Not that anyone should be surprised at this point, but the phenomenon that is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. With each passing day, the film seems more and more poised to cement its place as one of the greatest blockbusters of all time. Here is an excerpt of an article from Variety.com

Paramount's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is on its way to scoring one of the top five-day openings of all time at the worldwide box office.

The film's opening-day bow of $60.6 million from 4,234 runs at the domestic box office was the best ever for a Wednesday release and the second best of all time after that of "The Dark Knight" ($67.2 million).

Early estimates for Thursday show "Transformers 2" grossing another $27 million, bringing the two-day domestic cume to a bfo $87 million.

Overseas, sequel's cume through Wednesday was a whopping $59 million from 11,500 locations in 58 territories Wednesday, putting the worldwide tally at a hefty $146.6 million.

Foreign total includes early grosses from the U.K. and Japan, where the film opened over the weekend. "Revenge of the Fallen" opened day and date virtually everywhere else on Wednesday. Pic hasn't opened in India or Italy.

"This is the best opening number I can ever remember. It shows there is a huge fanbase for the movie. The audience loves the movie," Paramount prexy of international distribution Andrew Cripps said.

Directed by Michael Bay, the "Transformers" sequel has drawn poor reviews in the U.S., but that doesn't seem to be slowing down theater traffic, with out-of-school kids primed for an action tentpole.

It made more than Wolverine did in its first weekend!

Today I was actually wondering if it opened in Italy. Seriously.

I just saw the ROTF and it was AWESOME!
The dissapointing fact about it is that it scored mainly negative reviews from critics.
But they were wrong! Optimus Prime was battling it out against THREE Decepticons and the whole thing was just action-packed. If this movie scores bad reviews, it's because the critics who don't like this movie are dickheads. This film will be better than the first (until it becomes really old like the Star Wars or Indiana Jones film series).

Let's face it - critics aren't generally fans of sci-fi action adventure based on a toy-line movies any way. I think it's extremely rare that critics give any sci-fi or action movies an actual good review.
