Box Office: “Transformers” Sequel Knocks “Spider Man” Sequel from Top Perch in Weekend Surprise Upset

Share

The winner of the weekend if “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.” It came in at number 1 with $60 million.

Second place goes to “Spider Man: Across the Universe” with $55 million.

The race is a little unfair since “Transformers” counts Thursday previews, which accounted for $8.8 million. On Thursday, “Spider Man”made over $10 million. So there.

Anyway, “Spider Man” now has $225 million banked after 11 days of release. So no one’s sending condolence cards.

Haha, listen to this: “Super Mario Brothers” is up to $570 mil domestic, $1.3 mil worldwide. What can you say?
