Transformers Freezes Ice Age

And the tie goes to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Box-office returns today showed the giant-robot sequel edging Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, $42.4 million to $41.6 million, for its second straight No. 1 weekend finish.
Yesterday, estimates provided by the franchises' two studios had the films deadlocked at $42.5 million. In the end, Dawn of the Dinosaur's Sunday came up about $1 million short of projections.
"Obviously, the Fourth of July weekend hurt it," said Exhibitor Relations box-office analyst Jeff Bock, who'd expected family business to give Dawn of the Dinosaurs the crown. "It looked like it carried over into Sunday, too."
