Box Office Report: Transformers 2 Hits $201 Million in 5 Days

After five days of release Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen became the second film in history to make $2oo million in five days. Of course, the first film being last summers The Dark Knight which made $203 million in the same amount of time. These numbers are so close that we won’t know the exact figure until tomorrow morning. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Transformers numbers dropped a little because I am sure that Paramount has embellished their numbers just a tad. They want to compete with The Dark Knight, and what better way to do so then making $200 million in five days. If you have been following our box office tracking reports we shared with you the huge opening day that Transformers 2 had with $60 million on opening day.

On Thursday the film made a strong $28 million and from Friday to Sunday it pulled in a whopping $112 million. That gave it a grand total of $201 million after five days of release. That is higher than most expectations. I don’t think most people figured it would give The Dark Kight quite a run for it’s money. The numbers for Transformers 2 are significantly higher than the original film which made $70 million its opening weekend.

We all knew this would be the film to beat this summer and it certainly looks like Transformers 2 held up to it’s hype. I am curious to see how the movie will hold up in the coming weeks. This Wednesday it will face some competition from Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Johnny Depp in Public Enemies. Revenge of the Fallen should remain strong until Harry Potter 6 drops in the middle of July.
