As expected, the tie at the top of the Fourth of July weekend box office was broken when studio accountants sharpened their pencils.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen won the weekend when real ticket sales were counted, according to Variety.com. Well, not exactly real but whatever was reported or sorted by studio number crunchers. Kind of like a blind auction bid. Enough people are expecting a headline Monday morning that Sunday estimates count most in a news cycle, and enough people liked the tie situation T-minus-2 and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs created.

But it didn't hold up. The Transformers flick reported $42.3 million grossed domestically to hold the No. 1 spot. The Ice Age flick ponied up $41.7 when its Sunday bluff was called. Both films are officially below the $42.5 million total estimated Sunday, so both studios were fibbing.
