Transformers: Dark of the Moon Official Blu-Ray, DVD Release Date

Mark your calendars as Friday, September 30th is the day that Transformers: Dark of the Moon will be released on Blu-ray and DVD. The information is direct from the official website for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, assuming you are looking at it on a mobile device when it redirects you to a page that says "Own It Friday 9/30 on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital Download." If date sounds familiar that was the date that DVDWorldUSA posted a little over a week ago. The reported editions are "Triple Play" pack of DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Copy, single disc DVD, probably a single disc Blu-ray, and a Tr

Transformers: Dark of the Moon set photographer Robert Zuckerman has posted a large gallery of images from the filming of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. His role is to gather the still images used for help in advertising the movie, for press and related products such as posters, toys and the like. The full gallery of images can be found at Zuckerman's website or at MichaelBay.com.

Amazon France has posted the first look at the Transformers Trilogy Transforming Blu-ray Case that is in the shape of the Autobot logo and comes with Blu-ray editions of all three movies. The listed release date is currently November 2nd, yet another day to add to the theorized listed of release dates for Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Still nothing official from Paramount on when Dark of the Moon is coming to home video. The listed price is EUR 67.19 or around $97.00 US but I expect the first week sale price to be in the $60 to $70 range. (via Seibertron)

More Transformers toys links, most of them focusing on TFC toys. This 3rd party not Transformers creator is quickly becoming the best around with a product line that any G1 fan would love. Other links include a look at Alternity figures, a review of the first TFC toy, and more.Hercules Combined Mode Sneak PeekSpeaking of Hercules, TFC Toys has already revealed a sneak peek at the combined mode of the not Devastator figure. The final result looks very impressive. Enough so that I am seriously considering committing the estimated $600 to buy the six robots needed to create this combined figure.

The Universal Studios Hollywood version of the attraction is expected to open Spring 2011. The "sneak peek" is actually less footage then was teased at the San Diego Comic-Con last month.

Yesterday Michael Bay said that Paramount was working on bringing Transformers: Dark of the Moon back to IMAX theatres and today that has now been officially confirmed. The Hollywood Reporter writes that DOTM will have a limited two week run in 246 North America IMAX theaters from August 26th to September 8th. However, it seems show times might be limited at "the film will play simultaneously with other movies already booked by IMAX." It is an interesting decision that makes me wonder what Paramount is hoping to accomplish with the re-release. My thinking is they are hoping to earn the relati

If DVDWorldUSA is to be believed, the home video release of Transformers: Dark of the Moon will occur on Friday September 30th, 2011. The date is kind of odd because with few exceptions most new releases for movies and music occur on Tuesdays. Previous reports had set the release date of the Blu-ray/DVD release of the movie on Tuesday November 15th, 2011. Also the previous movies had an October release. Transformers 1 was released on October 16th and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on October 20th. Keep in mind that Paramount has not yet released any official information on when the movie

It seems that Transformers: Dark of the Moon may return to theatres or at least to IMAX again according to a post in the Shoot for the Edit forums by Michael Bay. He wrote, "I think they are really considering re-releasing Transformers on IMAX again. From what I heard from Paramount." I am not exactly sure when Paramount would squeeze into the IMAX schedule as the year seems locked up with Contagion (released date 9/9), Real Steel (10/7), Puss in Boots (11/4), Happy Feet Two (11/18), and Mission Impossible 4 (12/21) on the schedule. Often the studios will have contractually set date run for t

Transformers 3 Box Office

Another weekend draws to a close with more added to Transformers: Dark of the Moon coffers. The US total added an estimated $585 thousand for US total of $348.5 million. International sales added $6.1 million for a total of $747 million. The worldwide box office is now $1095.5 million. To move into fourth place on the all time box office total, it will need to earn another $23.6 million to tie Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

While Transformers: Dark of the Moon is winding down its theatrical run, a little of toy related news continues to pop up now and then. Below is the latest, most of it about repaints and the like.FDR Bay-izedThis tongue in cheek poster is an amusing take on what a Michael Bay version of President Roosevelt may be like. At the link is more images (not really Bay related) that places other Presidents in classic movie type settings like George Washington vs. Zombies and Andrew Jackson vs. aliens.More Warren Manser Concept ArtHit the link to look at more images of concept art from Transformers 3

IDW with Issuu has posted the the covers and first five pages of the Transformers #24 which launches the main Chaos storyline. The last few issues that provided a look into the origins of the Cybertronian Civil War with an Autobot government that birthed Megatron and his Decepticons. The result is some of the best Transformers comics created in a long time. Hopefully the Chaos story can live up to that new standard. I think the main thrust of the Chaos storyline is Galvatron's attempt to unite the Transformers to face off against the threat of D-Void from another dimension.Read More »

Transformers: Dark of the Moon's domestic run is coming to a close as it drops out of the US top ten but not before hitting another milestone. The movie, with a $1071.2 million total, is now fifth in the worldwide all-time box office moving past Pirates 4 ($1066.2M) and Toy Story 3 ($1063.2M). The next movie on the list is The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King at $1119.1 million but it is unlikely to pass that total.As for the weekend box office, US side an estimated $1.35M was added for domestic total of $347 million. International sales added another $12.5 million, most of it from Japan

Transformers: The Movie Turns 25 Today

Today is the 25th Anniversary of the release date of Transformers: The Movie, the true first movie for the one of the most successful toy and now movie franchises in the world. While the movie didn't do so hot in theatres, it seems it did just fine in home video sales since the movie keeps getting re-issued. This movie is why most Generation One fans bring up Unicron, proof that Optimus Prime is a bad@$#, and Hot Rod is an idiot among other now iconic aspects of Transformers.Read More »

It seems the theatrical run of the Transformers: Dark of the Moon is soon to end as the movie is on the verge of dropping out of the top 10 after this week but not before passing Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides as 7th on the all-time box office list. The US box officeadded $3.0 million (for $344.1M) while international sales added another $17.5 million (for $693.5M). This puts DOTM's worldwide total at $1038 million. Assuming international sales continue at a decent pace, Dark could pass Toy Story 3 ($1063.2M) and Pirates 3 ($1066.2M) for 5th place on the all-time list in about tw

Update: It seems UK's The Guardian became aware of Frank Welker's unofficial status as Hollywood's top earner. Also The Numbers site has a new chart that breaks down the totals but oddly most are half the size they use to be so not really sure what changed from the chart below to the new one. Still Welker remains top dog at $6.2 billion followed by Samuel L Jackson ($5.2B), Tom Hanks ($4.4B), John Ratzenberger ($3.9B) and Harrison Ford ($3.7B).Flickering Myth discovered an interesting stat on The Numbers.com. Transformers' Frank Welker is the highest grossing movie star ever with a total gros

Transformers #23 Preview

The next issue of the Chaos saga hits comic book stores next Wednesday with Transformers #23. Below is the covers and first five issues of the story. The last issue explored the millions of year long relationship that has developed between Megatron and Optimus Prime revealing that Megatron has started out as a peaceful protestor against the Autobot leadership of the time. After being arrested, unintended encouragment from Prime led him to continue the fight. I assume this issue will explore how Megatron went from nonviolent to deciding that absolute control by any means necessary was the only

Transformers: Dark of the Moon has officially crossed the $1 billion threshold. The movie is the 10th movie ever to cross the threshold and the first movie in Paramount Picture's 99 year existence. The movie crossed the mark Tuesday after international numbers came in. The total breaks down to $338 million from US, $663 million from international sales.DOTM helped add a few other feathers to Paramount's cap. Its $180.7M opening weekend aiding in the studio beating other studios to $1 billion in ticket sales for the year. In addition the studio is also the first to reach $2 billion in worldwid

The Society of Digital Artists website has posted an interesting article with key members of the Digital Domain crew that helped created the visual effects used in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Digital Domain was bought by Michael Bay after the first movie but has a long history working in Hollywood. Much like with Revenge of the Fallen, the company focused on certain characters and scenes while ILM focused on the key Transformers and larger scale effects.The crew help created Brains, Laserbeak and the cannon fodder Decepticon protoforms. Key scenes the crew worked on include "Bird Men" (th

It is a good news/bad news weekend for Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The good news is the movie joined the Top 10 of All Time Worldwide Grosses at the box office. The bad news is Harry Potter 7.2 beat it to the $1 billion club by $20 million. On the brighter side, the movie is practically guaranteed to cross the threshold in just a few short days.The current tally for DOTM stands at $337.9M domestic and $645M from international ticket sales. That number includes $9.5 million from the movie's first weekend in Japan with 82% of those sales coming from IMAX. The international ticket sales thi
