In a sign of justice, fairness, and sanity in the world, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, has been tied for 1st place in this weekend's box office with Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs at about $42.5 million each, thus preventing it from being the undisputed number one movie for the 3rd straight week.
What's more interesting, and a giant fucking relief, is the fact that Entertainment Weekly is reporting:
with $293.4 million in the bank, Transformers 2 is easily the highest grossing movie of 2009 -- if no longer on track to match last year's The Dark Knight, which had raked in $334 million at the same point in its run.
This is a sigh of relief. It appears that The Dark Knight, one of the best action/fantasy movies ever, will not have its US or international box office numbers surpassed by Transformers 2, despite all its marketing and hype. In addition, Transformers 2 had a bigger budget of $200 million compared to $185 million for the Dark Knight.
