Filmdrunk —
Despite pretty much universally poor reviews (The Guardian described it as “like watching paint dry while getting hit over the head with a frying pan”), Michael Bay’s Transformers sequel earned $55 million in a single day. On a Wednesday. For comparison, consider that Watchmen made $55.7 mil in its entire first weekend.

Transformers 2 Breaks Wednesday Release Record with $55 Million
/Film —
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has scored the best opening day ever for a Wednesday release, with an estimated $55 million domestically. The previous record-holder was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which grossed $44.2 million on a Wednesday in July 2007. The $55 million includes a confirmed $16 million from midnight shows, the third largest overnight numbers of all time behind only The Dark Knight ($18.5 million) and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith ($16.9 million).
The film could earn anywhere between $150-$170 million by Monday morning. That ...

... atrocious, yesterday had the highest ever Wednesday opening for a film. By early estimates, the robot punch-'em-up grossed $60.6 million, besting the previous record, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix's $44.2 million, by a wide margin, and coming within $7 million of The Dark Knight's highest all-time opening.
Just goes to show that... making a ridiculous movie based on a cartoon made to sell toys, and then making an even stupider sequel to that movie, is a good business plan? I don't know what it goes to show. Something depressing.
