  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Michael Bay...

I don't know if "ended up doing great" is the right phrase. I definitely made more money overseas, but I doubt it has broken even yet. The movie cost $190million, the ad campaign added maybe another $75-100M?, the film was $250-300M in the hole before it was even out the gate. Worldwide it has grossed a little over $400 mil ($101 US + $305 international) of which it maybe gets a little over half after the split with theaters? And that big international number is offset by the fact $111M is from China, where the split is more like 80/20 and WB is only taking home $20-$25M. I'd be surprised if WB has taken in $200M off this project. Hardly "doing great," and I'll those "rumors of a sequel" are merely last minute PR spin to get more people into seeing this one.
 
The reliable press organization Onion just reported that Michael Bay has purchased 5 iPhones to shoot the new Transfomer movie.
I guess 120 fps was just enoght for him to make the switch.

Pacific Rim so far has the 8th highest International gross of the year. Not bad for a movie that looked like a total "bomb" when it first came out.

Either way I loved it. Hope they do make a sequel!
