Friday Box Office
Transformers Toughen Up for Ice Age
For a moment there, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs looked like it might upstage Skids and the gang with a bold holiday coup for first place. But even with a 3-D surcharge padding its numbers since Wednesday, the animated Fox entry has dropped incrementally behind Transfromers: Revenge of the Fallen en route to yet another close Sunday finish. Public Enemies performed strongly as well, and a tip of the Uncle Sam hat to Warner Bros., whose firecracker The Hangover will explode past $200 million right around the time you put your burgers on the grill this afternoon. Congratulations to them, and Happy Independence Day to you!

Maybe if the latest Harry Potter movie was released at about the same time we wouldn't be scratching our heads, dumbfounded, at Revenge of the Fallen's box office numbers.
There is /no/ competition for it at the moment. Which is to say, while the movie itself is a complete piece of shit artistically, the studio did a good job (despite Bay's ravings) with the release dates.
