Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen may have not impressed the critics too much, but the fans apparently loved it! The movie managed to bring in a total of $60.6 million in one day!
That makes the sequel the biggest grossing film of all time for a Wednesday premiere, as well as the second biggest single-day gross in box office history.
Transformers 2 beat out
Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix’s previous single day record Wednesday total of $44.2 million, which was followed by 2004’s
Spider Man 2 at $40.4 million, 2003’s Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King at $34.4 million and
Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace with $28.5 million in 1999.
