Well the fanfare is certainly setting in. Transformers hysteria is sweeping the planet, and we have some news to help you cope with it 
The first bit of news is how well Bay’s film is going at the box office. On the Wednesday it managed to haul in a whopping $29.1 million to take it’s total in 2 and a half days to $65.7 million.
It has set a new record for Wednesday beating out the likes of Passion of the Christ and Star Wars: Episode I. It is now in contention with War of the Worlds to become the second highest grossing 4th of July opener, and some are speculating it to take in $150 million in it’s first week.
After them it was Ratatouille with $10.2 million and then Bruce Willis’ Live Free or Die Hard which made a cool $6 million. All up Ratatouille has pulled in $72 million and Die Hard a nice $63.2 million. Anyway back to Transformers
On to the next Transformers news item, Bay is already thinking about doing a sequel. He says in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that he already has ideas for a sequel. He also states that after watching 15 minutes of the 1986 Transformers movie wanted to be shot, anyway here is a quote from that article.
There’s a lot of really cool, big robot stuff that I had in my head that we didn’t do. I just want to see how this works. You might not grow as much as a director [to do a sequel]. But it’s kind of like you have your baby and you don’t want someone else to take it..” When asked whether he would make Transformers 2 his next film, Bay replied: “I don’t know if it would be ready. It just takes so long to do a script. A couple things are on the horizon, but [maybe] I’ll do my little movie that I can knock out, because we all think we’re going to have a strike.”
Well I am gonna be seeing Transformers tonight so I will see how it all goes, hopefully he leaves a gap open for a sequel (believe it or not I have stayed away from all the reviews and information on the movie) and who knows? maybe he will go back to cartoons
