Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had an estimated take of $16 million from a 3,000 screen midnight run last night reports Variety.
That number is second only to The Dark Knight last Summer which took in $18.5 million from Thursday midnight runs last July. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" previously held the record for a Tuesday midnight run opening with $12 million in 2007.
By this Sunday, 'Fallen' is expected to have a first five-day haul not far off from the $203 million take that 'Knight' scored last Summer.
Reviews have been pretty bad all over
Rotten Tomatoes : The first film had a 57% approval rating and 5.8/10 average score. 'Fallen' however sits at 20% and 3.9/10.
Metacritic: The original scored 61/100, whereas 'Fallen' sits at 40/100.
