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.

Yes, you do that. All I can say is that I'm not spending another cent of my tip money to see that tragedy on a stick. Thanks, but no thanks. I think I'd rather stick to "The Producers" if you don't mind. Speaking of which... "I'M WET! AND I'M HYSTERICAL!" Tehee. Mel Brooks rocks my socks. Sorry, off topic for the second time.

Very cool. It would be a really great news if the movie garners more money and beat the Prisoner of Azkaban. Well, I'm sure it will...after a few more weeks.

That is so cool, I'm so glad that GOF has reached that milestone. It really does deserve it, it was a great movie! And I think that it will once it's all said and done become the highest grossing Potter movie so far! It's also great that it still is in the top 10 after all the holiday movies that were released over the weeks and that is saying something.

It's such a huge movie...and there are a lot more fans now. i'm sure we're all just waiting/expecting it to be bigger than the others...and then we'll expect it to be that way when the fifth, sixth, and seventh come out!

I'm glad that Harry Potter is doing so well. I'm suprised the 4th hasn't beaten the 3rd though.

Wow! I'm so happy for GoF!!! I think it deserves the "highest-grossing movie" not the "second highest-grossing movie" !

I am certainly not surprised. They had a really big budget and it was obivious. It really not going to matter because I think that they all have the same producers.

Does the Prisoner total include DVD sales? If so, GOF will totally waste that by the time the video comes out!

Well, 'Prisoner of Azkaban' rocks! I liked PoA better than 'GoF', maybe because there weren't as many edits in PoA as much in GoF.
