Weekend Box Office: The Goblet of $$$

Wow. Now, I knew that this latest Harry Potter film would bring in the dough this weekend, and I've heard it's a great movie. Shoot, the trailers made me want to see the film, and I've not seen the other three! Well, Potter and the gang from Hogwarts worked a little magic this weekend, bringing in a projected $101.4 million over a 3-day period. For perspective, last weekends top film, Chicken Little, brought in $32 million. Never underestimate the power of Potter!
