Spider-Man 3 is pretty much done.
Honestly, I haven't see AWE yet but if most people say if you liked the 2nd one you'd like this one, then I'm not in a hurry to see it. I'd rather watch FF this weekend or even TF again.
Then next week it's Harry Potter followed by the Simpsons. I really don't have that much time to watch all these movies.

"Transformers" Nabs $30M First Day
By Garth Franklin
Wednesday July 4th 2007 12:50am
The numbers are coming in and "Transformers" is set to do absolute gangbusters over the holiday.
According to Fantasy Moguls, the film has taken in just under $30 million in its first full day of business in the United States on Tuesday.
Take note that this does NOT include the $8.8 million the film earned on Monday evening preview screenings. Even so, that opening day figure is easily the all-time best Tuesday opening ever, and the fourth best opening day of 2007, trailing only the Spiderman-Shrek-Pirates trifecta ($59.8M, $38.4M & $42.9M respectively) in May.
As critical reviews have come in, early very positive buzz has tapered off to a more mixed, but still slightly positive reaction. The film scored a 59% approval rating and 6/10 average score on Rotten Tomatoes, whilst Metacritic gave it a 62/100 critics reviews score and an 8.3/10 user rating.
Not faring as well is heavily panned Mandy Moore/Robin Williams comedy "License to Wed" which pulled in a mere $2 million on Tuesday. In comparison this past weekend's "Ratatouille" in its fifth day of business scored four times as much with $7.9 million.

Glad to see Ocean's 13 passed 100 million, awesome movie...
Also, Transformers is going to be huge, it already made 8 million last night and today I went to see Ocean's 13 and I've never seen a line as long as I did for Transformers at the theater I usually go to.
I went to see Transformers last light and it was crazy. I loved it and I plan on seeing it again but judging by how the lines were last night I wont get near the theater for a few day.

Btw, when I said it was one of the worst movies, it isn't. Norbit and other films get that tag but I mean't it was one of the worst big movies that I was hoping would be good.

ROTSS is NOT the worst movie of the year...
If you have really high expectations you'll probably be disappointed, I had really low expectations and I really loved it. Its was better then any of the big 3 films imo.
I thought it was really good but maybe thats cause I dont really read FF comics much, I just like the charecters.

I enjoyed the first film more even though it seemed bland. RotSS was just terrible imo. The whole bear scene was so stupid. I hope we get a third film and I hope we get a new director. Tim Story has no talent.

The first film was just crap...it was kind of like a TV movie, the second film was a big improvement. The bear scene wasnt too bad to me...I think it was a joke more for kids, it didn't ruin the film for me but I wish FOX hired a director with more talent for action films, Tim is really good with the family stuff but I think hes new to action/scifi.
Thats why part of me is sad that the films not doing well but the other part of me is excited, if we get no sequel marvel gets the rights back and in a few more years we might see an amazing FF film

Box-office heavy hitters poised for strong weekend
Thursday July 5 8:57 PM ET
"Transformers" triggered box-office fireworks during the Fourth of July holiday, "Ratatouille" successfully competed against family barbecues, and "Live Free or Die Hard" continued to wave its flag.
With no new wide releases scheduled to open on Friday, the weekend dynamics already are in gear, with the three dominant holiday players on track to extend their winning streaks.
On the Fourth, "Transformers," a DreamWorks/Paramount Pictures co-production, solidified its standing with an estimated $29.1 million gross for the day in 4,011 theaters.
ADVERTISEMENT
The PG-13 demolition derby, directed by Michael Bay, roared out of the gate Monday with 8 p.m. screenings and grossed $8.8 million. On Tuesday, it pulled in $27.9 million and jumped another 4.3 percent on Wednesday. The domestic cume for "Transformers" now stands at an estimated $65.7 million.
Paramount, which is releasing the film, trumpeted the fact that "Transformers" racked up the biggest July 4 single-day gross in box-office history, beating the $21.95 million that "Spider-Man 2" claimed in 2004.
"Typically, when the Fourth falls on a Wednesday, business goes down," DreamWorks spokesman Marvin Levy said. "So the fact that it went up is a tremendous surprise to all of us. Certainly, it was a record-breaking Fourth of July."
COOKING UP BUSINESS
Buena Vista Pictures' release of Pixar Animation Studios' "Ratatouille," the G-rated toon directed by Brad Bird and set in a Parisian kitchen, built momentum of its own during the holiday.
The movie bowed the weekend of June 29 in first place with $47 million -- a low number for a Pixar title (last summer's "Cars" arrived to $60.1 million, and Bird's previous film, "The Incredibles," debuted at $70.5 million) -- but "Ratatouille" now appears to be picking up ground.
On Monday, it grossed $7.5 million, the best Monday performance ever for a Pixar movie, outdistancing the $6.95 million that "Finding Nemo" took in on its best Monday. On Tuesday, the food-intoxicated film collected $7.85 million, beating "Nemo's" best Tuesday number of $7.18 million. "Ratatouille" also registered a jump Wednesday and pulled in $10.2 million for the day, the best Wednesday performance for a Pixar movie, supplanting "Toy Story 2's" $9.5 million. As of Wednesday, the critically applauded film had collected an estimated $72.6 million.
After six days, "Ratatouille" was just a shade below the six-day, $73.3 million gross of "Monsters, Inc." and was chasing the six-day, $78 million gross of "Cars."
"When you go in the summer, the proportion of business that comes from weekend business changes," Buena Vista president of distribution Chuck Viane said. "In the fall, 70 percent of the total week's business comes out of the weekend, but in the summer, the weekend accounts for 55 percent to 60 percent of the week's business, with the rest moving to weekdays."
20th Century Fox's "Die Hard" also contributed to the holiday's explosion. The PG-13 actioner -- which opened June 27 -- rolled along, taking in an estimated $4.5 million Tuesday and an estimated $6.1 million Wednesday, bringing its estimated cume to more than $63 million.
NO ALTAR FOR 'WED'
Warner Bros. Pictures' romantic comedy "License to Wed" is heading into the weekend as an also-ran. The PG comedy directed by Ken Kwapis, in which Robin Williams plays a reverend who offers offbeat marital counseling to Mandy Moore and John Krasinski, was positioned as counterprogramming to attract female audiences. But it ran headlong into a slew of withering reviews and has grossed an estimated $5.2 million in 2,401 theaters since opening Tuesday.
For the upcoming three-day portion of what for many Americans is an extended holiday weekend, "Transformers"' haul should total about $60 million. While Paramount continues to downplay expectations -- which has the effect of making the resulting numbers even more impressive -- the movie is on track to coast beyond the $100 million mark and could even surmount the $125 million barrier.
While openings during the Fourth of July week make for inexact comparisons because the holiday falls on different weekdays, "Transformers"' 6 1/2-day gross is guaranteed to beat the $96.1 million that "Independence Day" earned in more than 5 1/2 days in 1996 and the $100.5 million that "War of the Worlds" took in over five days in 2005.
By the end of its first 10 days, "Ratatouille" should cross the $100 million mark with the help of a weekend in the $30 million range. "Die Hard" also should see a three-day gross in the high-teen-million range, which would see its cume rise to the low- to mid-$80 million range.
On the more limited front, Lionsgate Films' release of the Weinstein Co.'s "Sicko," from Michael Moore, added theaters Tuesday to increase its count to 626 locations and will up that to 703 on Friday. Its cumulative gross stands at an estimated $7.2 million.
MGM opened Werner Herzog's war drama "Rescue Dawn" on Wednesday in five theaters in Los Angeles and New York, grossing $37,878 for the day. It will add one theater Friday in Canada.
Warner Independent Pictures introduced the comedy "Introducing the Dwights," directed by Cherie Nowlan and starring Brenda Blethyn, in four theaters on Wednesday to the tune of $11,596.
Fox Searchlight will open the sinister family drama "Joshua," directed by George Ratliff, in six theaters on Friday.

Transformers seems to have done really well based on the estimates, it's around $153 million.
SM3 at the same time $176, Shrek 3 at $144 million, AWE at $167 million.
It'll be interesting to see if TF can keep up with the May movies or even surpass some of them.
