Box Office Results: Crossed the $1 billion mark

[PSofosNextGen]

Transformers DOTM is up to a worldwide total of 882 million now. 900 million is a definite, 1 billion isnt a longshot, now its a decent possibility. The numbers must've been huge in China and hopefully they will be huge in Japan as well. I'd really love to see this movie hit 1 billion dollars worldwide.

This will hit over a billion dollars !!!

DOTM has passed all the other TF movies in total WW box-office (and is on the way to 1+ billion).

Given this fact...it makes me wonder how long it will be until Paramount announces a 4th TF movie.

[5 Star General]

I personally think DOTM will make less than ROTF

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????

What did you predict? Less than ROTF but more than DOTM?

The problem is, Japanese movie-goers today prefer Japanese films (mostly dramas) to American movies of Americans by Americans for Americans. Particularly in summer break season, there're many competitors out there. Also, many theaters in northern east Japan still remain closed due to Earthquake damages.

Any good ideas to boost DOTM's standing?

Sora...its good to hear that at least things are progressing forward after the Earthquake/sunami. No one should have to go through what happened over there.

As far as ideas to boost DOTM's standing...I shall continue to watch it-when I can-at the theatre here. I should be able to see it 3 times this week...

It's soooo impressive!...the total reached to date. I'm glad to see it's the top film of the franchise(world wide totals)!

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Posts IMAX Launch Record In China For A U.S. Movie

[Sillypuddy]

lets say it is able to pull in 20 million more domestically...that leaves roughly 85 million in the foreign market still needed to hit 1 billion... tough nut to crack, but I think it will happen. This is what will irritate Posofs....Potter will get there first.....

Had to say it..... peace all....

Awesome.

Alright........ It seems that some of you have problems with numbers.

So let me break this down for you all...........

DOTM made 880+ million dollars. The predictions are that it will gross around 150 mil in China which means that the movie has about 90-100 mil to make here.
That leaves us at 980 mil. Domestically it will certainly earn a minimum of 10 mil this week which makes for 990 mil. Overseas it will make 30 -40 mil this week.
So that amounts to more than 1.000 bil. without counting all the remaining weeks in the other countries and the U.S.

DOTM DOESN'T NEED JAPAN in order to join the billion-dollar-movie-club.

Let's say it's able for another 40 until November !

Harry potter had 71% down from Captain America Domestically ! Foreign Potter yes i think that will go higher , but both will top some billion movies ! Domestically Transformers Yes will rule and this is Paramount : Captain's America great plan ! Sacrifice himself For Transformers 3 !

Not to mention, TF3 will see a jump in BO probably by the end of August when it hits the discount theaters. TF3 is making bank.

Now that Harry Potter is out of the way, and a forth movie is done that is as good as DOTM or the first Transformers, there is little in the way of major summer blockbuster films in the future, not as big as Transformers. Avatar and the Hobbit movies will probably aim towards a winter run, and Nolan's Batman's would have run their course. Transformers might be the formidable force to reckon with in the future! Michael Bay may not be directing, but I think he's still going to have his stamp in there somewhere, either it be a co-producer or his characters and designs will bleed on to the next films.
