After five days of release Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen became the second film in history to make $2oo million in five days. Of course, the first film being last summers The Dark Knight which made $203 million in the same amount of time. These numbers are so close that we won’t know the exact figure until tomorrow morning. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Transformers numbers dropped a little because I am sure that Paramount has embellished their numbers just a tad. They want to compete with The Dark Knight, and what better way to do so then making $200 million in five days. If you have been following our box office tracking reports we shared with you the huge opening day that Transformers 2 had with $60 million on opening day.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is continuing it’s box office domination as the film took in another $28.6 million on Thursday. After two days of release the blockbuster sequel has already made $89.2 million. We still have three more days left for its opening weekend numbers and at the pace it is going I would expect another $75 – 80 million Friday – Sunday. That would put the film in the range of $164 – $170 million for the first five days of release. It would be right around the five days openings of Spider Man 3 ( $169.4M) and Star Wars Episode III ( $172.8M). Have you seen Transformers 2 yet? Leave us some feedback on our Transformers discussion. We want to know what you think!

Yesterday I gave you my box office predictions for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The blockbuster sequel opened yesterday with $16 million in ticket sales from midnight showings and after a full day of release the Michael Bay directed sequel broke the Wednesday release record with $60 million on opening day. That is about $16 million more than the previous record holder which was Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix which opened with $44 million in 2007. It was reported earlier this morning that Revenge of the Fallen had took in $55 million, but now Variety has raised that number to an even more impressive $60 million. As a reminder, The Dark Knight took in $67.2 million opening day last summer, so Transformers 2 is not too far behind that. Check back with us as we track the box office for Transformers 2 all week long.

Summer blockbuster season is now in full swing with the release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The sequel to the 2007 hit film opened last night to $16 million in ticket sales for midnight showings across the country. Midnight shows were selling out at a record pace in both regular and IMAX screens. Some theaters even ran 24 hours of the film with shows at 3AM and 6AM selling out as well. So it is no surprise that we are looking at some mighty high box office returns come the end of this 5 day opening. Early reports are tracking this film in the realm of The Dark Knight and Spider man 3. Both films were huge opening week blockbusters. Last summer The Dark Knight took in $67 million in its first day of release. That is the highest grossing opening day for any film in history. Can Transformers 2 pull those same numbers? Keep reading to find out.

When you watch a movie like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen you have to almost forget about being critical and do your best to submerge yourself in the fanboy lust that Michael Bay has thrown on that screen. This is not a movie about complex characters, intricate plot details, or even a coherent story. Instead, this movie, as well as the original, is about one thing and one thing only: giant robots that fight each other. Once you realize that there will be no story, no likable characters, not a sense of continuity, you may be able to enjoy this film. Before I continue any further let me say one thing. If you thought the first movie was the best thing ever made, you are soon to have a new favorite film to put on your all time favorite list, next to Pirates of the Caribbean and The Mummy movies.

A new international poster for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has been released via Empire Magazine. The poster is different from the U.S versions which we have been seeing recently. It is more of an action poster which features Optimus Prime and Bumblee in an action pose, while Sam and Mikeala are running below. I think this poster looks much more cartoonish than the other ones released. I haven’t really been a fan of the posters I have seen. The trailer for the film looks fantastic but the posters just don’t excite me. But you should judge for yourself. Check it out and leave us your feedback.

MTV has released this exclusive photo of The Fallen from the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. We have continually heard about this new robot, but have yet to see him in action. In an interview with MTV News Transformers star Shia LaBeouf talked about the movie and the new guy pictured above. “Basically, the Fallen is to them what cavemen, Neanderthals were to us,” LaBeouf revealed. “He’s the ancestor, the first version of this exoskeleton. He’s the first version of this sentient being. That’s what he is. He’s the origins of what they came from.” “The Fallen, his transportation method is really unlike any other robot’s transportation method,” he added. “The way he fights is also very different. It’s spectacular, visually stunning, really incredible.” Check out Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in theaters June 24th!

From Director Michael Bay we get three new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen TV spots. Some of the footage we have already seen but there is some new stuff too.

I am not a big fan of the franchise thus far, but all of the footage that we have been able to see looks amazing. Watch all three TV spots after the jump.

As fans of Transformers anxiously wait for this movie to hit theaters, we have something that will definitely brighten your day! Michael Bay has released footage from his ShoWest presentation that he held last month in Las Vegas. This footage shows an extended scene with Sam, Mikaela, and Bumblebee,where the giant yellow Camaro/Autobot cries after hearing Sam will be leaving him for college. This scene is campy, but how else can a movie where robots talk, and can transform into cars really be? If the beginning segment doesn’t do it for you then keep watching as there is a montage where we get to see the Decepticons and lots of disaster. This is a must see video.

Fans of Transformers have reason to rejoice: Michael Bay says Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is going to be 147 in length. I know a lot of fanboys hate Michael Bay, but as a newcomer to the franchise, I think the first film was a pretty good movie. Not enough action and a bit too much “coming of age” storyline, but from the looks of the sequel, we’re going to get a lot more robot action. The first Transformers ran 144 minutes, so the new runtime is only a few minutes more. However, I’d rather see more then less, especially considering the potential the franchise has. Sources indicate there will be between 40-60 robots in the film. Reflect on that for a moment. So is this good news to Transformers fans? Is more robots and longer runtime better for the franchise?
