Still taking into consideration how 'profitable' Transmurfers 2: Flop of the Fallen was do you think it is highly plausible
that this G.I. Joe incarnation will be more profitable than the other flop of twisted metal and crappy shitty dialogue?

I'm slightly optimistic because my opinions are so low of the film that I won't be disappointed and plus I'm seeing two
flicks for the price of one at the drive in tomorrow evening so not a complete loss.

I went in slightly critical of Abrams Star Trek and that was a positive experience it was a whole lot more damn decent
than Lucas' shitty attempt at the pile of erroneous crap that was episodes 1 through 3.

This thread couldn't be any more wrong. Transformers 2 is #9 all time in domestic box office. There is no definition that ends in it being a flop at all. I would bet literally every dollar in the world that G.I. Joe doesn't beat Transformers 2. There is no fucking way on earth that will happen.

In before the I told you sos of either side.

That said, if we were to go by past evidence it's likely Transformers won't be beaten.
 

I think it'll do well. Very well, in fact. But it won't rake in TF2 numbers. It certainly couldn't be a worse movie, in terms of quality.

We had a midnight showing for G.I. Joe tonight and it sold a grand total of 98 tickets. To put it bluntly, that is fucking atrocious.

Thing is, Transformers 2 was already the "BIG MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!" and Transformers 2 built on that, getting even more sales.

G.I. Joe? Nobody's gonna give a @#$% about that movie. It looks terrible. That, on top of how it's not "THE BIG MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!" either.

If anything, I'd put money on GI Joe flopping horribly.
Domestically, it might make a decent coin, though it'll get nowhere near TF2. Globally, I'm pretty sure GI Joe will seriously underwhelm. The movie - and the PR - seem completely geared to middle US, not the world.

Though I believe there's a greater chance that my penis will suddenly become 17 inches longer overnight than G.I.Joe has of beating Transformers in the box office, I'm still pretty stoked to see it if for nothing more than seeing if it could be anywhere near the God awful train wreck of misery Transformers was.

I've heard G.I. Joe is actually a fun movie, dumb, but fun and full of action, unlike Transformers 2 which was BOOOMBLARGRUN!PACHOW!STUPID!RACIST!WAAAARBLGGGGG!

I think in comparison, Catwoman was a better movie than TF2.

Oh, that's right. I said it.

Which is strange, considering that they went and made the Joes an international fighting....squad, instead of one based in the U.S., specifically to appeal to the global market.

That's not really going out on a limb thing there. Despite it's terrible script and acting and everything, Catwoman had a coherent plot and scenes where you didn't want to kill yourself.

TF2's "opening weekend" started on a Tuesday. If you want to do a fair apples to apples comparison, you need to see how it did Tues/Wed/Thurs vs other movies.

The only real way to compare those mid-week release movies with traditional Fri release movies is total. Day 1(wed) and Day 1(fri) are going to be a lot different. Day 6(Wed) and Day 1(Wed) are equally incomparable.

The success of Transformers 2 has solidified Michael Bay as the go to guy in Hollywood when you want to bring in a fat bank role. Now if he could reboot the Star Wars franchise with Shia playing Luke the financial intake would single handedly end the recession.

Keeping in mind, the Michael Bay Death Star explosion would blind the audience.

Remember how he got permission to film around the pyramids? He would ask to blow up a real moon. One of those tiny ones around Saturn or Jupiter.

So you're saying Michael Bay is Cobra Commander?

You're wrong. I haven't seen it yet, but you're just wrong. This movie has destroyed my childhood. I hate you for allowing $wood to justify putting out this crap.

P.S. Fuck you

I'm pretty much completely indifferent to the movie itself. What is interesting to me about it was this.

EDIT: Although if someone went to a theater playing both G.I. Joe and The Hurt Locker and bought a ticket for G.I. Joe, it's unlikely that we could be friends.

No no no. The guy who plays Indiana Jones is also Han Solo.
