Transformers fans out there: Revenge of the Fallen grossed an estimated $60.6 million yesterday, making it the best opening day ever for a Wednesday release in the U.S.
Variety reports that the previous record-holder was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and its $44.2 million opening day. Additionally, the trade paper figures that Transformers 2 just might overtake Spider-Man 2's five-day record of $152.4 million from when it opened on the same Wednesday in 2004.
Of that $60.6 million, Michael Bay's opus pulled in $16 million in midnight shows, another Wednesday record and the third-best ever behind The Dark Knight's $18.5 million and Revenge of the Sith's $16.9 million.
The film is reportedly also doing giant-robot business internationally, outpacing the original Transformers in places like Australia and Korea.
