Giant robots may not scream diversity, but they attract it.

According to a survey by the Motion Picture Association of America, Transformers: Age of Extinction had the most diverse film-going audience of last year's top-grossing films in the US.

The film, which was No1 worldwide last year, had a US audience that was 22% African-American, 26% Hispanic and 14% Asian.

The "whitest" film was The Lego Movie. Its audience was 64% white, 12% African-American, 16% Hispanic and 8% Asian.
