Revenge of the Fallen Surpasses the $800M Mark

Postby DevastaTTor » Fri Jul 31, 2009 3:03 am

According to BoxOfficeMojo.com, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen surpassed the 800 million dollar milestone yesterday, Thursday, July 30. Looking at the numbers posted through Wednesday, ROTF had taken in 799,779,845.00 globally and is averaging just over 1 million dollars a day this week domestically. What this means is that TF2 is now number 9 on the all-time (unadjusted) Domestic box office list, surpassing Star Wars III: ROTS. How ROTF performs over the weekend should determine whether it will challenge number 8 on the list, Spiderman, which took in over 403M. On the Domestic, adjusted for inflation chart, TF2 is at number 84, sitting in between Mrs. Doubtfire and Star Wars II: AOTC. And on the Global all-time (unadjusted) list, ROTF moves into the number 20 spot on the list, surpassing Shrek the Third. All in all, these numbers are exceptional for a movie that was universally panned by critics.

This number almost guarantees 2 more movies-Paramount and Hasbro aren't just going to walk away from this kind of potential.

Spiderman III was supposed to be the last of the trilogy but made so much, the studio is making 3 more.

I read that Bay signed on for 5 total.

Imagine the bank it would have made if it had been a GOOD movie, and not just riding the coattails of awesomeness from the first one! Ah well, hopefully without a writer's strike and (please, please) a bigger budget for more robot screen time, the next one will be better.

Nice. I doubt it'll get close to Titanic, but it will probably overtake Spider-Man domestically. And yes, this should be reason enough to boost the budget of TF3 to $250-300m and have some serious robot action from beginning to end.

That is suicide-worthy.

As mush as I enjoyed the movies, his ego is out of control. I have defended the films a number of times. However, that is different than defending the man himself. At ANY point if you make yourself more important than the film you are making, you fail. I think that's what happened to the prequel trilogy for Star Wars. Lucas thought he could do a better job of the screenplay because he's George Lucas. THe dialogue killed those movies. If Bay continues to put himself in front of the movies, he will go the same route. One can hope that he learns from this movie's mistakes...or maybe Spielberg can put him in his place..."Hey Mike, c'mon. I know better than you. See these gold stautes? They're called Oscars. You aren't going to get any unless you control yourself." Not that I think he's going to get any anyways...if he does, I will use cherry bombs on my Predaking. :roll:
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

Do not take so serious a rumor,no one knows anything yet.And if he make were to make it more movies it would depend of the next movie and alot of people.Its do not depend only on him.

Bay signed on to 5? I thought it was just 3. But I did hear of rumors from one of the producers that they are looking at Transformers, with it's vast opportunities, could go the route of the James Bond franchise, in that it's sequels are unlimited.

I also think that producers like Steven Spielberg will rein in Michael Bay for the third one. They'll take out the cons, the overly sexed attitude of the movie, and improve on the pros, the Transformers. So, I'm not worried about whose directing the movie.

I've heard rumors from some friends who were at Comic Com, and they heard something along the lines of Optimus Prime carrying a trailer to please the hard core fans. Don't know how true it is, but if it's something they are trying to do to please the core fans, what else could they have up their sleeve?

I could care less either way. What he lacks in character development, he makes up with his action scenes. I really think very few directors could pull of the fight scene in the forest the way he did. Also, like it or not, if you want to incorporate any realism in these types of movies, you're going to need the military in it someway, somehow, and with his connections, it's one less hurdle the movie has to overcome!

And like I said, I think Steven Spielberg will reel him in for the third one for more character development. We saw some nice character development between Sam and his parents, and the Autobots in the first one. (The little banter between Ironhide and Ratchet after Ratchet walks into the power lines is precious!)and this is due to me thinking Steven Spielberg had more hands on in the first movie and none at all in the second one. He learned his lesson, and will not repeat the mistake of leaving Michael Bay unattended.

Hopefully, they can get better writers too. They made a mess out of the Star Trek plot, but Star Trek was saved by some pretty awesome cast members. Transformers was saved by some pretty awesome action sequences.
