Any questions about how absolutely huge Transformers is going to be were answered this Tuesday, when the film opened for it’s official release In just that single day, Transformers earned more than three times what Live Free or Die Hard did when it opened last Wednesday.
Michael Bay’s giant freakin robots movie debuted with a massive $27.4 million on Tuesday, making it the biggest ever take ever brought in by any movie on a Tuesday. You might think the competition isn’t very fierce there, since Tuesday’s aren’t exactly prime movie going time, but the previous champ was Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest with a very distant $15 million.
Add in the $8.8 million the movie made the day before in advance, 8PM showings and Transformers has already grossed more than $36 million just domestically. By contrast, last weekend’s number one Ratatouille made $47 million over the entire weekend, and Live Free or Die Hard only made $33 million. Those robots have quite a punch.
The only question left now is how much money will Transformers make when the big weekend hits. Will its potential audience already have been depleted, since most of the film’s hardcore fans will have seen it during the week or during the 4th of July holiday? That it will be number one this weekend is almost assured, it’s just a question of by how much.

I have no idea how Mike could say it sucls nig time. That movie rocked rocked rocked and ROCKED. I rarely buy movies when they come out on DVD but this one will forsure go in my hits library.
The movie proved once again that Michael bay continues to make mediocre films. The character development, pacing, dialog, acting, and cinematography were quite weak. This movie didn't know whether or not it wanted to be marketed to kids or adults and got fuddled trying to do both. People argue that the CG was amazing but overall within the last two years having good cg in a movie is the industry standard and it remained unimpressive. It is unfortunate that more people will see this shitty movie and even "enjoy it" while a movie like die hard will be forgotten. The only bright spot of this movie was the use of hot chicks to distract you from how bad the movie really is.
Well well well. We can obviously see who the haters are. By the way Mr. Bay makes good fantasy about "giant robots from space!" I don't know...could anyone but Dreamworks or Bay have done it justice? Probably not. I give it an A. By the way, the trailers don't do it justice. It moves so fast; YOU WILL miss something. Watch it again and it will make sense.
WHAT? Sucks? Any one who says this movie is not worth seeing must have their freaking head examined. This is a must see! Acting sucked? Wow... the acting was superb in this movie. Lebuf. sp.. Was incredible. Voit, always rocks! the chic. ABSOLUTELY FREAKING HOT! Haters on crack is what sucks.
Transformers is a triumph for Michael Bay and for the this brand of Movie. Nothing could have been improved. ... it was perfect with the right blend of action and humour, which resulted in the movie not being to serious, which can only be a plus for a movie of this calibre. And the good thing is, anyone can watch this movie!!! 10 out of 10 and once again congrats to Mr Bay for an outstanding movie!
