DOTM Will Probably Fall to 5th (Updated)

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is the 4th highest grossing movie of all-time, but it might not stay there for long. The Avengers, which has grossed $642 million, is quickly closing in on the top grossing movies and has shattered the domestic opening weekend record, previously held by the last Harry Potter film. If (and most likely when) The Avengers passes up TF3, it will fall to 5th on the all-time list, which is still a very big achievement. We all knew this day would come. DOTM can't hold fourth forever.

In other news, if you would like to get your hands on the Takara version of DOTM Autobot Que, robotkingdom.com has a preorder listing for it. Note that this is not the cancelled Hasbro version of the toy.
Update: Robot Kingdom has confirmed that it is the Hasbro version, not Takara.

  1. yeah we all knew this day would come, but why so soon and why to this movie? the thing that makes me so mad is that this film's action plays out similar to DOTM's, but this movie gets all the praise while DOTM gets "loud and noisy". I really don't like the critics. its like they plan what movies they want to like and what movies they want to hate. the critics hate Michael Bay and the TF films. Hopefully Michael Bay can make come back and trash this film with story and action in TF4! if the avengers pass avatar, Cameron and Bay NEED to work together to make TF4 and Avatar 2. Bay NEEDS to bring Cameron over to the TF films, and Cameron needs bring Bay's action over into Avatar. Right now I don't think it's fair that The Avengers is doing this well. The action play's out like DOTM's, yet DOTM got all off the criticism and The Avengers gets all of the praise. I mean I get the story part, but to me even the story of DOTM was fun and mysterious. The Avengers is plain and simple. When Michael Bay has a plain and simple story, it's dumb, but when Wheldon does, it's so fantastic. So to sum it up, I'm pissed and I want Bay & Cameron to make TF4 and Avatar 2 together and trash The Avengers!

  2. also the only reason it's doing do well, is because it's had plenty of other films to build up to this, where TF has only had two other films and it's second one wasn't the charm to most. also the avengers was released LAST MONTH in foreign countries, that's the only reason why it's doing so well in foreign countries. they've had more time to see the movie.
    (BTW, I'm sorry if it seems like I'm getting mad at you. LOL I'm not mad at you for posting this, I'm just really mad about this whole thing. I was gonna post this but then I was like ya know what this is total bull!)

  3. Even TF fans at TFW say it's better than DOTM :(
    Michael Bay needs to put all he can into making the second TF trilogy! The stories connect together fluently (from what we've heard) so hopefully the story will shake the critics until they say it was atleast decent. Bay really needs to blow his OWN mind with TF4!

    1. oh well im sorry for saying all that "trash the avengers" stuff. and we all have our own opinions and i respect yours and am happy you still like transformers. i guess i just realized that transformers isn't going to be better than everything, and there will be other acton flix better than it. and i like Marvel too I just like TF better. I'm excited for the new Spider Man movie! I can't wait actually!

  5. hahaha MegaPrime. I enjoy reading your comments on stuff. You say something, wait a couple minutes and then reply to yourself. :) I actually enjoyed the Avengers as much as DOTM, but yea it is annoying that the critics gave all the praise to the Avengers and barely any to TF3.
