The domestic box office totaled $1.04 billion in June, which is a pretty standard result for the second month of Summer. Unfortunately, it was off a massive 16 percent from last year's $1.25 billion record, which puts the yearly box office in a precarious position heading in to the third quarter.

Last June's lineup was unusually strong: Man of Steel,Monsters University and World War Z earned a combined $543 million during the month. In comparison, the Top Three titles in June 2014 earned a more modest $420 million.

Maleficent led the way with $153.4 million. This is the first time a May release topped the June box office sincePirates of the Caribbean: At World's End in 2007. 

The Angelina Jolie fantasy opened to a strong $69.4 million at the end of May, and has held incredibly well since then. It's on track for around $230 million total, which is nearly on par with last year's Oz The Great and Powerful ($234.9 million). Maleficent has also done strong business overseas: with Japan on the way, it should pass $400 million soon.

So My film snob friend who drove out to Chicago to see 12 Years a Slave on opening weekend liked Transformers 4 "a lot better" than Dragon 2 I don't even know

You friend is crazy. TF4 was horrible, while HTTYD2 was great.

And he was a film snob. Surely he would have been tearing Transformers 4 a "new one".

If you must know I plan to have this laser slowly burn your body to pieces.Sappy Boy: Why not kill me right here, right now? It would be a lot simpler than what you already have planned to kill me with.Bull: Well where’s the fun in that? Besides this is much more gruesome to look at, and I love it when I make art.Sappy Boy (looks at the machine): Say isn’t this basically what a James bond villain would do?The bull presses the button, the laser slowly moves down. The bull walks out of the room.The Bull: I’ll be back don’t worry, oh wait you won’t be alive by then.Narrator: Will our hero escape from the laser? Will he defeat the Bull?
