Michael Bay’s Box Office Chart

Posted by michaeljoejackson On June - 27 - 2009

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has crossed even the wildest expectations of its makers and fans in terms of box office gross. It made a jaw-dropping $60.6 million in it’s first day alone, and has grossed $170 million in total so far (it’s been playing in US theaters for only three days!). The guys over at MovieFill have published an interesting chart comparing the budgets for Bay’s last seven movies, their box office gross and their opening weekend gross. The chart suggests that the larger the budget for a Michael Bay movie, the larger is it’s box office gross. But notice how much steeper the red line is compared to the yellow line. That suggests increasing Bay’s budget by a small amount results in a dramatically increased total gross. Are the studios taking note?
