Transformers 2 is making a lot of money, congratulations
The boxoffice year got its first $300 million domestic grosser on Tuesday.
Paramount’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” passed that magical milestone after pushing its U.S. and Canadian coin to $299.8 million on Monday.
That same day, overseas boxoffice topped $300 million. So the Michael Bay blockbuster’s worldwide tally runs north of $600 million.
Daily grosses remain strong as the Shia LaBeouf-Megan Fox starrer approaches its third weekend of global release. But Fox’s 3D animated feature “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” topped the day’s domestic boxoffice on Monday, with $$6.5 million to $6.4 million for the “Transformers” sequel.
Looming competition include a pair of comedies set to open on Friday — Universal’s R-rated Sacha Baron Cohen starrer “Bruno” and Fox’s high-school laugher “I Love You, Beth Cooper,” rated PG-13.
