The only other new release of the weekend, the Cameron Diaz-weepie My Sister’s Keeper, grossed $12 million for a fifth place in the box office derby. The rest of the top five was dominated by successful holdovers with The Proposal dropping only 45% its second weekend in theaters for a ten-day cume of $69.1 million and a weekend take of $18.5 million. The Hangover keeps on trucking, grossing an additional $17.2 million for a total cume of $183.2 million and third spot in the rankings. Pixar’s Up has now outgrossed Cars, earning $13 million for a total take of $250 million.
In limited release, Summit Entertainment scored big with its Iraq war drama The Hurt Locker from director Kathryn Bigelow. Opening on only four screens in New York and Los Angeles, the festival fave grossed $144,000 for a per-theater average of $36,000. The film was sold out in its four theaters on opposite coasts. It will expand into more markets on July 10.

Wow. I am sure Megan Fox has something to do. She was so hot in the first one: http://www.actressscene.com/2009/06/megan-fox-in-transformers.html
Pixar’s “Up” became the biggest movie in the domestic box office so far with an estimated $250 mln. It is also the top rated movie so far (www.rottentomatoes.com). I think this movie deserves that title, even though Trasnformers and Harry Potter movies will pass. The other thing is that the numbers of Transformers 2 will go down very fast, and it can gross near to $350 mln in North American box office. As a movie it gives no massage to a viewer. And I think the next one will be more interesting without any actors in it. Because the acting in the movie is 0 if not minus.
This is dedicated to the loved ones we have lost:

Movie Lover, you make some interesting points. But I’m not sure you should knock Transformers because it “gives no massage” to it’s viewers. I believe that you would need special seats for that. Or at least a very short masseur…

There’s only one legitimate place I’ve found to watch it online, the rest seem like scams :-/ You can see it over here though: http://vostuu.com/watch28015.html
They make you do a little survey but after that it’s good to go
It’ll be interesting to see what it makes next week. I’m guessing it’ll drop pretty hard from bad word of mouth.
Such a horrible movie…
Swear, if G.I. Joe doesn’t bomb, there is no God!

TRANSFORMERS is the BEST!!! #1!!!!!!! It was amazing! I loved it!
Proof that the end of civilisation is near. It is criminal that Michael Bay is a) still directing and b) making so much money.
WHY ARE PEOPLE DOING THIS?! It’s depressing beyond belief that talented filmmakers are not receiving a dime and yet Michael Bay can go, “Let’s put a 30 year old prostitute, I mean Megan Fox, in a prancing position and audiences will be dumb enough to fall for it”.
fantastic point.

The movie was a little on the long side, but my God those effects are wicked, especially those IMAX filmed scenes! Lots of fun.
Well, there’s no accounting for taste.
The effects carried the movie…there was no plot, the actors didn’t have to show up (and they had either nothing to do or what was there was horribly written). For a summer popcorn movie it was fine.
