TRANSF Update: $65 Million Box Office Opening


Transformersmoviewallpaperoriginal1 Whether they're going to beat up on Spidey or Jack Sparrow still remains to be seen, but the butt-kicking alien robots of Transformers have turned in a serious performance in their first two-plus days in theaters. Apparently, people really like big, battling robots, because the movie turned in more than $65 million in box office receipts by the end of July 4th. It opened to a single showing Monday night, then ran on a full schedule Tuesday and Wednesday. With four days left in the weekend, and a daily average of nearly $30 million, not counting that Monday preview, I'm guessing that Peter Parker's spidey senses are tingling, Jack Sparrow is tossing back a few extra shots, and Master of Explosions Michael Bay is getting ready to crack a few bottles of bubbly with Optimus Prime. Could this film break box office records and close TRANSF, the PPX stock? So far, with a price of POP$29.50 at the time of this post, the market says no. What do you think will happen? Tell us in the comments. —Gregory Mone

It seems obvious to me that the Harry Potter Movie with its massive base will beat out transformers. Thats just my opinion.

You have to realize though, the transformers ARE what the parents of all those potter crazy's HAD as a kid. We ALL had something in a transformer, and I have to say, the transformer figures I had as a kid were ALOT more complicated then the ones out now. I have seen the movie, and I have to say, Bumblebee's Comaro is SWEET!!!!!
