Transformers 2 on June 24th

Paramount Pictures has announced that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be hitting theaters a little earlier than expected. The release date of the Michael Bay sequel has been moved from Friday June 26th to Wednesday June 24th. The change is effective for both IMAX and conventional movie theater releases.

  • Zachy
    someone leak the damn trailer.
  • Is that still coming out with Friday the 13th?
  • the inglourious basterds trailer and the transformers trailer?! i may have to check this flick out just for the previews! even though i have seen IB online.
  • Zachy
    someone. please. leak the damn trailer... we all must see it's precious glory that awaits.
  • Yeah I know! We have never seen CGI transforming robots fighting! We just gotta get a first glimpse! Meh, I hope this is good but its Michael Bay.
  • Palmer
    In what way is it effective?
  • Good! Let's get this rubbish over and out of the way as soon as possible.
  • This is good news for fans, I guess. Though I wonder what the point is? Ensuring a number 1 box office for that week/end? I'd think it'd almost be a given, wouldn't it? Even the TF2:RotF Bay haters would have to concede that fact.
  • what else is even coming out that weekend?
  • optimusprime
    From what I heard, nothing really.
  • just to be able to post up bigger numbers.

    you are right. their only competition is coming from themselves.
  • optimusprime
    I'm sure they are going to have midnight showings before June 24th.
  • yay! for me it will be three days cause our movies open on a day before the us always...
  • Cat
    Comes out early? Of course that's great news we get to see it early! Awesome!
  • Maybe they think they can get the same numbers as TDK?
  • starscream9289
    Why can't they do this with Watchmen, too? Why can't it come out next week?!?!?!
  • I CONCUR.

    the wait is killing me.
  • chino
    what a great birthday its gonna be for me now...celebrating the big 22 and watching tranformers 2 and then getting sh*tfaced
  • lettuce
    its my birthday too. cheers!
  • Awesome, it's coming 48 hours sooner.
  • I think the studio's have picked up on the frenzy that the Superbowl ad generated AND the discussions on these boards. I think they just want to get the film out there whilst interest is at a peak.

    Probably also banking on the fact that Star Trek is out only a month before and wanting to ride the wave of interest that'll generate.

    It's spectacle theatre, let's just enjoy it for what it is! Personally, I'm so pleased that the current trend in cinema IS for the sci-fi / geek audience - and that's it's being treated with a degree of respect for the genre AND the fans (despite the moaning of the G1 adherents).

    Bar, Orci et al are doing a good job with, let's face it, a toy franchise. It ain't great cinema, but it's great fun. Enjoy the ride!
  • I wonder why they moved the date just two day?
  • Yeah thats good news !
  • Mavita
    NO! It was suppose to be on my birthday.
  • hahah yah almost, my bdays on the 25th.

    snap.

    An obvious attempt to pad the box office numbers. I hate when they do that and then say: "The biggest opening weekend EVAR..."
