David Tuckerman Bay Quotations

(Producer) Michael Bay has done something that is rarely if ever done and that is remake a classic and turn the remake into a classic. We have a shot to get into the $80 millions. It cost $9.5 million to make. I imagine this will be the (year's) most profitable movie vis-a-vis what it cost to make.

The budget on the film was $9.5 million and we grossed the budget the first night. This is the first Platinum Dunes (film) Michael Bay has done (in his production deal at New Line) and he delivered in spectacular fashion. And the marketing was terrific.
