Transformers: Dark of the Moon Breaks July 4 Record, Hits $116M Over Four Day Weekend

Michael Bay ‘s juggernaut of a sequel Transformers: Dark of the Moon didn’t just spank Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts at the box office; it handily seized the title of the biggest domestic July 4 opener of all time from previous champ Spider-Man 2 and should hit $116.4M over the four-day weekend for a $181.1M domestic take. On top of that, Transformers 3 is performing even better overseas than in the U.S. of A. — and it has yet to open in Transformers -loving Japan. Bow to our robot overlords!

Transformers: Dark of the Moon Opens to Solid — Not Great — Early Crowds

Transformers: Dark of the Moon opened to a solid $13.5 million from its late Tuesday /early Wednesday screenings, including $5.5 million from the 3-D-only presentations leading the way Tuesday night. The figures exceed the early grosses from the series’ 2007 original but fall short of the $16 million that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen pulled down at midnight in 2009. Paramount currently anticipates a six-day holiday weekend tally above $160 million; drop back by Movieline tomorrow for our own Weekend Forecast predictions, which will be significantly higher.
