'Transformers 2' tops $300M
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" has topped $300 million at the box office in just 14 days.
BoxOfficeMojo.com says the film has earned $305.5 million so far in the United States alone.
Only one other film has reached the $300 million mark faster, a small independent production called "The Dark Night," which eventually grossed $533.3 million in the U.S.
While "Transformers 2" is not on pace to catch "The Dark Night," it could end up making $400 million domestically, something only eight films have achieved.
The sequel is already No. 29 on the all-time domestic box office list and will soon pass the original "Transformers," which took in $319.2 million in its 2007 release.
"Transformers 2" is a smash worldwide, earning a total of $623 million so far.
