Please use this thread to discuss the Transformers Dark of the Moon closed in on three quarters of a billion dollar gross news story on the main site.

Transformers Dark of the Moon continues to perform extremely well at box office and has now grossed over $711 billion dollars.  By Friday, BoxOfficeMojo were reporting that the film had grossed $711,746,758 dollars with a 60-40 split between non-US and US grosses.  The domestic gross was only a estimate and the foreign figures are never up-to-date on that site so it's quite likely that the film is even closer to, or may have already passed the $725 million dollar mark.  The film has passed the total gross for the first live action Transformers film of $709,709,780 but it still behind its sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which went on to gross $836,297,228 meaning that, all together, the franchise has taken $2,257,753,766 at a cost of $545,000,000
