Summer officially ends this weekend as Labor Day signals that kids are going back to school, and that temperatures will begin dropping. This was a big summer for movies, with Harry Potter 7.2, Transformers 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 4 making more than a billion dollars worldwide. Much of the big money titles were franchise starters or sequels, but there were a few surprises. Check out the top ten (sorta) list…

After last weekend’s mammoth, record breaking debut of Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part 2, even with a dramatic fall off Potter will have no problem defeating the competition to stay on top of the box office charts. But it’s still got to face two films: the (hopefully) franchise starting Captain America: The First Avenger and familiar-seeming Friends With Benefits. Captain is going for the comic book geeks, while Benefits is following in the footsteps of a number of successful summer comedies. Check out our predictions……

After last weekend’s solid July 4th box office, Transformers: Dark Of the Moon will look to retain it’s spot on top of the box office, while Kevin James kid flick The Zookeeper, and the Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, comedy Horrible Bosses, and holiday leftovers all compete for box office dominance.
Last weekend Shia Labeouf and CO opened Transformers:Dark Of The Moon to strong box office receipts domestically and internationally. While the sequel didn’t break any box office records for the series it did receive solid cinema score grades, an increase in sales from friday-saturday, and strong weekday grosses. With no real direct completion this weekend, look for Transformers to hang on to the #1 spot.

The kingpin of blockbusters debuted last week to ridiculous numbers. Michael Bay‘s Transformers: Dark of the Moon now has the highest opening weekend of 2011, a title that previously belonged to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. But despite the big numbers, the latest installment didn’t do as well as 2009′s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which made $108.9 million during its opening weekend. Much to our speculation, Universal’s new film Larry Crowne came in at No. 4 with a poor opening of $13 million. And Fox’s new chick flick Monte Carlo came in at No. 6 with $7.6 million.

After the second film – which star Shia LaBeouf and director Michael Bay have publicly apologized for -there was hope that Transformers: Dark of the Moon would settle Michael Bay down, and give him a better story to tell. Working with 3-D, his hyper-editing style wouldn’t work in the format, and there would be no “afterthought” Imax scenes. There would also be no writer’s strike, so the script could be written in a more timely and coherent fashion. And though Michael Bay does action on a scale that is unmatached in the industry, it’s pretty much the same movie, except this time on Ritalin. Find out more below…

UPDATE: We’ve heard from people who’ve seen the film and were told that the twins do not appear in the final cut.
Remember the robots in Transformers 2? The ones that most people thought were racist? The ones Michael Bay said wouldn’t be in Transformers 3, aka Transformers: Dark of the Moon? Well – according to the voice of Skids – the duo were to appear in the third film. Check out the full quotes after the jump…

For the July 1 release of Transformers: Dark (Side) of the Moon, it’s been interesting to see the returning cast and crew go on an apology tour. Star Shia LaBeouf has said he knows the film sucked, and Michael Bay has made similar comments. Which is funny in that the second film made over $400 Million domestic, and does have a number of apologists. But for the third film – which stars LaBeouf along side Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Malkovich, and Megan Fox replacement Rosie Huntington-Whiteley – they’ve said they’re going back to basics. The new stills suggest more of the same. Check ‘em out…

During the Super Bowl TV spot for Transformers Dark of the Moon, we all noticed a newly revamped Optimus Prime. He was bigger, he had wings, and not one, but two swords. The image of him slicing and dicing was awesome and guess what? He’s not the only Prime out there. There’s a new Transformers character named Sentinel Prime, he’s from the same family as Optimus but he’s a different kind of animal. Empire Magazine has the first look at the Autobot side by side with his Prime protege. Take a look…
