Transformers have done it! They hit the $100 million mark in a pretty nifty time of 4 and a half days. On Friday it pulled in $22.4 million which puts it ahead of it’s rivals Ratatouille (which was beating it at one point) and the action flick Live Free or Die Hard (which was never in the lead :P)
I was one of the few who did enjoy Transformers and the action scenes were absolutely crazy (although I did think that Bay went a bit overboard with the CGI as there was soooo much detail you couldn’t tell when a robot started and finished) and for god sake Optimus Prime did have lips, although they were shit, he had fucking lips, damn Michael Bay lying to us.
Enough Transformers rambling, some other movers and shakers at the box office were 1408 which managed to cross the $50 million mark today after 16 days at the box office. FF: Rise of the Silver Surfer is sucking big time and so is Sicko only managing to pull in just over a million after adding more theatres.
It seems that nobody will be able to beat Spider-Man 3 which managed to take the reigns of the most grossing film of 2007 so far followed by our green friend Shrek. I really cannot see anybody coming close to $330 million this year although it is possible, I just don’t see it happening.
Although 2006 was a year to remember with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest taking in a fucking $423 million at the box office, freaking psycho. Well I have had enough, just wanted to jot some thoughts down so I remember it all.
