Transformers 2, Revenge of the Fallen is a Hit

Not that this should come as a surprise to anyone but the Transformers sequel, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, took in a record $16 million dollars in it's midnight screenings alone. That figure does not include anything after 3am Wednesday morning.

This is is the third-biggest midnight box office take after Star Wars—Episode III: Revenge of the Sith ($16.5 million) and The Dark Knight ($18.5 million).

Since those midnight screenings, the movie has gone on to rake in more than $55 million.

We will be keeping an eye on the box office over the weekend for you.
