Transformers Over $200 Million In Just 5 Days

Paramount’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen powered its way to an amazing estimated total of $201.24 million over its first five days. The new Transformers film, which has also earned an outstanding $187 million overseas, pushed the box office total a solid 9% over the same weekend last year when Pixar’s Wall-E debuted to $63 million. Transformers’ three-day total of $112 million is the seventh best 3-day opening of all time and the best ever for a film that didn’t open on Friday. Its five-day total trails only The Dark Knight’s total of $203.8 million. Its $60.6 million Wednesday opening, aided by $16 million in after midnight openings, was the second biggest opening day ever, bested only by TDK’s $67.2 million.
