i seen it and it definitely worth the hype..the shit was good i think it would bring in more den The Dark Knight. Optimus Prime is a beast!!



    92. 92

      it was AMAZING. everything from the storyline to the visuals were just above and beyond. they even gave shia a reason to have a wrap on his hand haha. all in all, i would see it at least 2 more time, it was that good.



    93. 93

      yes! its worth the hype, and Shia looks better than ever in this film



    94. 94

      the movie actually is reallly good!
      i thought it would suck.
      im gonna go see it again tonight.



    95. 95

      I saw it and thought it was really great!!!



    96. 96

      Re: pinkhotluv – I just have to say ONE thing to you..You are critical of others assuming they lack education but can you guess who really sounds uneducated? Oh and let me save you from guessing. I worked as an attorney for Florin,Roebig, and Walker in Florida for five years and then, when I was tired of dealing with people quite like you, I started working for a publishing company and now I edit books for a living. However, it doesn't take an educated person to see your stupidity. It doesn't take an education to do much of anything as long as you set your mind to it. Oh and my brother and I played with Transformers when we were young…Now that I have some what debated your harsh arguements, I am certain you will find many reasons to insult me as your kind usually do. :)



    97. 97

      it was just long, very long.
      and boring in some parts.
      but also some funny parts. but deff not as good as the dark knight which i went out of my way for to watch at midnight, transformers i just went yestrday.



    98. 98

      I said it before and I'll say it again. This movie sucked so bad I wanted to cry. I was so let down because I loved the first one. If crude humor and stupid jokes and a retarded plot make you giddy, go see it. The ONLY parts I enjoyed were the "good" robot scenes…you know the ones that don't make lame jokes, hump Megan Fox's leg, and generally just kick ass.



    99. 99

      Re: x-Twilight-Addict-x
      Haha in a review I read, someone said that the serious parts are actually funny. I'm still going to see it, but I'll probably feel the same way.



    100. 100

      uhhh not really, it was kinda corny and fake.
