Comments on: ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ Crushes The Box-Office With $112 Million; Biggest Opening Weekend Debut of 2009 https://staging2.theplaylist.net/transformers-revenge-of-fallen-crushes-20090628/ Mon, 09 Nov 2020 20:01:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: gabetoro https://staging2.theplaylist.net/transformers-revenge-of-fallen-crushes-20090628/#comment-8140 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 05:16:01 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=7045#comment-8140 Paramount and profitability is such a questionable notion, since all their recent blockbusters have all these back-end deals for other participants. The money is nice, even on top of a $200 million budget and at least $80-100 mil on marketing, but how much of that chunky change is Steven Spielberg and Bay seeing? Bay pocketed $80 mil. after that last film entered profitability, the guy might make $100 million this time.

Jesus christ.

And the excellent Paramount Vantage, all but doesn't exist anymore, sadly.

Right? Silver lining and all that?
