Transformers Climbs to $339M

Steve Jablonsky's score for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has been dominating my music listening time. In the almost 3 weeks that I've owed it, it has become the second most listened to movie score on my computer, according to my iTunes play counts. It comes in behind only the score from the first Transformers film. Go, go Steve Jablonsky.

The movie slipped to 3rd place after a two week run as the top movie in the country. The new Ice Age maintained its hold on second place, and Bruno dangled his wang all the way to number 1. Imagine that, full-on frontal nudity, apparently a lot of it too, as the number one movie in America... Penis much?

Anyway, money time. Transformers brought in another $24.2M this weekend, bringing its 3 week total to $339.2M. Harry Potter comes out this weekend, which means the numbers will probably take a dip. I plan on tracking this movie until it becomes the lowest critically scored movie to break the $400M mark. Just because that will be awesome. Back to the real world, the movie brought its international take to a stupefying $333.1M, which brings it's global total through 3 weeks to $672.3M. These numbers push Transformers ahead of Angels & Demons as the top grossing movie globally, and it maintains its number 1 spot domestically also. Take that Bruno and your craptacular mockumentaries.

Revenge of the Fallen can also claim:

• Best Wednesday opening ever
• 2nd best opening day ever
• 8th biggest worldwide opening ever
• 5th biggest opening week ever
• 2nd biggest single day gross ever
• Biggest opening weekend in June
• 7th biggest opening weekend in the summer
• Biggest 5-day gross for a movie opening on a Wednesday
• 16th highest grossing movie (domestically) ever

I've recently discovered that I'm utterly fascinated by box office statistics. For those interested, all my statistics come from BoxOfficeMojo.com. I'll likely be back next Monday with another recap as we approach that awesome $400M mark.
