“Transformers: Age of Extinction” extended its North American box office dominance into a second straight week, industry estimates showed Sunday, earning $36.4 million over the Independence Day weekend.<\/p>\n

The massive morphing robots epic — the first movie of the year to open with $100 million on the domestic front — has earned $174.7 million over two weeks, according to industry monitor Exhibitor Relations.<\/p>\n

In second place was “Tammy” starring plus-sized comedian Melissa McCarthy, whose road trip with her alcoholic grandmother, played by Susan Sarandon, debuted with $21.2 million in ticket sales.<\/p>\n

Third was another newcomer, the horror flick “Deliver Us From Evil,” with $9.5 million in estimated ticket sales.<\/p>\n

Buddy comedy “22 Jump Street,” featuring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, pulled in $9.4 million for fourth place.<\/p>\n

Another blockbuster summer sequel, “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” came in fifth with $8.75 million this weekend.<\/p>\n

Family-friendly sci-fi “Earth to Echo” was in sixth place with $8.25 in earnings in its debut.<\/p>\n

Angelina Jolie’s “Maleficent,” a modern retelling of the life of Sleeping Beauty’s arch-nemesis, grossed $6.1 million for the weekend for seventh place.<\/p>\n

“Jersey Boys,” Clint Eastwood’s film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical about the 1960s rise to pop success of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, was in eighth place at $5.2 million.<\/p>\n

Comedy sequel “Think Like A Man Too” earned ninth place with $4.9 million, while Tom Cruise action flick “Edge of Tomorrow” was 10th with $3.6 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
