Well, the first film made $155 mil in the first week, from Monday to Sunday. And it came out over July 4th. I think this movie will match that or may exceed it by a few million, but probably not 20. As long as it stomps Terminator to shut that asshole McG up.

Agreed. Especially considering that this time around they don't have as strong of a marketing campaign. (but to be honest, I'm kind of glad. It got a bit old seeing Bumble Bee and Prime on everything from my Burger King cup, to tooth paste caps.) But also keep in mind that the movie will be released in IMAX on opening day this time around instead of 3 weeks into the release.
