According to BoxOfficeMojo.com, Transformers has broken the magic $700 million mark ($700,124,675 to be exact)! This comes just a few days before the release of the DVD which is sure to be a hit as well. Now let's speculate on what TF2 will do (or we can guess if Transformers will get an Oscar, most likely special effects)!

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!

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?

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.
