Although Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was universally slammed by movie critics, the blockbuster action flick continues to rake in money at the box office.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount Picture's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen took in an estimated five-day gross of $14.4 million in IMAX screenings.  It was the biggest ever total for the giant screen exhibitor, on a record opening of 169 screens.

Toronto-based IMAX also estimated Michael Bay's action sequel earned a per-screen average of over $85,000 between June 24 and June 28, with the IMAX version contributing 7% of the film's estimated $201.2 million total domestic box office on around 2% of the screens, according to The Hollywood Reporter on June 28.

The movie also gave IMAX its biggest single-day domestic gross of $3.9 million, and its biggest international single-day gross for a digitally-remastered IMAX title at $770,000 on Saturday.
