By this point the original Transformers had pulled in $212.3 million, while the second of the feature films Revenge of the Fallen had pulled in an almighty $293.4 million.
The film beat its nearest competitor, comedy Horrible Bosses by nearly $20 million, after it came in second place grossing a total of $28.1 million.
