Transformers 2 Storms Into Theatres With Record Opening

Transformers 2


Variety reports that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had a massive first day opening of $60.6 million. It was the best opening day ever for a Wednesday release. It was the second best opening day - only The Dark Knight's $67.2 million opening is higher.
Previous record-holder was "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which grossed $44.2 million when opening on a Wednesday in July 2007.

"Transformer 2's" opening day haul also is the second best of all time after "The Dark Knight," which grossed $67.2 million on its first day in release (a Friday).
The big opening day for Transformers 2 was helped by strong midnight showings. The film made $16 million from the midnight shows. Transformers 2 is playing in over 4,200 theatres so this gives it a good shot according to Variety of surpassing the $152.4 million earned by Spider-Man 2 in its first five days.

Stephen Colbert Meets Spider-man

Image of Stephen Colbert as a comic book character


Stephen Colbert will join forces with Spider-man to save the world.
Colbert, the master parodist of Comedy Central, shares an eight-page adventure with the world-famous web-slinger in issue No. 573 of "The Amazing Spider-Man," on sale Oct. 15. The folks at Marvel sent over a page from the story and while I can't quite tell what's going on, it's pretty clear that Colbert actually takes to the rooftops of Manhattan with the arachnid hero.

Colbert and his name have been popping up a lot in Marvel pages lately (perhaps too much, actually), following the January announcement by the company's editor-in-chief Joe Quesada that Colbert's faux campaign for president in our world would be mirrored by a genuine bid for the White House within the Marvel universe. The references have been scattered in different issues (a cameo here, a campaign poster there, some T-shirts, etc.) but nothing quite as dramatic as this.
This is a dream come true for Colbert, no question. To actually swing with Spider-man, well, it doesn't get any better than that for a true fanboy.
