Three months after its initial release, the Michael Bay Transformers movie is still breaking records. Yahoo! Finance reports that over the weekend, Transformers became the second highest grossing foreign movie of all time in China, when it surpassed 100 million yuan ($13.3 million) mark set by The Da Vinci Code. With $37.3 million to its name, Transformers is only behind James Cameron's Titanic, which had earned $48 million in China.
On a side note, the Transformers movie was apparently able to achieve this feat, without much aid of public commercial support. Earlier it was reported that the Chinese goverment had banned all media coverage surrounding the movie. This was however disputed.
