Transformers: Dark of the Moon earned $97.4 million over the weekend, bringing its total gross since its release last Friday to $162 million. Last week’s number one, Cars 2 (weekend gross $25.1 million, total gross $116 million) was pushed down one spot, and last weekend’s runner-up,Bad Teacher (weekend gross $14.1 million, total gross $59.5 million), came in at number three. New releases Larry Crowne ($13 million) and Monte Carlo ($7.6 million) rounded out the top five.
The limited release Love Etc. earned $7,900 in its first weekend.
