Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opened in both Japan and the United Kingdom to scathing reviews and of course, massive box office. MichaelBay.com is reporting that the film grossed $20 million dollars over the weekend in just those two countries.
In the UK alone it earned $14.1 mil. That may seem like a small number compared the $100 million weekends we’ve seen here in America but the UK is a much smaller country with a smaller number of theaters. It did that in only 517 locations, which leaves it outperforming the opening weekends of movies like Spider-Man 2 and put it in the neighborhood of the box office performance seen by The Dark Knight there. As a reference point, Terminator Salvation only made around $11.5 million it’s opening weekend in the United Kingdom.Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opened in both Japan and the United Kingdom to... more

"Angels & Demons" took the box office from "Star Trek" by earning $48 million in its first weekend of release.
The haul was far less than the earlier Dan Brown adaptation "The Da Vinci Code" — which earned $77.1 million when in opened in 2006 — but still enough to topple the popular "Star Trek," according to studio estimates Sunday.
In its second weekend, Paramount Pictures' "Star Trek" took in $43 million, a strong number after its $75.2 million opening last weekend, excluding its Thursday midnight screenings. The cumulative total for J.J. Abram's reboot of the sci-fi franchise is $147.6 million.
Sony's "Angels & Demons" reunites Tom Hanks and director Ron Howard for the sequel to "The Da Vinci Code." It opened without the benefit of the buzz and controversy that propelled "The Da Vinci Code" to a $753 million worldwide total.
Overseas business was again strong for "Angels & Demons," which earned $104.3 million internationally. Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution for Sony, said the studio expects the film will eventually take in half a billion altogether in theatrical release.
1. "Angels & Demons," $48 million.
2. "Star Trek," $43 million.
3. "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," $14.8 million.
4. "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," $6.9 million.
5. "Obsessed," $4.6 million.
6. "17 Again," $3.4 million.
7. "Monsters vs. Aliens," $3 million.
8. "The Soloist," $2.4 million.
9. "Next Day Air," $2.2 million.
