    What makes "Terminator 2"s take so impressive is how many FEWER screens it showed on- about half as many. I remember when this film came out it was almost impossible to see opening weekend. We went around to four different theaters when it came out in '91 (I think?), and EVERY showing was sold out.

    Same as Jurassic Park when that was out.

    Argh, your Sig-Gif, ouch, the poor kiddie!
    But i am really wondering, why noone was there to pull this small kid away from that breakdancer (or was he doing kapoeira?) before ke kicked her.

    No doubt, I was just wondering where he slunk off to. He's probably ripping his hair out somewhere in anguish.

    Phazer is busy right now.

    Watching the movie for the 8th time, probably. He's the kid in the front row, munching loudly on popcorn, clapping and giggling at every scene.

    Is this suprising to everyone? This is about what I expected, 150 million in the first week.

    well if that's true, then if you combine US sales with that, it comes to about $400million dollars all together!

    well it's to bad that transformers is going to pass up T2 as T2 is more deserving of the top spot, but as stated before T2 showed in way less thearters and is also rated R, if transformers was an R movie it probably wouldn't be where it's at today.

    That head design would make a good head for Nemesis Prime/Scourge or Grimlock given the "teeth" look to it.

    Transformers has a battle in front of it. It seems as our fun may be cut short by a teenage wizard =(

    Oh, man. I wonder how much TF will make over the next weekend. Think it'll fare well against Harry Pooter?

    Potter will be number one next week... but TF should still do very well. If Potter has sold out shows, guess where the over flow will end up.

    I bet Transformers will regain the top slot the week after though. I'd also wager Potter wont make the money Transformers made either. I quarter of a billion dollars in 6 days is insane.
