And the tie goes to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Final returns today showed the giant-robot sequel edging out Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, $42.3 million to $41.7 million, for its second straight No. 1 weekend finish.

Yesterday, estimates provided by the franchises' two studios had the films deadlocked at $42.5 million. In the end, Dawn of the Dinosaur's Sunday came up about $1 million short of projections.

"Obviously, the Fourth of July weekend hurt it," said Exhibitor Relations box office analyst Jeff Bock, who'd expected family business to give Dawn of the Dinosaurs the crown. "It looked like it carried over into Sunday, too."
