Over the Independence Day Weekend, the giant alien robots managed to fend off the prehistoric Ice Age, but it was a close race, with a difference of just a million dollars.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen smashed the box office last weekend raking in more than $200 million since it opened last Wednesday and setting the box office standard for the summer season.

This weekend expect to be thrilled or chilled by the new releases in theaters. Be sure to have a box of tissues handy or a date to hold onto for a roller coaster ride.

Transformers, the smash blockbuster hit, will be developed as a new theme-park mega-attraction for Universal Studios Singapore and Universal Studios Hollywood.

The director is shooting a portion of his sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, in large format.
