Transformers: Age of Extinction easily held on to first place at the box office over a very slow Fourth of July weekend.
Transformers: Age of Extinction plummeted 64 percent to an estimated $36.4 million. Without any serious competition, Transformers became the first movie since Captain America: The Winter Soldier to repeat in first place.
So far, Age of Extinction has earned $174.7 million, and is trailing the last two Transformers movies by a wide margin. Based on its current trajectory, it's likely that this winds up between $245 million and $265 million.
Without adding any new markets, Transformers: Age of Extinction still wound up dominating the international box office with $95.8 million. It has now earned $400.9 million, which is up 21 percent on Dark of the Moon across the same bucket of territories.
That entire increase can be attributed to China, where the movie added $50.9 million this weekend for an incredible total of $212.8 million (yes, that's over $35 million more than it's made in the U.S.). Early this week, it will pass Avatar ($217.7 million) to become the highest-grossing movie ever in China.
Next weekend, Transformers: Age of Extinction expands in to the U.K., Mexico and a handful of smaller markets. A final total north of $700 million is a guarantee at this point, and it could even eclipse $800 million.
