MUMBAI: With just a week gone after its release, Paramount‘s Transformers: Dark of the Moon became the top grossing film in the series, with a worldwide gross of $882.4 million this weekend.

Dark of the Moon‘s performance has no doubt been helped by being the only one of the three to be released in 3D.

The original Transformers grossed $709.7 million globally, while its sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen roped in $836.3 million.

The weekend tally of Dark of the Moon included $62 million in foreign grosses that was fueled by a $40 million-plus opening in China, the biggest three-day launch of all time for an American film.

On the whole, Dark of the Moon has now earned $556.6 million at the international box office, becoming the No. 1 release in Paramount International‘s history.
