Looks like Shia LaBeouf does not need Megan Fox by his side to shatter box office records. Transformers: Dark of the Moon set a 4th of July weekend record with an estimated $97.4 million in ticket sales from Friday to Sunday. Its four-day earnings estimate is at $116.4 million. The movie’s total ticket sales since its Tuesday-night preview opening is a staggering $181.1 million. The previous record for the Independence Day three-day weekend record was set by Spider-Man 2 which brought in $88.2 million.

On the other end of the spectrum was another new release, Selena Gomez‘ Monte Carlo, which fizzled at the box office. The movie made only $8.8 million with a reported budget of $20 million. If sales do not pick up, this will be Gomez’s second straight box-office disappointment after 2010’s Ramona and Beezus.


Here are the top 10 movies for the four-day July 4 weekend:

1. Transformers: Dark of the Moon, $116.4 million, $181.1 million total to date
2. Cars 2, $32.1 million, $123.0 million
3. Bad Teacher, $17.6 million, $63.0 million
4. Larry Crowne, $15.7 million, new release
5. Super 8, $9.5 million, $110.1 million
6. Monte Carlo, $8.8 million, new release
