Weekend of June 26 - 28, 2009

Michael Bay's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" crushed the North American box office this week with an impressive $201.2 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The anticipated sequel to "Transformers" opened at 4,234 locations Wednesday and scored a daily gross of $60.6 million, the highest ever for a Wednesday. The film brought in another $28 million Thursday and $36.7 million on Friday.

At a distant No. 2, last week's winner "The Proposal" collected $18.4 million, reaching a domestic gross of $69 million. Starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, the film follows an overbearing book editor who forces her assistant into marrying her when she faces deportation to Canada.

Following in third place with $17.2 million was Todd Phillips' comedy "The Hangover," which lifted its cume to a solid $183.2 million after a superb four-week run.
