LOS ANGELES – "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" has reached another Hollywood milestone.

The sci-fi blockbuster shot past the $300 million mark domestically on Tuesday – after just 14 days in release.

That makes it the second-fastest movie to top $300 million, behind last summer's "The Dark Knight," which made it in 10 days.

The "Transformers" sequel also has topped $600 million worldwide. The movie is closing in on the $319 million domestic total of the first "Transformers" installment in 2007, as well as the original flick's $700 million worldwide total.
