Summer 2009 Sets US Box Office Record
Megan Fox helped 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' lead the pack of films that broke the US Summer Box Office record
Though the figures aren’t final, the record for the highest Box Office summer in US history has now been broken.
The record was last broken in 2007 with $4.16 billion, but now 2009 has surpassed that figure with $4.17 billion. It is expected that the final official figure will be around $4.18M.
Genre films were the clear bread winners. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen led the way with $399.4M. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came in second with $294.3M. Star Trek ran fifth with $256.7M, X-Men Origins: Wolverine ran seventh with $179M, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’s $132.M is expected to pass Angels and Demons ($133.4M) to sneak into the top list once the final figures are in.
