Not all movies can be winners. Some lose the ticket sales battle, but win the critics. Other movies are only here to make money at the box office and don’t care about critics at all (Transformers 2).
If we look at the worldwide box office results, we certainly see the best movies won’t make the most money. But that’s something to discuss another time. We’re here for the summer 2009 worldwide box office top 10!
The Hangover is the surprise hit, although it didn’t end high. Ice Age 3 is quickly taking over from Pixar’s Up. It even beat Angels and Demons since today. Night at the Museum 2 just past Star Trek. And Terminator Salvation lost the battle with Transformer 2, big time.
