Transformers Sequel Hits $300 Million
Industrial Light and Magic/ DreamWorks Pictures
It may suck the big robot when it comes to the reviews, but the Transformers sequel is also sucking in some serious bank.
After 14 days in theaters, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has hit the $300 million mark in U.S. ticket sales—second only to last summer's The Dark Knight, which went on to become the second-biggest grossing film of all time behind 1997's Titanic.
By way of comparison, 2007's original Autobots-vs.-Decepticons battle raked in $319.2 million during its entire domestic theatrical run, and $700 million worldwide.
Since its June 24 release, the very noisy Revenge of the Fallen, starring Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, has grossed $600 million internationally, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com. About 8 percent of the total comes from Imax screenings.
Guess you could say demolition-happy director Michael Bay has really gotten a buck for his bang.
