Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon is poised for a massive Fourth-of-July weekend that should earn the film over $170 million by Monday night. Regardless of what critics may think of his movies, the audience has made them number one at the box office all but once on their opening weekend, raising his personal totals to over $3.5 billion in worldwide revenue. The quintessential “peoples” director, Bay makes movies that are tailor made for the summer movie season: big, loud, brash and over-the-top and audiences can’t seem to get enough.
As his new film is already breaking box office records, we thought it’d be a good time to look back at his past successes and awe over one of the most impressive commercial moviemaking resume’s in Hollywood history.
