Preorder sales surge for Transformers 2 June 14th, 2009

Fan­dango have released some press about Revenge of the Fallen ticket sales, which makes up approx­i­mately 21% of all movie tick­ets cur­rently being sold by Fandango.

With less than two weeks to go before its June 24 release date, Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen is already see­ing brisk ticket sales on Fan­dango, the nation’s lead­ing movie­goer des­ti­na­tion. Cur­rently, the film rep­re­sents 21% of ticket sales on Fan­dango (as of June 11 at 9 am PT).

Accord­ing to an ongo­ing Fan­dango sur­vey of movie­go­ers plan­ning to see Trans­form­ers 2:

* 81% of respon­dents say Megan Fox is the one star they’re most excited to see in the new movie.
* 76% say they are fans of direc­tor Michael Bay.
* 72% say the IMAX pre­sen­ta­tion of Trans­form­ers 2 will be an impor­tant part of their moviego­ing expe­ri­ence.
* 71% of respon­dents are 18–34 years old; 68% are male.

“Fans are already scoop­ing up tick­ets for Trans­form­ers 2’s open­ing week show­times, espe­cially for the IMAX screens,” says Ted Hong, Chief Mar­ket­ing Offi­cer for Fan­dango. “The movie is gar­ner­ing some great Inter­net buzz, and film­go­ers are clearly ready for another action-packed sum­mer pop­corn movie. With Trans­form­ers 2, Harry Pot­ter and the Half-Blood Prince, Ice Age 3, Pub­lic Ene­mies, Bruno, G.I. Joe and other highly-anticipated movies open­ing within a few weeks of each other, it looks like a ban­ner year for the movies.”

Three more Transformers 2 TV Spots, some Arcee & Ironhide. June 12th, 2009

The two videos we showed you just now are named “Drums” and “Stomp”. Next up are three new Revenge of the Fallen TV spots, pre­sum­ably aimed at kids given their titles and nature.

Let’s roll kids

Team Kids

Lots of new snip­pets in this one:

I’ve also noticed that the pyra­mids are start­ing to look a bit more weird, more arti­facts rotat­ing around them and a gap­ing hole at the top:

Two new Transformers 2 TV Spots (updated) June 12th, 2009

We’ve got two more TV spots for you, I think these are num­bers 9 and 10, named “Drums” and “Stomp”. Updated with higher qual­ity videos.

Drums

Many flashes of new action moments in this TV spot. Includ­ing Prime and his swords, Starscream land­ing at a con­struc­tion yard, a bit more of the Mega­tron vs Prime fisticuffs and an explo­sion with Long Haul in the dis­tance and a wheel fly­ing off him.

Stomp

Opti­mus Prime fires a mis­sile in slow motion:

Transformers 2 video game walkthrough June 12th, 2009

Transformers 2 Wheelie footage now in English June 11th, 2009

The Ger­man dubbed footage of Wheelie attempt­ing to steal from Mikaela and being caught in the act is now avail­able in Eng­lish (with Japan­ese sub­ti­tles). Turns out Wheelie is an incred­i­bly feisty lit­tle robot, I’d imag­ined he’d be quite timid.

First web chat date?
“You’re hot but you ain’t so bright“
“That’s my eye you crazy bitch”

Thanks for the heads up Randy!
