Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen;s opening in the UK and Japan last week had brought in big money at the box office over the weekend. In total, the film has made $20m from both territories.
In the UK, Revenge of the Fallen opened on 517 screens, making $14.1million over 3 days, which was 71% more than the first movie and very close to The Dark Knight. This time, it did help that the film opened around the same time as the rest of the world and not on the same day as another blockbuster (The Simpsons Movie opened against Transformers in 2007). Expect the film to easily beaat the $50million made from the first movie. The film has dislodging The Hangover from the top of the UK box office.
In Japan, it made $5.8million showing on 329 screens, which was down on the first film, mainly due to it opening during the school term, but expect it to pick up later in July and August.
Given these already big numbers, expect some more in the coming week, when the film opens in the rest of the world.
