Sharon Waxman, on her official website, reports that scenes for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen were shot in Egypt:
A major milestone quietly passed last weekend: the first major Hollywood film in decades filmed in the heart of the Middle East. Transformers II turned its cameras at the Pyramids in Egypt, and again in the upper Egyptian town of Luxor, near the famed Valley of the Kings. This is significant for many reasons but mainly because it represents a rare move by two Hollywood studios, Paramount and DreamWorks, to connect to a country and culture that is perceived to be hostile the United States.

Unfortunately, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People didn’t do too well in the US box office… I saw the film last weekend and, honestly, found it to be rather dull and mediocre. But Megan was absolutely the bright spot of the film and I would have loved to see so much more of her hilarious Sophie Maes!
Three other pics disappointed out of the gate. Universal’s Flash of Genius, starring Greg Kinnear, made just $2.3 million from 1,098 theaters, helmer Fernando Meirelles’ Blindness took in $2 million from 1,690, while MGM’s How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, starring Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst and Megan Fox, received only $1.4 million from 1,750 theaters.
