Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has broken the record for the biggest Wednesday movie opening in film history. 

Grossing north of $55 million, Paramount’s sequel “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” easily scored the best opening day ever for a Wednesday release at the domestic box office.

Previous record-holder was “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” which grossed $44.2 million in its first day.

Par will release an official Wednesday number Thursday morning.

“Transformers 2,” playing in more than 4,200 theaters in the U.S., has a strong shot at eclipsing the $152.4 million earned by “Spider-Man 2″ in its first five days. That film opened on the same Wednesday in 2004.

That’s a lot of money! Imagine what it’s going to make over the weekend! This is looking to be the biggest money maker of the year, unless Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince can top it in July.
