"Transformers" drags the majority of ATRL, BOX OFFICE SMASH!
Quote:
Friday AM Update: Transformers: Age of Extinction earned an estimated $8.75 million from late Thursday shows. That includes $1.4 million from IMAX shows.
That number is in the same general ballpark as Godzilla ($9.3 million), The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ($8.7 million) and X-Men: Days of Future Past ($8.1 million). Godzilla and Spider-Man benefited from a 7 p.m. opening, though, while Transformers didn't open until 9 p.m. For the weekend, Transformers should wind up over $90 million.
Forecast: Rolling out at 4,233 locations this weekend, Transformers: Age of Extinction could be the first 2014 release to open over $100 million. It's unclear, though, if the addition of Dinobots and Mark Wahlberg is enough to combat the sense of "been there, done that" that's settled in around the fourth installment in this hugely profitable franchise.
Forecast (June 27-29)
1. Transformers 4 - $96 million
2. How to Train Your Dragon - $15.5 million (-37%)
3. 22 Jump Street - $15 million (-45%)
4. Think Like a Man Too - $12.3 million (-58%)
Bar for Success
The last Transformers movie earned $98 million on its opening weekend, and that's after burning off $64.8 million worth of demand on Wednesday and Thursday. Based on that, Transformers: Age of Extinction ought to be opening at least on par with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which has the top debut this year ($95 million).

I highly doubt it. There's very little hype. However, I hope it does well for Nicola's sake.

I love Mark Wahlberg but no. The first Transformers was the only good one. |

Hopefully not. I adore the first two but the third was a pile of **** and Michael needs to stop, especially when the cast aren't there for it. |

I hope this bombs so they realize that no sane person is here for this mess that was made by men in suits trying to make money.

I am so ****ing sick of this series. I really do NOT understand why it's popular.
With that being said, I hope it doesn't actually open that much and that this is the last one. But I'm not holding out my hopes too much.
