1 year ago
In a record that puts close to a tie with the ‘Harry Potter’ series, Paramount Pictures have announced ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ has grossed a stunning $1-billion in box office sales.
Becoming only the third film this year to achieve such a feat, ‘Transformers’ earned $338-million in the US up to last Monday, and $663-million in the rest of the world.
It’s also the first movie in the studio’s 99-year history to score the mystical $1-billion gross.

It was expected to be the blockbuster hit of the summer, and it’s looking like it’ll live up to those expectations but fall short of its prequel.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (otherwise affectionately known as Transformers 3) wrapped up a $37.3 million pay day Wednesday, including an additional $5.5 million on early sneak peaks on Tuesday. This gives the Michael Bay flick the top opening day trophy for 2011 — just outpacing previous holder Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which debuted to $34.8 million, including $4.7 million in midnights, on a Friday.

Megan Fox Quit Transformers 3 Over Weight Issues?
3 years ago
Depending on whom you believe, Megan Fox either quit Paramount’s Transformers 3 project, which was to begin production this month, or the studio decided not to pick up her option. Maybe there’s a little of both going on here, but only a few parties know the truth of which came first.
Now considering that Fox said all sorts of negative things about Transformers director Michael Bay, including comparing him to Hitler during a magazine interview in 2009, it wouldn’t be surprising if he and Paramount changed their mind and went with another star.

Megan Fox Not Hot Enough for Transformers 3?
3 years ago
Yesterday I went on at length about how hot Megan Fox is, despite her really weird OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) issues. Like hating germs but being a slob. But it looks like director Michael Bay doesn’t think she’s all that and won’t have her reprising her role as Shia LaBeouf’s character’s love interest, Mikaela Barnes, on Transformers 3.
