Now fast forward to 2009 and they release Transformers 2 in July expecting it to be another event film and expecting it to last way into August into September..(as did Transformers)...yet....wait for it....... they released GI JOE in August? So you are incorrect in assuming Paramount knows what they are doing! All indication prior to the release is that Transformers 2 would be just as popular and huge as the first film.
So where is the logic in Paramount's thinking there? As you put it Paramount would "Never" compete with itself. To have your own movies leeching money from each other would be pretty freaking stupid.
Seems less like a fact and more like an opinion to me.
Did you miss that part where most movies make the bulk of their money in the first two weeks? If TF2 had "played into August and September" (and to an extent, it has, in fact it's made MORE than Transformers 1), it wouldn't be leeching off of G.I. Joe, because by that point the only people going to see it are hardcore repeat-viewers and people who like to wait to see the movies after the crowds have thinned out, anyway (which just means that they'll end up seeing G.I. Joe a month later, too, if they're interested).
Heck, if you look at the numbers, TF2 is performing BETTER than Transformers 1. It made 3 million in its 7th weekend compared to under 2 million for Transformers 1. Better luck with your comparisons next time.

All released in August all proving you very very wrong!
Hell even American Pie 2 made damn near close to that brining in 287 million.
Now run the domestic figures, because that's what I was talking about in the first place.
