A screen grab from Michael Bay's 2005 film The Island, which we can compare with his new film Transformers 3 (below)   <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/03/article-2010714-0CD808CA00000578-739_634x309.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A screen grab from Michael Bay's 2011 film Transformers [3]: Dark Side of the Moon   The scenes in question involve a  high-speed car chase, and do show a high degree of similarity through  several sequences, in terms of car placement, damage from impacts and  flying debris, including a tire.In Transformers 3, the film's large robots are shown crashing into the cars. They might have been digitally superimposed through CGI (computer generated imagery) on the earlier footage in post processing. In fact, according to HD Room,  because Transformers 3 was shot in 3D, the original scenes would have  had to have been converted post-production. Movie blog Slash Film has pointed out that Mr Bay seemed to have recycled footage from his films before. The  site has linked to a YouTube video that shows what appears to be the  reuse of a brief clip of warships from his 2001 film Pearl Harbor in the  original Transformers movie, released in 2007. Presumably,  a director would have to get permission from the studio that owns the  footage in order to reuse it, even if it were modified. It's unclear if  that was the case here. According to the IB Times, Transformers 3 has earned $98 million since its  release on Tuesday. In contrast, The Island was substantially less successful.  <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/03/article-2010714-0CD808B600000578-376_634x286.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Experts point out that it would be possible to  superimpose CGI effects of Transformers robots over earlier footage of a  car crash. Pictured: Scene from The Island  <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/03/article-2010714-0CD808B600000578-815_634x286.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Pictured: A scene from Transformers 3. Is this the same footage, with new digital effects?  <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/03/article-2010714-0CD808B200000578-412_634x286.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Another screen shot from the 2005 film The Island   <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/03/article-2010714-0CD808B200000578-295_634x286.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A similarly composed shot from Transformers 3 in 2011That 2005 film, which starred  Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, cost $126million to produce but  earned only $36 million at the United States box office. It earned  $127million overseas, for a worldwide total of $162million. On  its opening day Wednesday, Transformers 3 grossed $37.3million, making  it the best opening-day gross of 2011 and the sixth best Wednesday  opening of all time.Despite its solid numbers, the film has disappointed some observers, who expected even bigger numbers.The second Transformers film, Revenge of the Fallen, grossed $62million on its opening day.Transformers:  Dark Side of the Moon made $32.9million on Friday, while 2009's Revenge  of the Fallen made $36.7million on its first Friday. Some  60 per cent of Dark Side of the Moon's revenue came from 3-D ticket  sales, which is impressive because sales in that format have been  sliding. Transformers 3 was produced by Steven Spielberg and is presented in regular 2D, Real D 3D and IMAX.It  stars Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro, Tyrese Gibson, Rosie  Huntington-Whiteley, Patrick Dempsey and John Malkovich.The CGI robots are voiced by Peter Cullen, Leonard Nimoy, Hugo Weaving and others.  <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/03/article-2010714-0CD808AA00000578-516_634x286.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A car gets smashed in The Island  <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/03/article-2010714-0CD808AA00000578-977_634x286.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A car gets smashed in Transformers 3The film had raised some  eyebrows after Megan Fox was replaced in the third instalment, after  star turns in the first two pictures. Ms  Fox was reportedly fired by Steven Spielberg after she allegedly  compared working under director Mr Bay to working for Hitler.Filming  of Transformers 3 was marred by one serious accident on September 2,  2010 in Hammond, Indiana, when an extra suffered a head injury during a  stunt. According to reports, a steel cable snapped from a car being towed, hitting extra Gabriella Cedillo's car.    <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/03/article-2010714-0CD8089200000578-414_634x286.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A frame of a wrecking car in The Island  <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/03/article-2010714-0CD8089200000578-423_634x286.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A frame of a wrecking car in Transformers 3Ms Cedillo suffered a head  injury and underwent brain surgery, but is said to be permanently  brain-damaged and paralyzed on her left side.The  accident was allegedly due to a failed weld.
