ONE-DAY MARKET || FIVE-DAY MARKET

WHILE “PUBLIC ENEMIES” gets the actual July 4 release, let’s face it – this year Independence Day (and its huge receipts) is all about the return of “Transformers.” Just two years after the first installment of the franchise silenced critics with a $70 million release, Director Michael Bay is back with another go-round with orange fireballs and machines that largely turn into GM cars. Given the “Revenge of the Fallen” subtitle, we expect a darker and edgier “Empire Strikes Back” vibe, (in which the bad guys prevail and set up yet another sequel). From the visually stupefying trailer, we also expect “Transformers 2” to set, perhaps, the highest bar ever for action special effects. It will be big, but the Wednesday release makes predicting tricky. Have fun predicting first-day and five-day receipts.
