BOX OFFICE: Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Earns $13.5 Million From Midnight Showings!

this might be Micheal Bays last transformers film but it ain't the last transformers film. Its a serious money maker and paramount are not going to let it go.

yeah Ima go see this Friday morning

This was filmed in 3d so it will make a billion world wide , you listening Marvel and DC . Because it is not being filmed in 3d I don't think the Avengers will do a billion but it could have . That is the difference between the real blockbusters like Avatar , Pirates and Transformers and everything else .

I personally think the Transformers soundtrack is what got people pumped the beat used for the trailor was awesome. I'm hoping the Avengers works on that as well.

@ teabag

how much does it cost to see a film in 3D ? a normal ticket cost me £8.20.

Yeah, it's a safe bet that TF3 will have made more by Sunday than Green Lantern will make in its entire domestic run. The Hollywood Reporter put GL at #6 of their list of the Top 10 Flops of 2011 (so far), so it reputation is looking fairly set in Tinseltown.

Well, TF2 made $16m on Tuesday Night/Wednesday Morning midnight shows, where as this one only did $8m combined with $5.5m from earlier Tuesday evening showings. So it's definitely behind the pace of the last one.

I think word of mouth will help it even if it is lighter than ROTF. Also, ROTF opened more than a week prior to July 4th so since this Monday will be part of an extended box office weekend I think it'll have a huge number. It still probably won't hit $400 mil like ROTF did.

ima buy tickets to this then sneak in to see captain America lml

Ample doses of "Depakote" required. If you've ever wondered what having a seizure is like, "Transformers: DOTM," is your ticket to ride.

"DOTM" is a non-stop orgy of pointless, mind-numbing robot destruction and violence highlighted by an endless parade of mechanical innards whizzing across the screen at 200 MPH.

As for the rest of the movie, the plot is a convoluted mess and the human characters are a joke. Not only is their acting bad but the dialogue appears to have been scripted by a 9 year-old. Also, over the course of 2 hours horn-dog Michael Bay reduces women to nothing more than mindless, annoying hump magnets. Look no further than the frequent up close ass and crotch shots of pneumatic Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and the "Vivid" contract girl lookalikes in the background.

Sadly, even the Transformers are lame. Unlike the cartoon and comic books of the 80's, none of the key Transformers are developed enough in the story to the point where you care what's happening to them.

In summary, Michael Bay and the overrated Steven Spielberg succeed magnificently in further destroying a cool sci-fi premise that always had the potential to be awesome in the hands of a more competent, visionary director and producer.
