I'm a proud Geek, Nerd, Dork, whatever you want to call it! I love everything from StarTrek to StarWars to Role Playing Games to just plain outright nerdyness! I love Nerdy Chicks too!

Quit complaining, everyone has the right not to go see it or see it. If you don't like, then don't watch it, what more can you do than that when it opens in July.

Bombing doesn't always mean ticket sales. Godzilla '98 bombed because no one liked it and it ruined the careers of the creators who made it. This movie will fail in the second week, though, because 80's Transformers fans will go to see their childhood on the big screen, be disapointed, and spread a bad word of mouth about it. It can't get any more simple than that.
Don't worry, there will be several millions of non-TFans to make up for it.

But will these non-TFans like stupid jokes like a dog peeing on a robots leg?
Jeez, what am I saying? The cinema where I work just had it's busiest week ever thanks to the schoolkids being on holiday and 'Epic Movie', of all things, being released.

No, Epic Movie is better because it was made to be stupid.
To Milanon: I think "millions" and "making up for it" is an exxageration. The Transformers fanbase is, at the most, half a million people(including people who are not on this board). The kids who dabble in Transformers(around a million) will instantly know the difference, because of the massacred looks and the PG-13 rating. Then there are the millions of adults who liked Transformers as kids, who will say "WTF" at first sight. If you think a million freaks that like this demonic "visualisation" of Transformers will make up for the millions of pissed-off Transformers fans who know their way around the grapevine, then you sure live in a wonderful world.

Why can't anyone add on this site? If the movie were only to make $100 mil in the States (not even counting Worldwide box office) that is $12.5 million tickets at $8 each.
Half a million TF fans, as you put it, only adds up to $4 mil. So guess where the other $96 mil is going to come from?
Never mind, I'll just tell you: the 12 million non-fans.

Milanion, please, use some common sense here. Clearly the Transformers fanbase, about half of which likes what they've seen of the movie, is enough to derail millions of dollars of marketting in less than a week.
Clearly this is only logical.
