Pic scores best five-day haul after 'Dark Knight' -- Paramount's sequel "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" grossed an estimated $201.2 million from 4,234 theaters at the domestic box office to score the best five-day haul ever after "The Dark Knight."

Variety says that early estimates for Thursday show Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen earning another $27 million, bringing its two-day domestic total to $87 million.

It's now officially a rock-'em, sock-'em summer! Paramount's Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen shattered the Wednesday opening record set by Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix (#5) in 2007 - $60.6M vs $44.2M. Even better for the studio, Transformers 2 came in 2nd only to 2008 box office phenomenon The Dark Knight for biggest opening day ever: $60.6M vs $67.1M. So now 2007 Spider-Man 3's $59.8M single day take drops down to #3. The robot sequel grosses from 4,234 North American theaters are $16M more than Paramount expected. That puts the sci-fi actioner on track for a $175M five-day opening despite overwhelmingly lousy reviews. But Paramount boasted how exit polling showed that 91% of the audience said "they liked this movie as much or better than the first". So this Decepticons vs Autobots battle is reviewer-proof.

The romantic comedy "The Proposal" proved seductive at the North American boxoffice Friday. Disney's PG-13 "Proposal," starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds and directed by Anne Fletcher, opened in 3,056 theaters to a rosy estimate of $12.6 million, which should see it flirt with the $30 million mark for its first weekend.

"The Hangover" logged a second consecutive weekend atop the North American boxoffice with estimated three-day sales of $33.4 million.

That hijacked New York City subway car failed to crack through the juggernauts that are "The Hangover" and "Up" at the North American boxoffice on Friday.

The Hangover finished No. 2 and Pixar CGI toon Up, because of this four-quadrant pic's usual Saturday crowded matinees for kiddies, repeated as No. 1 with an impressive hold around -38%. Up was a strong No. 2 Friday with $13.1M from 3,818 plays, then added $17M Saturday for a $44M weekend. Pixar's 10th straight smash, Up will post a $117M cume, so that's two success stories this weekend.

Rapturous reviews and a colossal marketing campaign sent “Up” into the box office stratosphere over the weekend.

Hollywood planned a 2nd straight weekend friendly for family filmgoers who have pent-up demand. With 20% of K-through-12 out of school today, Pixar/Disney's 10th pic and first 3-D movie, Up, was able to get a jump on the domestic box office with busy matinees from 1,534 3-D theaters -- a record -- and a total of 3,766 theatres total.

The first-day haul included a $3 million-plus tally for thousands of midnight Wednesday performances.
