US Box Office
Magic rules at the box office, as the boy, pardon me, dude wizard already, conjures its biggest opener in the series with $101.4 million. Almost $10 million ahead of the Azkaban chapter, makes this a fourth place of the biggest openers yet (Spidey, SWIII and Shrek 2 make the top 3).
A very distant second, is Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, singing some $22.4 million into the cash register.
Chicken Little drops two places, with this week’s $14.8 the cume stands at $99.2. Derailed and Zathura are neck and neck, rounding off the top 5 with resp. $6.53 million and $5.1 million.
