Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Enters Domestic Top 10

After another weekend haul at the box office, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has entered the all time domestic top 10.

$8.1 million over the weekend saw the film slip from 3rd to 6th with a 41% decline in revenue. The total did however bring the film up to $379,214,172 in it’s home market, just one million off Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and within distance of the magical $400 million barrier.

Another stat to keep you stat fans happy, despite reaching the top 10, Revenge of the Fallen isn’t  even in the top 80 when you take into account inflation.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Passes $700 Million Worldwide

Unsurprisingly, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has now passed the $700 million mark at the box office, having made $703.7 million, and is within touching distance of the first movie’s $708.3 million total.

This is equally impressive when you consider the current economic climate, and the fact that the dollar is worth less in most international territories than 2 years ago.

Domestically, the film made another $24.2 million in its third weekend to reach a total of $339.2 million, passing the $319 million made by the first film. Brüno and Ice Age 3 made larger amounts over the weekend.

Transformers 2 Reigns Supreme over 4th July Weekend

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen beat the deep freeze Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs over the US Independence Day weekend with a $42.4 million total compared to $41.6 million for a very narrow victory.

The weekend box office receipts brought the domestic total to $293,355,885 according to BoxOfficeMojo in just 12 days. The first film took about a month to reach this number, and is now less than $30 million ahead of the all conquering sequel.

The total worldwide box office now stands at $591,355,885, just $115 million from Transformers final total. This figure is also misleading as the international territories don’t include the weekend gross, only count up to 1st July.

Week 2: Domestic Box Office Report

It appears to been another good week for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, with confirmed figures for Monday to Friday and estimates for the Weekend, even though Sunday has barely begun.

This week has seen competition form Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Public Enemies, which cater to very different audiences. The numbers are also expected to be a lot lower due to the 4th July celebrations yesterday, with things picking up next week.

On Friday, Revenge of the Fallen passed Pixar’s Up as the top grossing movie of the year in the US by taking in an estimated domestic total of $268.7 million beating Up’s gross of $261.0 million. Up is yet to be released outside North America.

Ice Age 3 was released on Wednesday, and in the 4 days so far, has made an estimated $43million, compared to Transformers 2, which made just over $40million. Weekend predictions have both films grossing about the same amount.

Check back tomorrow for confirmation on these numbers.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen passes the $200 Million Mark!

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has become only the second film to pass the $200 million point in it’s first 5 days at the North American box office. The other film is The Dark Knight.

Revenge of the Fallen has now made $201,246,000, which is just behind The Dark Knight’s $203,773,518. TDK eventually went on to make over $530m in North America last year.

The film has also taken the rubbish title of “highest-grossing non-holiday, non-Friday opening weekend” ever, as well as largest June opening ever and the biggest Imax weekend ever. Overall, the film stands at $387 million worldwide.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Box Office Review – Week 1

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opened at midnight on Wednesday in North America, and despite the mostly negative reviews, it seemed to make a lot of money in the last 4 days.

$60.6 million was made in its first full day of release on Wednesday, which was wiped the floor with the previous record holder, Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, by $15 million. This total included the $16 million made from the midnight openings.

$28.6 was made on Thursday, bringing the total to just under $90 million.

Friday proved to be another profitable day,with $36.7 million, bringing the new total to over$125 million. This is also the 10th highest Friday total ever, which is again very impressive.

Saturday edged up even higher with $39.5 million To beat the $203.8 million 5 day record set by The Dark Knight last year, the film will have to make $39 million on Sunday, which is an extremely tall order.

The one thing from all of this is that Paramount Pictures, Dreamworks SKG and Hasbro must be very happy.
