Transformers Revenge of the Fallen takes in $20million Overseas

With Transformers Revenge of the Fallen opening up in two major markets that are NOT the US this weekend, we get our first peek at what the boxoffice might shape up as around the followup to Michael Bay’s $400million dollar run of Transformers.

Collider shares:

The sequel took in an initial offering of $20 million from 846 screens in just two territories – Britain and Japan. I know $20 million doesn’t seem like very much so, just to put that number in perspective for you, the #2 movie internationally, “Terminator Salvation”, brought in $18.4 million from 9,400 screens in 74 territories.

So while some people are laughing at the less than impressive $20million take that the big fucking robot movie managed to get, combined with its less than impressive 38% at Rotten Tomatoes (not yet counting professional critic reviews), it is a matter of perspective.

Terminator opened up on more than 10 times the screens, in 37 times as many markets to drag in almost that kind of money.

I tend to suck at these “guess the boxoffice” type games, but I would modestly expect $80million for the weekend. I will probably be realy wrong there.

What is your prediction for this week’s North American release?
