BOX OFFICE: TRANSFORMERS: AOE Could Be On Track For A $100M Opening Weekend

I still haven't seen it yet lol

Heard it was shit.

About 20 mins of the 2 hr 45 mins was watchable, fell asleep half way through

I'm watching it in 6 hours!

im a fan of the first 3. but after rewatching the old 90's series, transformers prime and playing war for and fall of cybertron i just cant get excited for this movie cause i know it aint gonna be as good as those. gonna watch it for the soundtrack that sht is always awesome!

AoE Friday midnight showing was 8.7 mil, that's lower than Cap and around the same DOFP. I think this will movie make around 90 to 93 mil. only if it opens to 40 mil on Friday it could reach 100 mil, but based midnight showings and based on how off box office tracking has been this summer I highly doubt it. I could be wrong, but I don't think AoE will break the century mark.

I saw it. It was what I expected. And, what I was expecting was NOT Shakespeare, so I had that going for me:) I, occasionally, need to see shit blown up. It soothes me. My main gripe was that they missed their opportunity to make Mark Wahlberg "feel the vibrations".

This movie is horrible. Horrible!!!

the movie needs a much better story. this one feels like someone just said its time to make number 4 and just came up with anything. just make big explosions, big fights some chase scenes and not much more. oh except for the bad language, it is not for little kids to see. number 1 was great, number 3 was great. number 2 and 4 are just ok but nothing special.

First good second not, third good, fourth not, maybe if we get a fifth it'll be great hmmm

Oh, and also be prepared, The Dino bots don't show up until in the last half hour of the movie.

WAY too long. I would've been happy w/ 2 hour & a half films released 2-3 months apart.

will i go see it?

Just remember, many were also predicting that TASM 2 and DoFP would break the $100 million mark, and they ended up not even getting to $95 million for their opening 3-day weekend (DoFP opened Memorial Day weekend, and if you add Monday to it since it was a 4-day weekend, it had around $120 million. But for just Friday-Sunday, including Thursday night, it only had around $93 million.) So I'm gonna wait till the actual figures come in on Monday before I start talking about it breaking the $100 million mark.

For those of you that think Transformers should have a better story and director and all that, you need to remember something. Transformers are a bunch of TOYS that look like cars or planes or something else, and then change into robots that fight each other. What, you expect them to write the equivalent of Hamlet for them? Do you want female Transformers so that Optimus Prime and Bumblebee can have a love story? They're TOYS! These are movies about TOYS! If you really want a movie about TOYS, expect a movie that has little in the way of plot and has a lot of action and explosions. Considering that they are TOYS, I thought Bay and the writers did a good job coming up with a story for them in the first and third films (the second, ehhhh.....not so much.) Haven't seen AoE, not sure if I will (I didn't see the third until it was on EPIX), but that's mainly because I just don't like Transformers that much. I'm not looking forward to a different director rebooting Transformers. I'm hoping that someday we don't have Transformer movies at all. TOYS, these are movies about TOYS, which is just fundamentally stupid, no matter who makes them.
