Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs were the two movies that claimed the #1 spot on holiday weekend. Both these films earned around $42.5m. Public Enemies, The Proposal and The Hangover also seemed to do well over the Fourth of July weekend, as Public Enemies was at third place with its $26.2m business while the Proposal and the Hangover earned $12.8m and $10.4m respectively.
However, none of these blockbusters seemed to compete with barbecues and fireworks on the holiday. There was considerable increase in tickets sales on Friday and Sunday, but the sales took a nosedive on Saturday.
For Transformers, the holiday haul of $42.5m was somewhat more modest than what cine analysts were expecting, but the movies has hardly underperformed at box office with its $ 293m gross.
