Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen made a ton of money.
Transformers 2, sequel to the 2007 hit based on the ’80s TV cartoon series, is expected to have earned an astral $201 million, according to Paramount, its producing studio. That’s nearly a third higher than the previous top Wednesday-to-Sunday take ÇƒÓ $152.4 million, for Spider-Man 2 in 2004 ÇƒÓ and within a hair of the all-time five-day total, $203.7 million (Friday to Tuesday), for last year’s The Dark Knight.
Even before the negative reviews started coming out, it never crossed my mind that it even had a shot at the Dark Knight record.
