'Public Enemies' Takes On 'Transformers'

The period piece Public Enemies could hardly be expected to take on the giant robots and Megan Fox's wicked curves in Transformers, however, it's looking like the Johnny Depp-starring vehicle will be holding its own against the summer action flick.

Although the earmarked-for-an-Oscar-nominated movie isn't expected to bump Revenge of the Fallen out of the top spot, the Michael Mann-directed pic is predicted to nab between $20 to 30 million in its opening weekend.

This would put the movie in third place for the opening weekend, the most impressive for a non-Pirates of the Caribbean movie for Johnny and the best for Mann. Yay! I love when smart movies win.
