Top Story: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen scored the biggest non-opening Thursday of all-time yesterday. The big Baygasm took in $27 million, putting it well ahead of Spider-Man 2‘s $23 million gross.  Only Star Wars: Episode III, The Matrix Reloaded, and Star Wars: Episode II had bigger Thursdays, but on the day of their actual release.

Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper, Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher had previously joined the cast. (THR)
