[NightWarrior]

This thread is the predictions for the 3 day weekend total for Transformers, I have not posted the 4 day, 5 day, 6 day,nor 7 day weekend threads yet, so don't discuss those right now! How much do you think Transformers will make Friday-Sunday?

 

[tviceman]

$140 million for the first week, July 2nd - 8th.

 

[Nivek]

I'm gonna be bold, $175 million first week.

I think it will do well, like 90-100, but I think this movie will last long in theaters. It's a new visual experience, people have never seen anything quite like this in theaters before. Whenever a movie has that quality, it does very well in the longrun. Think Star Wars, E.T., and Jurassic Park; which this movie has been compared to in terms of revolutionizing film effects.

studios ruin their 3 day gross potential with this extended weekend business...

and unless it's a uber fan fantasy that motivates ppl to camp outside days in advance...(ie starwars/lotr)

the movie always suffers for it
ie spidey 2
the last two DC movies
