Both sit atop the box office with $42.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>Actual data on Monday will crown a winner, but as the July 4th weekend ends, neither film pulled ahead on the estimates sheet.  The crown could tentatively be given to &#8220;Ice Age&#8221; on the basis of its higher per-theatre gross ($10,368 to $10,038), but nothing definitive will be stated until the actuals are in.<\/p>\n<p>What is definite is that &#8220;Transformers&#8221; is less than $10 million away from reaching the $300 million milestone, while &#8220;Ice Age&#8221; sits below $70 million for its five-day opening take.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Public Enemies&#8221; was a distant third for the weekend, earning $26.2 million over the past three days.  &#8220;The Proposal&#8221; and &#8220;The Hangover&#8221; completed the top five with $12.8 million and $10.4 million.  &#8220;The Hangover&#8221; achieved a special milestone in moving past $200 million of cumulative domestic gross; &#8220;Beverly Hills Cop&#8221; and &#8220;Wedding Crashers&#8221; were previously the only two R-rated comedies to reach that mark.  &#8220;The Hangover&#8221; will pass the &#8220;Wedding Crashers&#8221; total this week and is less than $30 million from topping &#8220;Cop&#8221; as the top R-rated comedy in history.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/default.aspx?term=megan fox&#038;iid=5021027\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/2\/f\/c\/d\/Premiere_Of_DreamWorks_2f72.jpg?adImageId=1804052&#038;imageId=5021027\" width=\"320\" height=\"394\"  border=\"0\" alt=\"Premiere Of DreamWorks Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen - Arrivals\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.pis.picapp.com\/IamProd\/PicAppPIS\/JavaScript\/PisV4.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><B>Weekend Box Office:<\/b><br \/>\n1)   Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs &#8211;
