Overall, the Box Office was down 19.4% on last weekend's total gross.

TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN managed to hold on to top spot for a second weekend in a row despite some strong competition entering the market place. The film earned a decent $42.3M but dropped a massive 61% on last weekend's stellar opening. Word of mouth has kicked in but given the film has earned $293M domestically since opening, the film is the year's biggest blockbuster success.

Opening in second spot is ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS which actually opened on Wednesday, but managed to gross $41.6M over the weekend. Despite a bad reception, the film has done extremely well, having earned $66.7M in five days against a $90M budget. The continuation of this franchise is assured.

Third spot goes to Michael Mann's new film, PUBLIC ENEMIES, which also opened on Wednesday and managed a strong $25.2M over the course of the weekend. The film has earned $40M since opening, but the budget was $100M which will make its road to recouping its negative cost that much harder. This is another example of a star-driven film not generating more business in the wake of computer-generated folly and mindless action, although it did reasonably well considering that competition.

THE PROPOSAL and THE HANGOVER held on quite well, earning $12.8M and $11.2M respectively to take their total domestic grosses to $94.3M and $205M respectively. Both films are successes, particularly the latter which may be able to claim the biggest return on investment of a wide release for 2009.

The US Box Office took in a total of $155,486,083 for the whole of the weekend 3-5 July 2009.
