After topping the list with $97.5 million on Independence Day weekend, it has now reclaimed the hot spot with an additional $47.0 million.

Internationally, the third installment of the "Transformers" movie franchise added $93 million in ticket sales. This made the Michael Bay-directed movie which pairs up Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley generated a total of $645 million from its worldwide sale since its debut last week.

Trailing behind the action-packed film were two movies from comedy genre. "Horrible Bosses", which features Jennifer Aniston playing a sex-crazed dentist, bowed at No. 2 with $28 million, while "Zookeeper" which has Kevin James as an animal caretaker follows closely at No. 3 with $21 million.
