I predict around 120 million for the opening, followed by 30/40 million the next weekend (if that). And then a quick death.

Aside from Transfans, this film really isn't high on anyone's list. People will go see it- but expect parents to spend their cash on Ratatiulle which opens right before (June 29th). The ever needed child monies will go to the talking rat film- which looks like a lot more fun (and more engaging). Don't forget Die Hard 4 opens that day as well. So between Pixar and Bruce- people will have spent their cash. That combined with the three day slot they've opened before the weekend actually hits will allow critics to circle like carrion birds.
Then it's fast followed by Harry Potter 5. No one's going to see TINO that weekend.

WHAAA.... You're not serious, are you? Won best movie you haven't seen at the MTV Movie awards, Always in the top 10 most searched movies on yahoo, hell random non TF/video game/comic sites(like car sites) getting on the bandwagon. How can this not be high on people's lists of must see movies? Hype alone is gonna guaranty at least one sequel.
And to be honest with you, I haven't heard anything near the hype about Ratatullie and Die hard 4 as I've heard for TF, so I gotta disagree with you that those movies don't even come close to being any real competition for TFs. The only movie you mentioned being any real competition is Harry Potter 5, and that has no where near the media attention TFs is getting. Turn on your TV, and you see TFs left and right, and not really much else.
As far as Cullen, not suprised. It makes sense to lock in as much as the original cast for the sequel as possible.
