Transformers Rocks The Box Office

The Transformers movie kicked ass at the box office this weekend. The opening-day grossed $27.5 million, the highest Tuesday ever, and $29.1 million on Wednesday, which was a record setter for Independence day.

Paramount said the estimated $152.6 million marked a best for the initial seven days of release for any movie that was not a sequel. It beat 2002's original "Spider-Man," which scored an opening seven-day haul of more than $151 million.
