After six weeks in U.S. movie theaters Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has overtaken
Chamber of Secrets in box-office receipts. Currently Goblet of Fire is the second highest grossing Harry Potter movie.
Over the holiday weekend Goblet of Fire made $5.72 million and is currently at the number 10 spot. Overseas the movie has garnered $497 million for a total global box-office take of $759.4 million, just $30 million behind Prisoner of Azkaban.
Thanks to Shannon for the reminder of my weekly updates.
UPDATE: Actual weekend figures have been given and Goblet of Fire took in $6.4 million over the holiday weekend and is currently ranked at number 9.

I loved PoA but I'm not surprised that GoF is on track to overtake PoA in box-office receipts globally. The lenthy holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Years gives GoF a boost...while PoA had to battle many blockbusters in the competitive summer market.

Hmm...
Thirty million dollars - not that much. However, has it stopped showing world-wide now? Is that it? Can it not make anymore money? It just stops there? Hmm, I found GoF to be better than PoA...

Thats great, and its only $30 million away for PoA which is not bad at all. I can see it making a lot more money. Its great that Harry Potter is hold up.

That's pretty amazing considering the low box office sales this year. The amount will probably increase this week because so many kids are on holiday and may go see it.

I liked GoF better, but I guess the "grossing" disagree's with me.

I know I hadn't read any of the HP books or seen Sorcerer's Stone when CoS was in the theaters. So I guess you can add me to the tons of people who have discovered HP since then and have added to the new grosses.

Glad to see the numbers rolling in. No surpise to me that it passes all the earlier pictures. The fan base has grown and the movies are more impressive. Also, ticket prices went up.

Uh, good for GoF? *awkward silence* It's a pity, seeing how it wasn't the best movie out of the series so far. Oh well, it's not my fault that people can't recognize bad acting when it's on screen. Now "The Producers" wow... BEST FREAKING MOVIE OF THE YEAR! Sorry, off topic, no need to reiterate.

That's really cool.
I wonder if GoF will catch up to PoA?
30 million is no easy task.
But I think GoF will do it eventually.

If it beats it eventually,it will be great, but will it beat any of the classics like the original King Kong?
