Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs Tops the Wednesday Box Office

Source:  Variety
With robots in disguise tearing through the box office, it seems they've found a worthy competitor this week. According to Variety, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs topped the Wednesday box office with $13.8 million.

The film opened in 3,998 theaters yesterday and the opening-day mark was quite strong, since it managed to beat out box-office juggernaut Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which took in $10.9 million for second place. The Michael Bay sequel now stands at $240.9 million at the domestic box office.

Also opening yesterday was Michael Mann's gangster film Public Enemies, which opened with a solid $8.2 million on its opening day.

I'm no Bay hater. I loved the Rock, Bad Boys one and two. But transformers just sucked. Your mentality to all of this scares me. Now, i see why Hollywood is the way it is. Why change because people will still go see dumbass shit? Hollywood=Smartest People on Earth.

Sad that a threequel has outplayed a Michael Mann flick. He never fails with crime dramas.

Transformers will easily break 300 million and will probably end up between 350-400 mil domestically. It is already at 240 which is the second highest 8 day gross of all time, and 20 million higher than Pirates 2 which had 20 mil less at this time and ended up grossing over 400 million. It is a foregone conclusion, sorry Michael Bay haters, it is what it is.

No suprise there. But that is alot of god damn money.
Public Enemies was fantastic but will be at least the 5 or 6 spot at the box office. Maybe 4.
