Transformers sequel sets Wednesday opening record with $60m

Published on: June 25, 2009

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen grossed $60.6m on its first day of North American release, according to a preliminary estimate from Paramount, making it the biggest Wednesday opener ever.

The Paramount-DreamWorks sci-fi action sequel started screening just after the stroke of midnight on Wednesday (June 24), and the first day figure includes $16m for its late-night showings. Over the course of the day the film played in 4,234 theatres.

The $60.6m gross beats the current record for an opening Wednesday, the $44.2m earned by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in July 2007. And if confirmed it will rank as the second biggest opening day overall, after the $67.2m achieved last July by The Dark Knight (which opened on a Friday) but just ahead of the $59.8m taken by Spider-Man 3 (also on a Friday) in May 2007.

The powerful start puts the sequel, again directed by Michael Bay and starring Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, on course to achieve the biggest five-day North American opening starting on a Wednesday. The current record-holder is Spider-Man 2, with $152.4m. (The biggest five-day opening starting on any day is the $203.8m scored by The Dark Knight.)
