Transformers domestic gross predictions

[blind_fury]

Poll is coming soon.

Feel free to merge with the box office thread.

 

[Rezzo]

$170+

 

[nosebleed.]

Definitely more than $200 mil...but I still feel HP will be the factor that hinders TF from making more than $230.

 

[blind_fury]

I think it will make 130 million in the first week then go on to make 250 m.

Usually big blockbusters do double what they make in the first week.

 

[Avangarde]

Around the $220 mark

 

[Theweepeople]

220-240million is what I predicted.

 

[Overman27pj]

220-240 for me a well...I think people there is gonna be a very big rush at the top, but I think it is the type of movie that will sustain because it will say in many reviews/word of mouth 'This is one of the types of movies you have to go see on the big screen'...

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

I think it will be lucky to hit $200 million domestic. I see it doing closer to $180 million

 

[The Guardian]

I'M GONNA GO OUT ON A LIMB AND SAY $280M+, WHAT CAN I SAY, I'M AN OPTIMIST!!!up:

Are you basing this on the HP competition? Because the tracking for this movie has been phenomenal. Fantasymoguls.com's first forecast was $240 but they've since bumped it up to $330 after watching the movie.

Since none of it's revenue is going to IMAX showings I think 240+ , but if IMAX happens then I say 180 since IMAX hurts the regular domestic total

 

[AyeCapn]

280+

Lots of that from repeat viewing from people who think that the action went too fast. They want to see it again to catch the stuff they might have missed.

 

[WorthyStevens]

I'm gonna go on a very big limb here and say $280+ million. I just have a feeling.

 

[DarthAlani]

250 mil plus. **** harry potter

What I don't understand is, these websites like Fantasymoguls. Are they pretty much just guessing these numbers from the looks of advertisement, trailers and general public reaction to them? Or are they a little more professional and waiting for ticket presales to factor in?

 

[demitri_vampiro]

it's one of those movies that can go either way. still, i'd say it'll make 280+

Sandwiched in between Die Hard and Harry Potter it's tough to tell. Die Hard will either suck or be a Dark Horse and be massive. Harry Potter, the same. Transformers might have a huge opening and then quickly fizzle out after all the fanboys have seen it. Only time will tell.

Last time I checked on Rottentomatoes, DH4 had a good number of reviews already and is at around 74%.

It's 83% now. That's outstanding. That doesn't always translate to ticket sales... but it bodes well for Die Hard 4.

 

[DorkyFresh]

i'll say around 250-ish.

 

[DarthAlani]

The die -hard movies are good. **** harry potter

27 fresh, 5 rotten. Not too bad so far.

I was not planning on seeing Die Hard. But those reviews sound freakin great. I'm going on Fri. It'll be cool to see how Transformers stacks up next week.

 

[tviceman]

I still say Transformers will be top 3 in domestic gross when this year is over.
Potter will rake in right around $250 million no matter what Transformers or Die Hard does.
