He came back. On July 3, 1991, Terminator 2: Judgment Day arrived in theaters as naked as Arnold Schwarzenegger after time travel and came away with the then-biggest five-day opening in box office history. The James Cameron-directed film earned $54 million over its first five days of release, $3 million more than Tim Burton’s Batman grabbed in its first five days back in 1989. Said an anonymous theater owner to the New York Times at the time, “At virtually all our locations, we were selling out well in advance of showings, and the word-of-mouth buzz out there is just phenomenal.” Indeed it was: Terminator 2 went on to gross $204.8 million domestically, and over $500 million worldwide. All of which is to say: Happy anniversary to a cultural touchstone!

All hail Megatron! While Transformers: Dark of the Moon earned “just” $33.5 million on Friday night — 15 percent behind what Revenge of the Fallen grabbed on its first Friday in 2009 — the Michael Bay-directed explosion orgy is on track to bank $185 million through its first seven days. That might be disappointing, until you consider the foreign grosses, which are expected to top $200 million over the same timeframe. The outlook isn’t as rosy for Larry Crowne : the film crashed its moped into fourth place on the chart, and won’t top $20 million for the weekend. Your Friday box office is here.

The last few years have seen Patrick Wilson travel the hero route ( Watchmen ), the villain route ( The A-Team ), the romantic-lead route ( Morning Glory ), the romantic-foil route ( The Switch ), the beset-father route ( Insidious ) and the indie title-character route ( Barry Munday ). The versatile actor takes a road far less traveled in The Ledge , playing a religious zealot from under whose thumb his wife (Liv Tyler) squirms into an affair with the godless heathen next door (Charlie Hunnam). The triangle prompts a stand-off on the titular ledge, where a despondent cop (Terrence Howard) attempts to talk the heathen down. Sound crazy? It is! But in a good way.

In 2007, a dapper young star named Shia LaBeouf appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair next to an interesting caption: “Can Hollywood Turn 21-Year-Old Shia LaBeouf Into the Next Tom Hanks?” Provocative. Of course, LaBeouf’s career shifted from that of a Hanks-ian, potential Oscar nominee to the domain of a de rigueur action star. The youngster may not have followed Vanity Fair ‘s wish list since starring in the first Transformers film, but maybe he scored a more interesting feat — becoming our generation’s Michael J. Fox.

Movieline trivia: We really like Brooklyn Decker ! She’s smart, cool, unpretentious, and now she’s going to add a necessary blast of down-to-earthiness to director Kirk Jones’ What to Expect When You’re Expecting , playing a wife who “sails through her pregnancy with twins, much to the consternation of her friends.” Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez co-star, and I’m looking forward to their consternation. Shine on, Brooklyn! Shine on! [ Deadline ]

With less than a month until Captain America: First Avenger hits theaters, U.S. moviegoers have been pummeled with nearly every variety of Captain America poster and promo art under the shield-shaped sun: the Dunkin’ Donuts-sponsored kind, the violence against Hitler kind, the character kind, the dirt-rain kind, the Herculean jawline kind and, as of Thursday, the international kind. Let’s see how the overseas variety stacks up against a slew of American First Avenger posters.
