Offical 5-Day Opening: $200.1 Million
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen rocketed to a five-day Wednesday-to-Sunday opening north of $200 million — only the second film after The Dark Knight to do that. And it just made another $14.9 million on Monday. In other words, there’s no stopping it — whether or not you liked it (and to be sure, a heck of a lot of people did), Transformers has briefly taken over the world.
At its current pace, it’ll break through the $300 million mark on Sunday — becoming the highest-grossing film of the year after twelve days.
You could see the effect it had on other films out, too. The two comedies targeted at teenage boys — Year One and Land of the Lost — both plummeted by 70% from the week before. (Somewhat surprisingly, The Hangover and Star Trek both had good holds — I guess if you’re good, you’re good.)
It also humorously overpowered the tearjerker My Sister’s Keeper, which made $12 million…a whopping 6% of what Transformers 2 made.
