Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Hits $300 Million at the Box Office

It’s another case of critics (and me) be damned … people are flocking to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Here’s the news release going inside the numbers …

After only 14-days in release, the worldwide hit “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” became the 2nd fastest film in movie history to earn $300 million in U.S. ticket sales, eclipsing the previous record-holder “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” by 2-days. From director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg, the Paramount Pictures release trails only “The Dark Knight” in this record-setting achievement.
