Weapon: Switch Blade Tail

I'm not sure how different the system is in Australia (and it's local areas), but I know for sure, here in the US...six million for a four day weekend is barely alive, at best.

I sure hope we get better figures when it's finally released tonight...

No offense though, Burn. Sorry if my post was deemed as such.

Facotr in the difference in population numbers along with number of cinemas.

"Consider the knowledge dropped."
From ToplessRobot.com:• "Watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is marginally better than sh***ing your pants, but it takes a lot longer." Very well put.

Screw the official numbers Burn, I know when a film is doing gangbusters when the poromtional Cup and Popcorn Bucket are sold out by the 6.30pm session on the Saturday after release.

Still depending on whether they count the first 3 days or the first 7 days as the opening week, Transformers can easily become #3 in the highest earning films of the year, and stroll into the top #10 movies of all time, considering it is already #12.

As long as it beats Wild Hogs, I will be happy...

Awesomesauce; Use it, you know you want to.

Linky

Transformers took in $4,737,304 AUD ($4,061,856.67 USD) for the four day period bringing it's total since release on the 28th June to $16,203,472 AUD ($13,893,172.32 USD) which will also put it into the #6 spot for 2007 releases (when MM updates it's records)

And only $1 million behind Wild Hogs!!!

I think that it is fairly safe to say that by this time next week, Transformers will be the 4th highest grossing movie in 2007, behind Pirates, Shrek and Spidey.

The following week it'll be 5th Harry Potter should only take 2 weeks to surpass it, the same goes for the Simpsons.

At the rate it's going, Transformers will make over $20 million, pushing it into around the top 60 films, in Australia of all time, just short of the $57 million Titanic got.
