Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince only lasted one week at the top of the box office charts, but appears to still be on pace to be the second highest grossing screen adaption in the franchise.
The Half-Blood Prince seems to be the favorite of many Potter fans that I have talked to. I still like The Deathly Hallows the best. I love the journey of the 3 in the last book. Half-Blood is probably my 2nd, or 3rd favorite. It is a pretty interesting book as well with the whole look at the history of "You Know Who". It is also the one with the biggest internet spoilers ever. So much so that it actually became a meme at one point.
The movie that took over at the top spot this week is an animated tale of 3 guinea pigs that I wouldn't know from a motorcycle jack. "G-Force," a Disney live action and computer-generated animation family feature, earned $32.1 million in the United States and Canada, pushing "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" down to second place with $30 million in its second weekend.
The sixth movie in the boy wizard franchise dropped 61 percent from its huge opening last weekend -- a fall-off that was in line with studio expectations -- but is still on course for becoming the second biggest Potter movie so far, distributors Warner Bros said.
Internationally, "Half-Blood Prince" raked in $84.4 million in 64 countries over the weekend to take its worldwide total so far to $627.1 million.
