The bad news for Michael Bay is that some people think Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen features racially insensitive robots. The good news is a lot of people are judging for themselves.
The filmmaker's rock 'em, sock 'em sequel grossed an estimated $60 million yesterday. The staggering take is Hollywood's second-biggest for an opening day after The Dark Knight's $67.2 million haul from last year.
Revenge of the Fallen kicked off its fat Wednesday with $16 million from midnight screenings. The movie is projected to gross at least $165 million by the end of the weekend. And to start a couple of good arguments, too.
