Transformers has made nearly 400 million worldwide in 5 days and that's with some TERRIBLE reviews. I can only think that if it had half decent reviews, hell even mixed reviews, it would be a lot higher.

201 domestically, just shy of Dark Knight's 5 day record. 30 of my dollars are in that. I saw it twice including a 17 dollar Imax show....god that's expensive for a bigger screen.
The problem here is Transformers huge cult following. People that love Transformers go to see robots change shape and beat each other up. That's the only thing both of these movies have going for them, and that is all the mega transformer geeks need to go see this movie three or four times. So far, I think it is the nearly universal opinion of anyone who isn't a dedicated fan of Transformers that this is an awful movie.

Case in point, I only went and saw this because one of my good friends is a ridiculous transformers nerd. Based on how bad the first was, I wouldn't have gone to this one otherwise. As it is, when the inevitable third movie comes out, he's on his own. Both transformers movies have been complete garbage. Not getting fooled a third time.
