DOCKER:
As said, didn't exactly understand the message of your post. But, thank god you actually didn't imply what I thought you did- Stealth numbers... didn't take it personal, was just overly surprised if you meant what I thought. Because that would be- wow...
NINTENDO:
Definitely better than the SR effect. If my experience with my "showing" of the Transformers trailer is any example of what's going to happen- expect to see at the very least 'War of the World' type numbers. In a class of fifty, all of the guys (around 15-20) lined up behind my computer one by one in a matter of seconds asking me to play it over and over and over again. And dude, they more than loved what they saw. If that is a 'test survey' I am really looking forward to the results.
Note- I am not saying top three. But top five? I see that as a definite.
Also unlike SR- you've got off the chain action sequences, EFFECTS
NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE, overall fun and not more dramatic and serious (expect ALOT of kids as well due to this factor), and out of all of the summer movies it is one of the FEW that is not a sequel. Thus, when everything feels "seen it before, when do we gets something else?" Optimus Prime will drive right up and welcome them in with open robotic arms- "My name is Optimus Prime."
Not to mention that once the marketing campaign hits- the world will be Transformers everything, case in point- they have Transformer, wait for it... WASH CLOTHS!!!! I don't know the main pro of that, but what I'm trying to say is- expect to see Transformers everywhere when they start to release alot of this stuff this Saturday.
It's definitely bound to make more than SR. I loved SR, but it was lacking in what the summer crowd wants to see- a fun, action packed, friendly thrill ride that brings new to the table. TF has that down.
