Right now, the top grossing film in the U.S. in 2009 is Pixar’s Up, at $250m. Up hasn’t gone wide internationally yet so its foreign gross is just $20m. This is a film that is probably good.

The #2 film of the year is J.J. Abrams’ reboot of Star Trek, coming in at $246m so far. Plus an extra $123m abroad. This film doesn’t suck.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has grossed $200m in 5 days. Its opening day gross – a non-holiday Wednesday – was $60m. Foreign gross so far is $80m.

The rest of the top ten grossing films to date this year:

Monsters vs. Aliens – $195m
The Hangover – $183m
X-Men Origins: Wolverine – $177m (guess the leaked workprint didn’t hurt them that much)
Night at the Museum 2 – $163m
Fast & Furious 4 – $155m
Angels & Demons – $130m
Terminator Salvation – $121m

CGI rules in Hollywood.
