Transformers Crosses $700 Million Mark

On the eve of the US DVD release of Transformers, it seemed like a good time to check out the mostly final box office numbers for theatrical release. The numbers have really changed dramtically since last checked. The main thing is the movie crossed the $700 million worldwide gross mark. Impressive considering that the other films in the top five are all sequels and most viewers probably didn't really know what Transformers where until the movie. I don't think the numbers include IMAX sales, but could be wrong. If it doesn't then more then likely the additional sales would bump Transformers include the number 2 spot in sales for the US.
