I gave it $200 million myself.

But then again, i'm planning to see the movie for the third time this weekend and out of those three times i'll have only paid to see it once.

Hmm, Movie cost 150 million to make. so that leaves oh about 376 million dollars profit. Nope not a sucess at all. And your opinion about Armageddeon not being good is just that, your opinion. But yeah like you said, not a sucess at all.

making half a billion?! they HAVE to make a sequel. And you know how money hungry the movie studios are, im pretty sure theyll crank one out by summer 2009. i wouldnt be surprised if they already started writing the script.

I can't believe The Phantom Menace was the highest grossing Star Wars flick. That was the worst of the bunch by an astronomical unit.

And the thing that sucks it that I still haven't seen it. Not that I didn't want to go or anything, It now seems like i'm one of only a few who can't go due to lack of fundage and/or medical problems (ie: a mental disorder that prevents you from going out into crowds alone ie: again - me)

i just wonder what is your definition of success then.

Here's what I say to the haters:

*licks*

...I spend too much time at the LJ community...

I guess most people just haven't seen giant near-realistic robots on screen. And sexy looking ones at that!

Well the reason is because it was the first new StarWars Movie in 20 years and tickets are more expensive now.

Back on topic, The Movie will continue to earn money for the next few weeks and then just wait and see what happens when the DVD is released...

TF was the highest grossing film ever in Korea or something wasn't it? Hence I reckon they will love it in Japan, I mean giant robots, that's better than sex for them:P

I didn't think they included DVD sales in box office gross...but if they do, you're right; I would be willing to wager we could actually see the movie climb into that coveted number 2 spot. Personally I don't understand how Titanic grossed almost 2 billion; it was a horrible movie.

For all you investors, I'd be buying up Hasbro stock before their 3Q profit reports come out...the stock is going to go up significantly when they announce them. Does anyone know when the third quarter reports are released, perchance?

I'm doing my part in the meantime, having seen the flick 7 times now. I just sit in the theater with a big grin on my face when i watch it, loving every minute and soaking it all in..

Just a quick note: Disturbia is being advertised on TV for DVD release as "Transformers' Shia LeBeouf stars in..." I speculated that TF was going to be his signature movie, the one he would springboard into A-list Hollywood with. Looks like I was right!

Oh, after careful consideration I have determined that there will be at least one movie that surpasses Transformers at the box office: Transformers 2 Imagine what THAT will make if you throw in all the build-up hype that is inherent to sequels!

Not really. They'll just continue to combine the two. Which is...creepy.

Awesome. Good to know my wife and I helped with those numbers. Seen the movie 5 times in the theater.
Great job TF fans!!!!

Great news with the budget gaining. Hopefully we could get this movie into a trilogy.

Wheehee! *parties*

I wish I had the money and the time to go see it more...I've seen it twice now, but if I could I'd have seen it a third, and a fourth time now...

I thought that was the plan?
