The weekend box office proves that the Transformers franchise still has legs: Transformers: Age of Extinction rang in $41.6 million domestically this Friday.
This, the fourth installment in the film series, is expected to bring in $104 million-plus over the weekend.
If this estimate holds true, the movie would overtake Captain America: The Winter Soldier as the best debut of the year. The Disney-Marvel sequel earned $95 million when it opened the summer box office early when it arrived at theatres the first weekend of April.
