Box Office Results: Crossed the $1 billion mark

[Albershide]

So the opening screenings have passed and now it's time for the official premieres. I've always loved movie statistics and the box office results definitely needs a thread of it's own. We know that many things are decided by these numbers and there is one certain thing - DOTM won't fail.
I guess tomorrow we'll have the first box office results, but until then let's check some forecasts by some box office sites.

boxofficemojo.com
USA - $320 million
Non USA - $460 million
Worldwide - $780 million

boxoffice.com
Opening weekend - $164 million
USA - $350 million

cynicritics.com
Opening weekend - $120 million
USA - $385 million

Of course nothing is certain but I continue to think that DOTM will easily surpass the $1 billion mark. I'm confident that the movie will take the 3rd spot in the all time worldwide box office from Return of the King ($1.1 billion).

And there's a hell of a fight coming our way with HP. So I'm eager to see the first estimated results tomorrow.

Box office mojo is being run by Harry Potter and Nolan lunatics, which is why they are low balling TF3. TF3 would probably make 200 million by next week alone in the DOM.

[The Transformer]

I personally think DOTM will make less than ROTF

I believe the opposite but everything is uncertain TF3 won't fail i believe like Albertside for the Billion and 350 millions min. domestically max to top ROTF and much better if the god's will !

[Sector_7_ITA]

As said in an old post, I believe it will make about $1.4 billion, you should consider that 3D tickets cost more!

[swishbig]

I personally think DOTM will make less than ROTF

That's what I think too....but I really don't want that to happen

[IHeartBayhem]

At the very least, DOTM will break 300 million, and at the very most.....the sky's the limit.

[Roll Out]

It should get to the mid-three-hundred millions, at least.

[5 Star General]

if you start a sentence with "I", you don't say personally. The letter "I" already suggest its personal..

anyway....How long the movie has in the theater..i wanna go back for oe final viewing before i settle for teh BD extended eidition

[warhorse]

Yeah, this made more in less than a month than TF2 made it's entire run WW. Me so happy for this. It means that Paramount won't mind lending a little bit more dough for more Autobot/Decepticon character development time!

And with Captain America, The Avengers and Star Trek, Paramount is going to be having some very good years for some time now.

Hey, off topic, is Paramount producing Michael Bay's Ninja Turtle project?????? Anyone, anyone????

No they haven't. I'm going to my early screening tonight at 10 pm.

[Roll Out]

The numbers from tonight's 9pm and 12am showings should give us a pretty good idea how well TF3 will do.

Hoping for something in the mid-teen millions.

[BrunnerD]

Movie is going to own box-office records. HP is going to get handled like a wand.

It was, but less than ROTF made in its midnight showings, and ROTF didn't have the advantage of the $2 - $3/ticket bump for 3D.

That having been said, at my local IMAX theater both the 8:45 PM and Midnight shows were sold out, which is a good thing.

Latest update from Deadline:

"The Fourth Of July fireworks are already beginning at the box office. Sources tell me that Paramount's Transformers 3 is on target for 2011's biggest North American opening day, even though it's Wednesday, beating Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 which had the year's highest gross on a Friday. Right now, the Michael Bay 3D actioner could hit $40M today, which will include the $8M from Wednesday's midnight screenings. (But not Tuesday's pre-midnight 3D sneaks of $5.5M.) Paramount itself is putting the range between $35M-$40M. Pirates 4 opened to $34.8M including midnight shows."

Definitely over $1 billion worldwide.

[Albershide]

Another article confirming the $40 million on first day (approximately). With the $13.5 from Tuesday it's almost $55 million so far.

Obviously the Non USA box office will play a bigger role this time (not like ROTF).

[brAnd7onX]

I disagree with $1billion worldwide... This movie wont make more than ROTF worldwide but I do think it might surpass ROTF's foreign totals. But will fall short in domestic.

[PSofosNextGen]

These are awesome results and doesn't included the real global total ! Just an early estimation ! Better than TF2 ?

[TIMtationX]

Potter will probably win domestically, but I think DOTM will win worldwide

[Albershide]

Potter will probably win domestically, but I think DOTM will win worldwide

I highly doubt that. Have you see the international numbers of the previous HP movies? J. K. Rowling's book is much more popular out of the USA. For example all 7 HP movies are in top 20 of the international box office (the lowest with $550M). ROTF is 37th with $430M.

Boxoffmojo has been updated:

Domestic: $261,000,000 40.5%

Agreed! Potthead is much more popular in Europe than it is in the US. Just watch these numbers!

All-Time Box Office USA:

All-Time Box Office Non-USA:

All-Time Box Office World-wide:

As you can see, both of the first two Transformers movies has made more money in the US than the best Potthead movie.
So come on all the people in the US!!! Go and see DOTM so it will pass The Dark Knight on the All-Time Box Office USA list!!!! :borat
