2009 June : Michael Bay Dot Com

Jun

First Day

The 400 critics around the globe spoke. Then fans around the world spoke.
Transformers made $60.6 million dollars in the United States for a total of around $100 million from the world on opening day! One of the biggest single days in movie history.
Then never seem to understand that I make movies for people to take a ride and escape.
To all the Transformer Fans - Thank You
Michael

'Transformers' scores $60.6 mil on day 1

Paramount’s DreamWorks-produced action sequel “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” – screened for a receptive group of European exhibs at the Cinema Expo confab here earlier this week – rung up $60.6 million in its first day in domestic release.
Par released the early estimate of first-day boxoffice Thursday morning. The figure included more than $16 million from midnight Wednesday performances, as the 2 ½-hour, Michael Bay-helmed pic — in which Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox reprise topliner roles — seems well positioned to hit its projected $150 million-plus in opening-frame boxoffice through Sunday.’

Revenge of the Fallen Midnight Showing: $16 million

Nelson here…
TF2 made $16 million in just on the midnight showings alone.
Only The Dark Knight and Star Wars Ep. 3 have done such but they did it on a Thursday plus had the benefit opening earlier in the day.

Michael Bay can blow up ILM computers too…

Nelson here..
If there’s someone that can make computers go beyond their maximum (or at least try), it’s Michael.
Visual-effects supervisor Scott Farrar was in charge of turning Industrial Light & Magic’s computers up to 11 to create the new characters and told reporters that the sequel features 40 new characters. That and the increased resolution of the characters for new IMAX footage nearly exhausted ILM’s render farms: After one hard night of rendering computer-generated footage, some of the hardware actually exploded.… [ Read more ]

Spoke to Mike a while ago, here are some tidbits.
