according to my investors report Hasbro is a keeper.
Unfortunately the stock drop from the Easy Bake Oven fiasco outweighed the returns on the film up until now.

The estimate is that it will break 800 million.

It seems Transformers is still doing alright, and it still has Japan to boost it's takings a little bit.
HP5 had about the same loss rate as Transformers did.

Another $20 Million worldwide and it will surpass Pirates #3.

I really was hoping that the movie would have made $300,000,000 by now. I know that the movie is a success, but with the speed in the first week it slowly fizzled down from there. I know it wasnt going to stay at the top for long but it is already out of the top 5. We did what we could and the rest was up to the non fans. Glad for the success and hope it continues with the sequels.

I say let's all rally and see the movie one more time. I think it can still reach 300 mil in the US before it's over. Half a bill is incredible.

I still hate it. If it weren't for the action scenes, it would have been as disappointing as Simpsons movie. But then, ALL transformers opening eps are horridly boring.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easy_Bake_Oven#Recalls

Recalls

In February 2007, Hasbro and the Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled 985,000 Easy-Bake toy ovens after finding that kids' hands and fingers can get caught in the oven's opening, thereby posing serious risk of burns.[4] Since the February 2007 announcement, an additional 249 reports of children getting their hands or fingers caught in the ovens, including 16 reports of second- and third-degree burns. As a result, Hasbro recalled all front-loading Easy Bake ovens sold since May 2006, even those that were repaired with the free kit distributed after the February 2007 recall. This unfortunate turn of events was the result of Hasbro's apparently ill conceived redesign of the original time tested Easy-Bake Oven. [5]

Some of the EBOs that I saw, were priced between $30-50.00 a piece, so that's a hell of an expensive recall....O_o...

Oh and the movie? All bets are off now. I'll be honest, I didn't think the public would be this receptive...ever. I was expecting a nice modest number around $3-400 million. I was incorrect and it continues to climb.

Wow.

Amazing.

To be honest I too had low expectations for this movie, after seeing how bad the 1980s one did, I expect to just make up its budget and little more, around $350 tops. Never expected it to go this high...

Re: Transformers Box Office Now Over Half a Billion Dollars (256498)
Posted by Burn on July 31st, 2007 @ 9:21pm CDT

I gave it $200 million myself.

But then again, i'm planning to see the movie for the third time this weekend and out of those three times i'll have only paid to see it once. :lol:

Hmm, Movie cost 150 million to make. so that leaves oh about 376 million dollars profit. Nope not a sucess at all. And your opinion about Armageddeon not being good is just that, your opinion. But yeah like you said, not a sucess at all. 8-|

making half a billion?! they HAVE to make a sequel. And you know how money hungry the movie studios are, im pretty sure theyll crank one out by summer 2009. i wouldnt be surprised if they already started writing the script.

I can't believe The Phantom Menace was the highest grossing Star Wars flick. That was the worst of the bunch by an astronomical unit.

And the thing that sucks it that I still haven't seen it. Not that I didn't want to go or anything, It now seems like i'm one of only a few who can't go due to lack of fundage and/or medical problems (ie: a mental disorder that prevents you from going out into crowds alone ie: again - me)

Well the reason is because it was the first new StarWars Movie in 20 years and tickets are more expensive now.

Back on topic, The Movie will continue to earn money for the next few weeks and then just wait and see what happens when the DVD is released...

TF was the highest grossing film ever in Korea or something wasn't it? Hence I reckon they will love it in Japan, I mean giant robots, that's better than sex for them:P

I didn't think they included DVD sales in box office gross...but if they do, you're right; I would be willing to wager we could actually see the movie climb into that coveted number 2 spot. Personally I don't understand how Titanic grossed almost 2 billion; it was a horrible movie.

For all you investors, I'd be buying up Hasbro stock before their 3Q profit reports come out...the stock is going to go up significantly when they announce them. Does anyone know when the third quarter reports are released, perchance?

I'm doing my part in the meantime, having seen the flick 7 times now. I just sit in the theater with a big grin on my face when i watch it, loving every minute and soaking it all in.. :-)

Just a quick note: Disturbia is being advertised on TV for DVD release as "Transformers' Shia LeBeouf stars in..." I speculated that TF was going to be his signature movie, the one he would springboard into A-list Hollywood with. Looks like I was right!

Oh, after careful consideration I have determined that there will be at least one movie that surpasses Transformers at the box office: Transformers 2 :-D

Imagine what THAT will make if you throw in all the build-up hype that is inherent to sequels!

Not really. They'll just continue to combine the two. Which is...creepy.

I wish I had the money and the time to go see it more...I've seen it twice now, but if I could I'd have seen it a third, and a fourth time now...
