Following on from the recent reports regarding the success of the Transformers movie in the US, we are proud to be able to bring you some more detailed information on the gross figures as well some news from the international releases from last months.Transformers had an outstanding international start last weekend which we followed by a record-breaking US box office opening. The film official opened on July 3rd and grossed an colossal $29.082 million, over 30% more than the domestic (US) launch of War of the Worlds and last summers Superman Returns! When combined with Monday nights previews, Transformers had grossed $36.25m million dollars by the the start of Wednesday (more than previously reported). The US success comes hot on the heels of stunning international launches, which set a wealth of records for Paramount Picture,s Dreamsworks, director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg. Transformers will open nationalwide in the UK (in over 800 cinemas) on Friday the 27th July, with preview screenings on Saturday the 21st (see your local cinema for details).
