It’s been a while since I asked any questions so here it goes again: were the Transformers Live Action Movies (07, 09, 11) more popular in Japan or Asia in general than they were here in the US or Canada? I remember watching a couple of videos of the 07’ movie premier when it first started playing in Japan, it was this big thing. How does the transformer culture diffirentiates in Japan vs. the US/Canada?

If you look at the movie forum,you will find two more topics about this and neither had an anwser.We really need someone of frequent Japanese forums!
