Having celebrated the Thanksgiving weekend in the U.S. the number one movie at the box-office was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The fourth movie in the series brought in over $81 million dollars, raising it's take in the U.S. to over $201 million, and over $408 million worldwide, putting it ahead of the previous movies.
This puts Goblet of Fire ahead of all previous Harry Potter movies according to BoxOfficeMojo
and ComingSoon.net.
:
That clear-cut winner was once again Warner Bros' Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth installment in the series, which made another $81 million over the five-day Thanksgiving holiday, as estimated $55 million over the weekend, bringing its total just over $201 million in just ten days. This puts it well ahead of the first installment of the Harry Potter series, which earned $187 million by the end of its second weekend four years ago, and the second movie Chamber of Secrets, which took a whole week longer to reach the $200 million mark. It is now the fourth fastest movie to reach that milestone behind the two Spider-Man movies and Star Wars: Episode III.
Reuters adds:
The top foreign markets for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire include Britain with $51.3 million, Germany with $35.5 million and Mexico with $13.6 million, all after two weekends, according to Warner Bros. Pictures.
In North America, Harry Potter sold an estimated $54.9 million worth of tickets in the three days beginning Friday. The 10-day haul of $201.1 million handily beats the comparable performances of the first three films, led by the $186 million tally for the first one, 2001's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Official returns will be released tomorrow afternoon.

Completely expected. How can Harry not make a ton of money? Duhh. So does that make it one of the highest-grossing movies ever?

I'm so delighted at the returns this movie is getting. I almost saw it for the 3rd time last night, but opted for jarhead instead. It won't surprise me though, if I end up seeing it again. And then I'll have to wait for the DVD. Congrats to all involved in Potter!

Well, I feel like I'm a major contributer to this. I've already seen it five times with 5 different groups of people.
I knew the PG-13 rating wouldn't keep people away. I was in theaters packed with kids under 13. If they can handle reading it, they can handle seeing it.
