Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen Takes In $112 Over The Weekend

No big surprises here, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen took in $112 million bringing it’s total in the US to $201.2 million since it’s opening day last Wednesday. It’s also earned another $185 million over seas bringing it’s grand total to $387 million. It could join a handful of movies that have topped the $400 million mark at the box office.

The first Transformers movie brought in a total of $319 million over it’s entire run back in 2007 in the US and $708 million worldwide, I’m betting the sequel will rake in more money by the end of it’s run.

Unfortunately for Cameron Diaz her movie My Sister’s Keeper only did so so debuting at number 5 over the weekend, while Disney and Pixar’s Up knocked Star Trek out of the number one spot, but it’s predicted Transformers 2 will take over as this summer’s number one movie in only a matter of days.

Here’s a look at estimated ticket sales Friday through Sunday according to Hollywood.com:

1. “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” $112 million.

2. “The Proposal,” $18.5 million.

3. “The Hangover,” $17.2 million.

4. “Up,” $13 million.

5. “My Sister’s Keeper,” $12 million.

6. “Year One,” $5.8 million.

7. “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3,” $5.4 million.

8. “Star Trek,” $3.6 million.

9. “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian,” $3.5 million.

Click on the video above to take a first look at Tim Burton’s movie Alice In Wonderland. The movie comes out to theaters in March 2010.

In the movie, Mia Wasikowska plays Alice, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. It looks so cool and I just can’t think of a better person to play the Mad Hatter!

Jennifer Lopez Hard At Work On The Set Of ‘The Backup Plan’

Jennifer Lopez was looking bootylicious while on the set of her latest movie The Backup Plan yesterday. I have to admit I enjoy watching most of her movies, probably because a lot of them are romantic comedies, which I’m a sucker for.

The Backup Plan also happens to be a romantic comedy,  Jennifer plays a woman who conceives twins through artificial insemination, only to meet the man of her dreams on the very same day. It’s due to hit theaters January 2010.

Robert Pattinson & Emilie De Ravin Lock Lips While On The Beach

Robert Pattinson and Emilie De Ravin got hot and heavy while filming a scene from their upcoming movie Remember Me. I wonder how Kristen Stewart feels about her man filming these steamy scenes with another girl.

I guess that’s one of the many perks of being a celebrity, you get to make out with other people and get away with it, while making millions.
