If you read my review of Transformers: Age of Extinction you’ll know why it was #1 at the Box Office this weekend. It was a vast improvement on the overall series, and my second favorite overall. I wasn’t the only one who was impressed by a darker Optimus Prime and the inclusion of Dinobots, as the movie brought in $100 million! This marks AOE the biggest opening of all of 2014, and the second biggest Transformers opening, putting it right behind Revenge of the Fallen’s $108 million.

The finale of the movie took place in China, and overseas this latest movie had a huge opening as well. China alone brought in $60 million, while altogether between domestic and foreign Box Offices, AOE has already grossed over $201 million! The rest of the competition didn’t come close, as you can tell by the chart below.

Next week, the Robots in Disguise have little competition as the only new movie to give it a fight is Melissa McCarthy‘s, Tammy. She did very well with The Heat last year, which opened to $40 million; but that’s not going to be enough to take down the Michael Bay juggernaut.
