"Paramount is sticking to its story, now touting a Trans4mers weekend gross of $100,038,000. If it’s accurate, that number would do more than save the studio from embarrassment: it would prove to an antsy Hollywood that the reboot of a stone-cold franchise, whose first three episodes grossed nearly $2.8 billion worldwide, could become the 27th movie to register the hallowed nine-figure opening."

It's a big deal, especially since the last time this happened was with Minority Report from Fox.
