Which Transformers film had the highest worldwide box office? Transformers: Dark of the Moon had the highest worldwide box office.

Released in 2011, Dark of the Moon earned approximately $1.124 billion worldwide. Its total combined North American and international gross put it slightly ahead of Transformers: Age of Extinction, which earned about $1.104 billion. The film was the third installment in the live-action series and the third directed by Michael Bay.

Its commercial performance was helped by strong overseas business and the popularity of premium 3D screenings. Dark of the Moon earned about $352 million in North America and roughly $771 million in other territories. It also crossed the $1 billion mark during its theatrical run, a major milestone for Paramount at the time.

The nearest common mix-up is Age of Extinction, whose enormous international total—especially in China—made it appear to be the franchise leader. However, its worldwide total remained below Dark of the Moon. The 2007 original and Revenge of the Fallen also performed strongly, but neither reached the $1 billion mark. This comparison means unadjusted worldwide theatrical gross, not inflation-adjusted ticket sales or domestic-only revenue.
