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.
