Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is now at $760 million worldwide.
What does this mean? It means it has just barely surpassed the lifetime (theatrical) profits of the first Movie. The first film took in $708 million worldwide, but cost $50 million less to make ($150 million production budget for movie 1, $200 million for movie 2).
Keep in mind that this is only after 1 month of release for Revenge of the Fallen vs the entire lifetime of the first film.

Closing in on $1.5 BILLION together just in theatrical releases. A billion and a half dollars collectively just from cinemas from production budgets close to $350 million combined. That money's been made back a few times over.

I'll take a storm cloud like this any day.
More $$$ = more Transformers.

Silver lining right there.

Proud to say I've contributed as well and will continue to do so until it leaves the theater.
Indeed!
I hope these guys can continue to write but WITHOUT bayfluence!!
I think they do a much better job without his help,

I'd ordinarily not be that concerned, but you wouldn't want anyone else to waltz in and mess everything up established thus far (the 2 Burton Batman films VS the 2 following Batman films for instance). As to a trilogy..why stop at 3? I mean if a 3rd installment delivers even 3/4ths the results on the same kind of budget (I estimate about $175 million), there's good reason to keep going with the series. Of course, we'd have to get a 3rd film next.

Woot woot, hopefully lots of money for the next post-movie toylines.

I hope they do stick around for the 3rd installment,
I think they deserve the trilogy, but I tend you agree with you.

Bad news for those expecting quality in future film projects.

Doesn't make it less likely, sir.

And video games! They need to start pumping out more TF video games. If that ******ed Italian plumber can get new games every other month then Transformers should get more than they've been giving us.
