TRANSFORMERS 3: BIGGEST MOVIE OF 2011

July 12, 2011 by · 5 Comments 


Transformers: Dark of the Moon officially became the top movie at the box office this year when it earned an additional $47.1 million in its second weekend to bring its domestic total to $261.1 million. It thereby replaced The Hangover: Part II in the top spot. Two other new — and relatively low-cost — films also had solid performances. Horrible Bosses opened with $28.3 million, while Zookeeper debuted with $20.1 million. Nevertheless, those grosses weren’t nearly enough to prevent the overall box office from declining about 19 percent from the same weekend a year ago when Despicable Me debuted with $56.4 million

The top ten films over the weekend, according to final figures compiled by Box Office Mojo (figures in parentheses represent total gross to date):
1. Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Paramount, $47,103,276, 2 Wks. ($261,078,700); 2. Horrible Bosses, Warner Bros., $28,302,165, (New); 3. Zookeeper, Sony, $20,065,617, (New); 4. Cars 2, Disney/Pixar, $15,212,015, 3 Wks. ($148,831,530); 5. Bad Teacher, Sony, $8,914,412, 3 Wks. ($78,671,819); 6. Larry Crowne, Universal, $5,936,405, 2 Wks. ($26,197,690); 7. Super 8, Paramount, $4,838,205, 5 Wks. ($118,069,545); 8. Monte Carlo, 20th Century Fox, $3,800,604, 2 Wks. ($16,125,507); 9. Mr. Popper’s Penguins, 20th Century Fox, $3,154,435, 4 Wks. ($58,051,209); 10. Green Lantern, Warner Bros., $3,147,225, 4 Wks. ($109,731,181)

    And New York recently recorded the hottest day of 2011 and the summer has only just begun.

    Harry Potter will almost certainly replace Terminator as the biggest movie of the year next weekend.

    Terminator? :)

    HP8 will certainly win this coming weekend, but it will not out gross TF3 domestically. HP movies have a very hard time pulling in more than 300 million domestically, while the other TF movies passed that easily and TF will very soon. HP8 may gross more world wide, though, but TF3 broke TONS of box office records around the world, including fastest to $500 mil, so it may be this year’s global box office champ too.
