One of the keepers of Michael Bay’s official site got word on where things stand with the inevitable Transformers 3: I spoke to Michael today and he had a little update on his future projects: He will be meeting later this week with Steven Spielberg, and Ehren Kruger to discuss ideas for Transformers 3. By the end [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was finally able to top the $400 million mark here at the U.S. box office, on September 5th — its 74th day of release. Guess I was right. Paramount was quick to issue a press release: HOLLYWOOD, CA (September 7, 2009) – Following its record smashing opening in late June, [...]

Remember that embarrassing bit of narcissism from Revenge of the Fallen when you see the Bad Boys poster in Sam’s dorm room? Apparently Michael Bay is more attached to the franchise than we realized, because suddenly they’re talking about a Bad Boys 3. Before you get too excited — although if you actually love the first [...]

Last weekend, Transformers 2 dropped down to 15th place at the box office — don’t feel bad, it’s still the #1 movie of the year by a margin of over $100 million dollars — with $1.6 million. That raised its overall U.S. gross to $396.75 million. Will it be able to break the $400 million mark? Probably, [...]

Being the #1 film of the year has some perks: namely, everybody naturally compares you to everything else that comes out afterwards. First there were the G.I. Joe vs. Transformers comparisons; now we’re getting a slew of Transformers vs. District 9 comparisons. What do the two have in common? Well, it’s more what they don’t: while [...]

They’re both movie franchises that are based on TV franchises that were created for the soul purpose of marketing Hasbro toys. So why did Transformers tromp around this summer destroying other worthy films like Public Enemies at the box office, while G.I. Joe has gotten such a “meh” response? That’s what Film School Rejects wants to [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen screenwriter Roberto Orci, who also wrote Star Trek and is writing its sequel, told io9 that Star Trek 2 won’t be anything like Revenge of the Fallen. He was mostly referring to the idea that the sequel won’t feature the Enterprise crew “refusing the call to adventure”, a traditional adventure movie [...]

So Tyrese Gibson was at Comic-Con this past weekend to hype his upcoming movie Legion, which is about angels with machine guns. (Seriously, it looks awesome.) But naturally, with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen still making an obscene amount of money around the world, he was asked if there were any immediate plans for a [...]

After a month in theaters, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has made a whopping $379.2 million. That’s enough to land in the #10 spot for highest-grossing movies in the U.S. ever, knocking out The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’s $377 million. As the film is still running strong in theaters, it will [...]

The money just keeps pouring in over at Paramount thanks to Transformers 2’s wild box office success. Their favored method of basking in the glory: press releases. The newest one came in yesterday and announced that Transformers has reached $300 million domestically in only 14 days — a record eclipsed only by The Dark Knight. [...]

Ever since Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opened last week, there’s been something of an Internet flame war raging over how good the movie actually is. It’s gone a little something like this: Critics: Transformers 2 is one of the worst movies of the year. Fanboys: Critics suck! They want everything to be Oscar-worthy and independent and [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen rocketed to a five-day Wednesday-to-Sunday opening north of $200 million — only the second film after The Dark Knight to do that. And it just made another $14.9 million on Monday. In other words, there’s no stopping it — whether or not you liked it (and to be sure, a [...]

Ramon Rodriguez seems like kind of a cool guy. He was on Rescue Me, he was on The Wire, and apparently he can balance a spinning basketball on a pen he’s holding with his teeth. His role in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was a classic Michael Bay-style annoying sidekick role; half the time he’s [...]

After $16 million worth of overnight showings,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen scored the biggest Wednesday gross of any movie ever, with $60.6 million. That beats the previous record, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’s $44.2 million, by quite a lot. In fact, the gross is now the second-biggest opening of any day. It came [...]
