‘Transformers’ Climbs To $97.5M, Aims For Records

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The latest “Transformers” sequel might set some revenue records over Fourth of July weekend.

“Transformers: Dark of the Moon” has $97.5 million in the bank at the domestic box office since opening Tuesday night. Distributor Paramount estimated Saturday that the movie could top the holiday weekend records held by “Spider-Man 283; and “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.”

“Spider-Man 283; holds the three-day record for the Fourth of July with $88.2 million from Friday to Sunday. Paramount says “Dark of the Moon” should come in about $10 million above that.

The studio also says “Dark of the Moon” could finish slightly ahead of the five-day record $157.6 million that “Eclipse” took in from Wednesday to Sunday over the holiday weekend last summer.

But today’s admission prices are much higher than they were for 200482;s “Spider-Man 2,” while 60 percent of business for “Dark of the Moon” came from 3-D tickets, which cost a few dollars more than regular 2-D screenings.

Neither “Spider-Man 283; nor “Eclipse” had that 3-D price advantage, meaning both movies likely sold more tickets over opening weekend than “Dark of the Moon” will.

Still, the sequel has joined the previous two “Transformers” movies as global blockbusters. Paramount estimates that “Dark of the Moon” will have taken in $200 million overseas in 111 countries through Sunday.

The studio says that by the end of the holiday weekend Monday, combined domestic and international grosses for “Dark of the Moon” will be about $400 million.

The new movie still trails the domestic haul of the last “Transformers,” though. “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” pulled in $127.9 million in its first three days, Wednesday to Friday, in 2009. That’s about $30 million more than “Dark of the Moon.”

This movie in 3D is quite impressive.

I went to see what Spielberg had to say about news media blackouts of moon missions.

While entertaining for adults, I don't recommend it for kids.

It opens with the camera up the crotch of a woman walking up stairs. There is one scene of a blow job in a public restroom. The language is vulgar. This is the first Transformer movie I've seen where the bad guy transformers actually kill human beings (blows head off human, vaporizes humans, very violent).

NOT FOR KIDS UNDER 10 definitely!

A Jew blowing a Jap.

I don't want to give any of the story away. Very entertaining. I wouldn't take my grandkids to it or let them watch it at my house though.

PG-13

I can't stand the thought of giving ten cents to Hollywood and those that control it.

===========================================

Yes, Schpeelbirgh wanted to include the fags.

Your view of Hollywood is the same as mine, BTW. Please forgive me for going to see it ..

I saw the first movie and thought it was lousy. How does it compare to the second and 3rd installment?

===============================================

No comparison. My 5-year old grandson is a Transformer addict. He won't watch this until he's 13.

IMO, it should have been rated R.

See it in 3D, if for no other reason to witness what the next wave of brainwashing will be like.

I saw avatar in 3D and thought the 3D effect enhanced the movie. But I also saw Clash of the Titans in 3D and thought it was a detraction. I think 3D should be saved for quality scenery.

=========================================

Dark Side of The Moon 3D is mind blowing. The 3D effect of the transitions of the xformers and fight scenes are true 3D. Many would be just plain corny (falling through buildings) if the 3D effect weren't there. It's definitely the future.
