Despite the many trials and tribulations leading up to the release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen--from star Shia LaBeouf's life-threatening injuries on and off the set during production, to leaked emails from director Michael Bay to studio execs attacking their lack of marketing-- the sequel to 2007's Transformers grossed an estimated $201 million in its first five days at the box office, the second best five-day opener after The Dark Knight. During the 3-day weekend, the film grossed an estimated $112 million.

According to Box Office Mojo, those numbers make Transformers: ROTF the film with the largest June opening and the highest-grossing non-holiday, non-Friday opening film. By comparison, the first Transformers film grossed $70.5 million in its 3-day opener and it took 12 days to reach the $200 million mark.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was also the highest grossing IMAX film ever, opening to the tune of $11.7 million over the 3-day and $14.4 million over the 5-day, eclipsing the IMAX opening of Star Trek.

Raiden
Raiden - 6/29/2009, 9:52 AM

NataliaRomanov
NataliaRomanov - 6/29/2009, 9:55 AM

Bijous
Bijous - 6/29/2009, 9:56 AM
@LEEE777: Dude, your article was, like, missing somewhere between ginormous pics. This was much easier to read. Sorry.
superdog
superdog - 6/29/2009, 9:56 AM
teabag i beat you to the bald joke......although maybe you were making a bold joke since thats what you wrote. put a gold tooth on that guy and youve got skids....or is it mudflap. i cant tell them apart. they are twins you know
Raiden
Raiden - 6/29/2009, 10:08 AM
Pervs???? What do you expect when you are on a site with a bunch of men that love women and are comic book geeks
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 6/29/2009, 10:13 AM
Your only figuring that out now NataliaRomanov! Its lucky you missed some of the other articles! A true bunch of ravenous dogs these boys!;)

Yeah, i think anyone who thought this movie wouldn't bust blocks was nuts!
Raiden
Raiden - 6/29/2009, 10:19 AM
bag-you really think Scarlet is ugly??? Man my girl made me watch that Hes Just Not That Into You movie and Scarlet is in it. Shows her in her underwear wit bra and let me tell you i didnt know she was that stacked....very nice
superdog
superdog - 6/29/2009, 10:25 AM
you didnt know scarlett johansen was stacked? those are her biggest attributes. i thought everyone knew that.
Drew718
Drew718 - 6/29/2009, 10:28 AM
scarlett johanson is slamminnnnnn! i'd take her over megan fox any day. shes "all natural" and doesnt look as much of a snob as megan does.
Raiden
Raiden - 6/29/2009, 10:31 AM
Superdog-i honestly didnt i have seen her in plenty of other flicks too. The Spirit included and i knew she had a bangin body but when i saw that chick flick it was crazy
superdog
superdog - 6/29/2009, 10:35 AM
it is crazy. welcome to the world of knowing scarlett johansen has big breast. its a great world my friend. and i dont think shes as ugly as teabag says she is. hes just wierd about that kind of stuff.
Raiden
Raiden - 6/29/2009, 10:36 AM
Yea i dont think she is ugly at all. I actually just moved her up in my hot chick list
vonstallin
vonstallin - 6/29/2009, 10:40 AM
Am I seeing things?
I saw a thread on the main page that said "Want to know what Michael think of BatMan3?"

click it and it was gone...
Anyway...

The more money these movies make the better they get...
TF 1 did good so they up his budget to get more robots in it...

TF 2 did better so they will up his budget to get what we want...

Unicron/Cybertron and more...

This is a good thing..

Even no TF movie producers will give it a chance.

I have to say when I first heard about MB and SS doing a live action TF movie, I laughed and figured it would be a sack of shit.

Fooled me...
Raiden
Raiden - 6/29/2009, 10:42 AM
I liked TF it was a fun movie to watch. I dont think TF2 is as good as TF though or as entertaining but when i watch these movies i go in with the mentality to not expect anything other than explosions and good action and that is what these movies produce
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 6/29/2009, 10:51 AM
Thanx Natalie lol! ; D

Lmao, yeah we know where she'll be bald @ teabag/Superdog lol!

@teabag: I don't think SJ is ugly, but she is not who I would have picked for the Black Widow. Back in the day, that would have been Famke Jansen. Today...I don't know. She needs to be badazz!
NataliaRomanov
NataliaRomanov - 6/29/2009, 12:10 PM
@Rorschach: Funny, but where were the explosions?
