Transformers 2 Makes $200 Million in Just Five Days
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is already a huge summer blockbuster after just five days in theatres. The film made over $201 million in its first five days which put it just shy of The Dark Knight's record 5-day take of $203.8 million. Sandra Bullock's romantic comedy, The Proposal, fell to #2, but made another $18 million. In third, was the long-lasting Hangover, which brought in $17 million to increase its surprising box office tally to over $183 million.
Up came in fourth and made another $13 million. Up has now passed Star Trek as the top grossing film of 2009 to date. However, Up will likely soon be giving up the lead to Transformers 2. My Sister's Keeper - which stars Cameron Diaz in a moving drama based on a Jodi Picoult novel - debuted in fifth place. You can see the weekend box office chart here.
Public Enemies and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs will try to oust Transformers 2 from the #1 slot over the July 4th holiday weekend.
