... it or the first one.  The visuals of the trailers tempt me, and I did see DPIMP, ARMAG, "What dreams may come," the first three XMEN films and "Independence Day" on visual values alone.  

All to say I can't imagine that many people who will see it in theatres have not already seen it once; if you accept this idea, then the question becomes is TFRM2 like other bad tentpoles like "Van Helsing," or failed tentpoles like "Watchmen," or will it be able to support second+ visits.  

Have you read any reports of second viewings?

My guess is $385 million. I think this is going to drop quickly with all the competition out there in July. {nm} Movie Cub Jun 28, 14:13

its not a very good movie, but it does provide a few easy thrills so i 'll say 412.50 {nm} islander Jun 28, 14:37

no offense, but its people like you that is what is wrong with this country. people who want something more are "just plain stupid"? wth??? islander Jun 28, 16:55

you said "dude" {nm} RazorHawk Jun 28, 17:20

first of all, how the h*ll could that not be taken as offensive? second, when it comes to movies, peoples likes and dislikes don't really LuCiFeR Jun 28, 18:37

Didn't you hate Wall-E? {nm} Qale Jun 28, 19:08

you mean since I didnt like wall-e, I'm whats wrong with this country? lol {nm} islander Jun 28, 19:21

It actually does have a story line, M.Bay did impeccable research into the movie, and deserves credit ***minor spoiler alert**** ConrocK Jun 29, 01:09

Would you concede that "Iron Man," "Spider-Man" or "Spider-Man 2" or "The Dark Knight" or the LOTR films might lead someone to hope for... second gary Jun 28, 17:28

i loved ironman and spiderman. thought the 2 sequels(spiderman2 and dark knight) were good, but i had mild issues with both. well, more with LuCiFeR Jun 28, 18:25

No, those who don't expect more are settling for being pandered to. There's no reason why a movie can't be a lot of fun AND high quality. {nm} Cuzzin Todd Jun 29, 10:30

I have a hard time seeing it missing 400M over the total run. shadowking Jun 28, 17:57

A little over 400M Only needs a 2X from 5 day, July 4th should help out 2nd weekend drop. {nm} JackO Jun 28, 18:02
