"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" earned $159.7 million in the United States and Canada, the sixth-biggest opening for a five-day period, distributor Warner Bros. Pictures said on Sunday.
In North America, the new film outpaced its predecessor, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which opened to $139.7 million two years ago. That picture ended with $938 million worldwide, the seventh-biggest movie of all time before accounting for inflation.
1. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - $79.5 ($159.7 million)
2. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs - $17.7 million ($152.0 million)
3. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - $13.8 million ($363.9 million)
4. Bruno - $8.4 million ($49.6 million)
5. The Hangover - $8.3 million ($235.9 million)
Harry Potter cast a spell over moviegoers worldwide as the sixth entry in the fantasy franchise set a new opening record of $396.7 million, a clear sign that the lucrative franchise has lost none of its magic.
