The Transformers Movie Breaks $700 Million at the Box Office!

I'll pretend to understand....

so this is worldwide, right? not just the US?

So a lazy $100 million after quadrupling their budget...

Definately the special effects will get the oscar. not the acting.

See Hasbro, Transformers is popular in the UK. Now do something about it.

Yeah I really could see Transformers getting an oscar for special effects. Unlike the ungoldy expensive and extremely dissapointing spiderman 3.

TF cost a 100 million, and they made 600 million profit. Not bad. Can't wait for the sequel!

suck it harry potter!

Looks like a three way race at this point. As much as I liked TF, "300" was the better movie...at the very least, can we try to beat out Harry Plopper and the Something of Somewhere?

hahaha... It was our money that made it possible for them. So I expect to be PLEASED with the next movie!

$48 of my money, went to see this possible... (3 $11 showings and a $15 IMAX showing) TF2 better be awesome!

We should all pat each other's back for this one!

WELL DONE FANDOM! WELL DONE INDEED!

2 Oscars. Special effects and Best Picture!!!

well honestly, i'm pretty sure 90% of the money raked in came from non-fans and/or regular moviegoers...but i think that makes it even more impressive so yay..lol

No seriously.




Special Effects, yeah. Best Picture, no. Not a chance in the lowest depths of Hell.

$700+ eh? That was seriously unexpected. With DVD sales, I can expect to see it go well beyond a billion.

I saw it 7 times....

6 times in regular cinema, and once at IMAX

Which means,... I added more money that you! Ha.

I paid for it once, then discovered magical pirate DVD's. But I can't talk about it.

I don't know the exact percentage (Just cuz I'm too lazy to calculate) but $74 of that is mine! (6 times in the theather and once on Imax)

Oh yes. This is wicked awesome news. I was there for the 8:00PM showing July 3rd.

I saw this six times in the Century 20 (premier) theatre, once in the Century 12 (cheap), and once in the IMAX up in Phoenix. BUT, I went with my sister on all eight trips, and my dad came along for the trip to IMAX.

So $12 per each of the first six visits is $72, plus two convenience charges for purchasing online tickets for the first three trips brings it to $78. The cheap theatre was $6.50 for two tickets, and IMAX was about $43 for three tickets.

My grand total contribution to Transformers comes to: $127.50

And it was worth every penny, every time.

Don't forget the money doesn't stop there, guys. They never really post a great deal on the DVD sales. If you incorporate that into the earnings you're looking at MASSIVE numbers. All you see are box office totals. Wait til you see how much Paramount/Dreamworks makes of the DVD movie release.

This is what got Austin Powers 2 made. It suffered dismal sales at the box office, but because of the amazing DVD sales it sparked interest to make part 2, so I really would like to see how many units this film sells this week.
