Third place is for Transformers 2, the highest grossing film in the USA of the year, which has already accumulated 364 million dollars, which makes it very difficult for any film to manage to take away the position of the highest grossing.
In fourth and sixth place they hold up comedies very well Proposition, with 128 million accumulated, and Hangover in Las Vegas with 235 million. The best thing about these productions is that they only cost 40 million the first and 35 the second.
Fifth place goes to Bruno, which is not achieving the expected success, in its second week adds 8,3 million for a total of 49.
Public Enemies, little by little, and million by million, is managing to mitigate the failure that it seemed that this production of 100 million dollars was going to be.
