For Independence Day weekend, Hollywood's latest apocalyptic is one of the fastest-grossing starts on record for a non-sequel.
Rolling out on approximately 7,600 screens at 4,011 theaters, Transformers waged $146.6 million in its first six days, not including $8.8 million from Monday night previews which brings the tally to $155.4 million. That was enough to place DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures' $150 million robo-spectacle seventh among the highest-grossing six-day starts of all time, edging out the first Spider-Man as highest among non-sequels. Additionally, Transformers handily scored two minor records: biggest Tuesday daily gross with its $27.9 million opening day and top July 4th gross with Wednesday's $29.1 million.
For the weekend, Transformers racked up $70.5 million, ranking as the second-highest grossing Independence Day opening weekend behind Spider-Man 2's $88.2 million and 23rd best among all movies.
