$160 million in 5 days

Another weekend complete, another truck load of money raked in by at least one film. I’m sure everyone is aware of the huge release of HARRY POTTER and the HALF BLOOD PRINCE. It opened Wednesday and took in a fairly sizable amount for a Wednesday opening. Now, the final numbers won’t be in until tomorrow, but tonight’s estimates are usually very close. And of course, it doesn’t take an ingenious box office analyst to tell you that HARRY POTTER would be the victor of this weekend’s take. Here is the rundown…
