Looks like the 3 day estimate was upped from $97.4m to $97.5m...

not bad not bad at all

Monte Carlo sure sputtered out quickly.

These kinds of movies always have good legs during the week in the summer though. Wouldn't be shocked to see it reach close to 30 Million.

Who thought it'd do 97m 3day & 117m 4-day after a dismal 37m day 1

When Transformer 4 comes out. I think it is best not to look at MTC or Pre sales.

I realize everyone's all impressed by Transformers having something resembling legs, but its six-day is still lower than most of you predicted. By a decent margin.

ESTIMATED 6-DAY: 181.1

YOUR PREDICTIONS:

devin28flick - 221.4
jmovies - 205
Flava'd vs The World - 240
Rev - 250
Libs - 208
Archangel - 234
MadGez - 190-200
Keyser Soze - 165
2001 - 235
Bluebomb - 212
wrongturn687 - 220
BKB - 150

Don't mention such things. They won't like it. Besides, I'm sure it'll just have an amazing multiplier and beat the Dark Knight

Yeah, Transformers 3 did rebound from it's rather dud of an opening but it's still underwhelming (which is fine by my). Harry Potter definitely has a chance at number one now.

Paramount's overly-positive responses to every newly released figure have been worth a few chuckles, though.

I blame Obama for Transformers not reaching my prediction.

Fixed

Actually DH2 is not guarantee to win the year domestically

Based of Wednesday opening it appeared TF3 would struggle for 300 million.

However the question is more like over or under 340-350 million now and DH2 will have to do really well to get such a gross.

Domestic is a dog fight.

Overseas, TF3 is doing far better than expected.

So win win win...

People are generally impressed for TF3 has recovered far better than any would have expected from its Wednesday opening.

You suck, DS!

Agree. This movie did 360 from wensday. It is getting great WOM. It is looking to be the biggest one yet WW. It made 181 when many thought it would come close to that as of last week. It will make more the the first. Ether way you look at it, it is a WIN. You really think people are going to bad mouth a movie that is getting a great reaction and that is a box-office hit. Get real. This is not Cars 2.

5th biggest 6 day of all time isn't impressive?

Don't know how you feel about spaghetti, but the rest seems pretty apt

Imo DH2 and TF3 should be around the same pace by day 6 unless DH2 opens well over 150 million..

TF3 is going to be the 3rd Fastest to 200 Million, if it makes it in day 7 on Tuesday or even on Day 8, if it gets 215 Million.

1 The Dark Knight WB 5 $203,773,518
2 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen P/DW 5 $200,077,255
3 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest BV 8 $214,563,858

Transformers: Dark of the Moon $181,125,0001

No it will hit 200 million on Day 8.

Did some forward projections and it looks like it will end up over 340 million.

It should be quite ahead of Spiderman 3 by Sunday

Sure it's impressive. But if The Dark Knight Rises opened to 140 opening weekend, it would still be a disappointment compared to expectations.

I get people being relieved for the legs, but now people are acting like the thing blew the roof off the box office and beat all expectations. In truth, for the period people were predicting, it underperformed as compared to their expectations.

May not be impressive when you look at what Part 2 did but it is Impressive. Tracking and pre sales did not have this movie doing 181 million. That is a fact. The reason why everybody is impressed is because of the 360 it did after opening day and WW total so far. This time last week 181 was not in play for most people.

Ok, i admit i was way off

we sort of ignored the fact that ROTF wom did have an effect.


However TDK2 will come off one of the most popular and well liked blockbusters of the modern era. An opening below TDK would be sad...

It might have opened lower than we all predicted but after opening day, it recovered really nicely. A lot better than Dark Shape was expecting after the first numbers.

Very much so. I just don't think it's worth all the "woah" posts I'm seeing when it made $25m less than most of the conservative guesses.

For instance -- I was impressed with Shrek Forever After's legs. But that doesn't make its drop-off compared to expectations any better.
