“Transformers: Age of Extinction” topped a Fourth of July holiday that let out a whimper at the box office instead of a bang.
The giant robots sequel netted $36.4 million in its second week of release from 4,233 locations, pushing the $210 million production to $174.7 million domestically, according to studio estimates.
Among the crop of new releases, New Line’s “Tammy” fared the best, wrangling $32.9 million across 3,400 screens over its first five days, $21.2 million of it coming from the weekend. That’s a lower figure than pre-release tracking had suggested it would do, with most analysts predicting a debut of $40 million over its first five days in theaters.
The Melissa McCarthy comedy cost a modest $20 million to produce, so its opening figure still puts it on the path to profitability.
Warner Bros. distribution chief Dan Fellman said credit goes to McCarthy for bringing in crowds.
