As it clanks its way out of the multiplexes, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has set a local box office record.
As well as being a shoo-in for the biggest film of the year, it's now the eighth most popular film of all time at the New Zealand box office, having grossed $7,947,103 since its release in June.
It pipped former eighth place-holder Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone last week. The reigning champ remains The Fellowship of the Ring, with $14,539,918.
