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.

Wow, pretty fast, eh? Yeah, i agree with many that this was the best, but it disappointed me in some parts because they didn't include stuff in the book, such as various obstacles in the maze. But won't the actors be too 'old' to play in the movies once the movies take long too produce?

This movie truely was an epic, it diserves much more and none less. I don't know about all the other Potter fans out there but I plan on going to see the movie until it is out of theaters. If we all did that than the movie could easily break the milestone. 5 Golden stars for GoF.

Nice to see confirmation of the quality of the movie. Word of mouth is now the strongest form of advertisement that will sustain the movie. People will now go because their friends liked it.

Well in the US we are all tired and fat from eating so much turkey the only thing you can do is sit in the movie theatre for about two hours and Harry Potter is the perfect thing for that.
