Paramount and DreamWorks' Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is close to becoming the highest-grossing film of the year at the worldwide box office in less than two weeks in release.
Through Tuesday, the film's global take was $448.4 million, says Variety. The current No. 1 title, Angels & Demons, which opened in mid-May, has grossed $469 million.
At the domestic box office, the Transformers sequel grossed $14.9 million Monday and $13.5 million Tuesday for a total of $228.4 million.
Overseas, Monday's grosses clocked in at $14 million, while Tuesday came in at $16 million for a foreign total of $220 million.
At that rate, the film should catch up with "Angels" by Friday, even with the day and date entry of 20th Century Fox's Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
"Transformers" is also expected to overtake Up ($255 million through Tuesday domestically) this weekend to become the biggest domestic grosser of 2009.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

I don't think so. The box office for the film is surely going to drop this week (although it may stay in the #1 spot - not much coming out this week that could rival it, IMHO), but next week in the new Harry Potter film, which will definately give RotF competition.

"Bad Critic, Bad Critic! What the hell were you thinking?"
My thoughts exactly. I hope Bay and DreamWorks gives the critics and all the haters a billion-dollar finger.
