Robots vs. Mammoths

Another weekend wrapped up at the box office, and right now, it looks like a tie. The official numbers will come out later today. But when looking at estimates, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is tied for the top spot with the animated characters of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

Since opening last Wednesday, Ice Age has pulled in $67.5 million. Since it’s opening, Transformers has grossed a total of $293.5 million, passing Up to become the highest grossing movie of the year. For some reason the beer-soaked Hangover is still holding in the top five pulling in another $10.4 million over the weekend. That puts the flick at a box office total of $204.2 million. That puts it in the same category as Up, Transformers and Star Trek, as movies to break the $200 million mark for this year.

Public Enemies, the other new release which opened last Wednesday, finished in third spot in the box office with $26.2 million.
