Harry Potter tops

Box Office Mojo declalres Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix the top-grossing film this weekend, with a take of more than $77.4 million and a per-theater average of $18,065.  Since opening on Wednesday, Potter has earned more than $140 million.

The rest of the Top Ten include Transformers ($36 million), Ratatouille ($18.019 million), Live Free or Die Hard ($10.875 million), License to Wed ($7.44 million ), 1408 ($5.01 million), Evan Almighty ($4.972 million), Sicko ($2.65 million), Ocean’s Thirteen ($1.91 million), Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer ($1.585 million), Captivity ($1.55 million), Pirates of the Caribbean ($1.402 million) and Evening ($1.154 million).

Next weekend, the big premiere is Hairspray, whose major special effect is John Travolta in a dress and a fat suit.  As long as Christopher Walken dances, I’m there.

  1. HA! I can't wait to see Harry Potter! But, I'm waiting until Monday for the lines to clear.

    1. Just saw it today. Pretty good. The 3rd one is still the best… at least I think so. Still, I'll be adding it to my stack of HP DVD's when it comes out. I can't wait to get the new book.

  2. Watching Christopher Walken dance. It's gotta be like listening to Kirk Douglas, Marlon Brando or Lee Marvin sing!

    1. No, Christopher Walken is actually a fantastic dancer. You can see him in the American Pennnies from Heaven (he's the best thing in it) as well as that music video a few years ago.

  3. I'm pretty sure Christopher Walken has it worked into his contract that he gets a dance scene in every movie he makes these days…
