According to Variety, this summer's domestic box office gross was the industry's biggest ever, with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Up contributing to a total $4.17bn (£2.4bn) from US cinemagoers up to the end of August.

Fantasy blockbusters accounted for the lion's share of revenues, with income from the Transformers sequel alone nudging $400m.
