Paramount’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon’s Friday to Monday gross of $116.4 million (USA only) makes it the best July 4th opening on record, eclipsing the $115.8 million earned by Spider-Man 2.Overseas, Dark of the Moon grossed $217 million through Sunday, Paramount’s best international launch ever, and 55 percent ahead of Revenge of the Fallen.

In North America, Dark of the Moon earned 60 percent of its grosses from 3D theaters, bucking the recent downturn in 3D attendance. Overseas, where 3D continues to thrive in certain markets, 70 percent of the grosses came from 3D.
