Box Office Actuals: ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ Hits $100 Million By Its Chinny Chin Chin

Well, there you have it, Transformers: Age of Extinction is the first film of 2014 to open over $100 million, but it was really close as the final number for Friday-Sunday ended up being $100,038,390. So don’t worry, all those headlines from Sunday are safe, as are those that said the film made a record $300+ million worldwide in its first three days to go along with its “A-” CinemaScore and what is being reported now as a $210 million budget.

22 Jump Street finished its third weekend in second, tallying $15.8 million, bringing its domestic cume to $140.2 million while How to Train Your Dragon 2 dropped another 46.4% as the family film just can’t seem to grab a foothold, bringing in only $121.9 million in its first three weeks.

Think Like a Man Too dropped a massive 64.7% down to fourth after taking the box office #1 last weekend and Clint Eastwood‘s Jersey Boys is almost forgotten, dropping 42.1% in its second weekend as its cume now sits at $27.4 million after two weeks in theaters.

Meanwhile, at the worldwide box office, X-Men: Days of Future Past is now the highest grossing worldwide release of the year with $712.7 million, just topping Captain America: The Winter Soldier at $711.2 million. Along with The Amazing Spider-Man 2, those are the only three films to cross $600 million at the worldwide box office, let alone $700 million, though Maleficent is only $14.3 million away from hitting $600 million itself.
