Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen Takes In $112 Over The Weekend
No big surprises here, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen took in $112 million bringing it’s total in the US to $201.2 million since it’s opening day last Wednesday. It’s also earned another $185 million over seas bringing it’s grand total to $387 million. It could join a handful of movies that have topped the $400 million mark at the box office.
The first Transformers movie brought in a total of $319 million over it’s entire run back in 2007 in the US and $708 million worldwide, I’m betting the sequel will rake in more money by the end of it’s run.
Unfortunately for Cameron Diaz her movie My Sister’s Keeper only did so so debuting at number 5 over the weekend, while Disney and Pixar’s Up knocked Star Trek out of the number one spot, but it’s predicted Transformers 2 will take over as this summer’s number one movie in only a matter of days.

1. “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” $112 million.
2. “The Proposal,” $18.5 million.
