The way I figured out that it's going to be lower is because people missed Megan Fox.

THIS x2. The acting in this movie was way better than the first 2. You see what happens when you exterminate the one blight? Everything becomes better.

Rosie is hotter than Megan.
I can easily imagine this movie will make more money than RotF. Hell, I've seen it two times allready (one more than RotF), and I don't really like Bayformers.

People at school said "did you know Megan Fox is out, I'm not watching DOTM because of that crap". PPFFT. People at school even said, "the old transformers is gay, new one is better 'cause of it's live-action". BULLCRAP! I can't force them change their minds, but hey, it's personal preference.

I always wondered why choking Transformers would make a difference. They don't breathe...

Box Office Mojo is reporting that Transformers Dark of the Moon has earned an estimated $97.5 million over the Independence Day weekend, which easily edges out Spider-Man 2's previous record for the holiday weekend of $88.2 million. It also surpassed Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides for the top-grossing weekend earner of 2011 to date. Since the early preview screenings opened in theaters last Tuesday evening the film has earned an estimated $181.1 million, which ranks as the ninth highest-grossing six-day launch ever.
Transformers Darkside Moon is also doing quite well in Hong Kong according to The Hollywood Reporter:
Transformers Darkside Moon is also doing quite well in Hong Kong according to The Hollywood Reporter:
The third Transformers opened last Wednesday and took in HK$6 million ($771,042), making it the film with biggest non-holiday opening in the territory. But the actioner gained momentum on Friday,, a public holiday to commemorate the 1997 Hong Kong handover from the U.K. to China, and raked in over HK$10 million in more than 800 showings, to become the biggest single day grossing film of all time. The film then went on to gross more than HK$40 million over its first five-day weekend to set the biggest opening weekend record. The last Transformers installment grossed HK$22 million over its first five days in 2009.

If they did a 100% CG Transformers film, and had the G1 looks, with the same plot and story as '86's, WE MUST BEAT ONE OF THE TOP 5 $#!%'n RANKERS! ooh... got a little carried away there... 
BTW, we need Unicron, Galvatron, Hot Rod (and his alter-ego), Kup--- wait, the Bay crew is coming,

I really liked DOTM! You have to give it to Michael Bay - he sure knows his way around an good action movie. To me it ticked every box - just about a perfect movie I hope it continues to dominate the box office.
I hope we don't have to wait too long for a 4th movie. I like the idea of Unicron resurecting Megs and Starcream etc. Could move towards 'master' tech too. I didn't like how Ironhide got the rough end of the pineapple, took me back to 86 and crying in the cinema is sooo less acceptable when you are a grown man!

With those types of numbers it would be hard to image that Paramount and Hasbro arent already looking for a writer and director to reboot the series.

Saw it twice through my online sources. Great film. I will for sure be buying the original DVD to add to my collection when it comes out. But ROTF was just better because there was more robot characters with more screentime. Yeah they cut out the dry humor from ROTF (which Im glad) but they still had many pointless human scenes which would have made no difference to the story if they had been deleted.
A few unecessary scenes and concepts were:
1. Sam's Job interviews
2. The break up scene between Sam and Carly where she jumps in the Benz and hands Sam a wet towel. (or some unknown object)
3. The Russian underground mafia gun scene and conspiricy involving Sputnik photos before the crash.
4. Having Simmons in a wheelchair for the last 30 minutes of the film. I may have missed something, but exactly how and when did he get injured ???
5. When Laserbeak threw the chinese guy out the building. Who was he anyway ??? Was he connected to Carly's boss ???
6. The Bill O'Riley show. I personally hate the guy. Keep politics out of the movie.
7. And does anybody have any clue how Simmons got rich in the first place ??? Did he write a book or become a star after helping save the world in ROTF ???
