This week Harry Potter came in at number one
grossing $101.4 million in its debut weekend, the best results yet for the
franchise, according to studio estimates released Sunday. "Goblet of Fire"
was the fourth-best, three-day opening weekend ever, behind "Spider-Man"
at $114.8 million in 2002 and "Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith"
and "Shrek 2," at $108 million apiece. Last year at this time "National
Treasure" was No. 1 with $35.1 million.
The movie that relived the fabulous fifties with Johnny Cash came in at
number two. Not bad in a weekend with Potter in the mix.
