LOS ANGELES: Prehistoric creatures and robots were in a photo finish for the Fourth of July box-office crown this weekend, with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs tied with $42.5 million each.
Final numbers Monday will sort out which movie actually came in first. Numbers reported during the weekend are estimates based on studio projections for how much business the movies will do today.
Universal's crime saga Public Enemies, starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, debuted at a solid No. 3 with $26.2 million.
The action adventure Transformers held up well after its $109 million debut the previous weekend, while the animated sequel Ice Age packed in family crowds.
With a $293.5 million domestic total after 12 days, Transformers shot past Disney and Pixar Animation's Up to become the year's highest-grossing movie.
The sequel reunites human stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox with shape-shifting robots in a war against evil machines.
Ice Age, the third installment in the cartoon franchise, brings back the voices of Ray Romano, Denis Leary, John Leguizamo and Queen Latifah as the gang of extinct animals encounters a lost world of dinosaurs underground. Since opening Wednesday, Ice Age has taken in $67.5 million.
Also at the top of the weekend box office were The Proposal, No. 4 with $12.8 million; The Hangover, No. 5 with $10.4 million; Up, No. 6 with $6.6 million; My Sister's Keeper, No. 7 with $5.3 million; The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, No. 8 with $2.5 million; and Year One and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, tied at No. 9 with $2.1 million.
