Marking the best three-day opening of the summer so far, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” trampled the competition at the box office this weekend, grossing $112 million between Friday and Sunday.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the robot-focused action flick grossed an estimated $201 million over its first 5 days, second only to “The Dark Knight’s” 5-day opening of $203 million last year.

Romantic comedy “The Proposal,” starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, took the runner-up spot, bringing in $18.5 million during its second weekend.  “The Hangover” continued to prove its staying power with a third-place total of $17.2 million.

Twitterers chimed in with thoughts about each film:
