The Michael Bay cartoon inspired film turned the box office into its own play thing this weekend.  To be accurate the Autobots helps to revive a sluggish box office and made history for an impressive first week take for a non-sequel.  The film took in a estimated $67.6 million over the weekend and has raked in over $150 million in it’s first week.  Rounding out the top three were last weeks number 1 and 2 films with “Ratatouille” and “Die Hard” taking in nice figures.

1. “Transformers,” $67.6 million
2. “Ratatouille,” $29 million
3. “Live Free or Die Hard,” $17.4 million
4. “License to Wed,” $10.4 million
5. “Evan Almighty,” $8.1 million
