Top Story: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen took in $55 million on the first day of its US release to become the biggest Wednesday opener of all time.

In Other News: If you didn’t waste your money on Transformers 2 and live in New York City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis or Dallas, you now have another option for throwing that cash away. Warner Bros. will have a limited theatrical roll-out of Zack Snyder’s Watchmen: The Director’s Cut. This version will include another 25 minutes of footage. (THR)
Following his success in The Proposal, Ryan Reynolds has joined a project that is neither a romance or a comedy. He’ll star in Buried, a film about a civilian contractor who is trapped in a coffin somewhere in the Iraqi desert. (Variety)
