TRANSFORMERS REVENGE OF THE FALLEN MAKES $39.5 MILLION USD ON SATURDAY!

Let the good times roll..

From DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com

Sources tell me Paramount's Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen is looking like it took in $39.5 Saturday and $36.7M Friday from 4,234 theaters. The studio is now estimating its 3-day weekend cume is bigger than expected: $115M vs $90M previously anticipated despite lousy reviews. But execs say the robot sequel will "only" get to $200M for the 5-day opening total. Which means the rock'em, sock'em pic isn't expected to gun down the 5-day opening record of $203.8M set by last summer's The Dark Knight.

With exit polls showing a 91% of audiences enjoying  "this movie as much or better than the first". It looks like Paramount is going to make a killing on TF2. It's going to be interesting to watch the midweek numbers as we go into the July 4th weekend.
