LOS ANGELES, July 10 (Reuters) - Big-budget action film "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" won the battle of the North American box office for the second straight week, churning up $47 million and easily beating two new comedies, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
Ticket sales for the third installment of the popular "Transformers" films about shape-shifting aliens eclipsed adult-targeted comedy "Horrible Bosses," which took in $28 million, and family film "Zookeeper," the weekend's No. 3 movie at box offices with $21 million.
"Transformers" was released by Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc. (VIAb.N), "Horrible Bosses" was distributed by Warner Bros., a division of Time Warner Inc. (TWX.N), and "Zookeeper" was released by the studio division of Sony Pictures Entertainment, a unit of Sony Corp (6758.T).
