'Captain America' Steals a Little Bit of the 'Harry Potter' Magic


Fine, fine, you can rub it in, my dear Harry Potter has been pushed out of the number one spot. I have to admit it, I haven't actually seen Captain America yet, but I hope to this week.


Based on studio estimates, Captain America made $65.8 million, only $100,000 ahead of May's Thor. In second place was my beloved Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 made another $48 million, bringing it's domestic total to $274.4 and it's worldwide total to $834,582,000. I hate to jinx it, but it is highly unlikely that this film won't cross the billion dollar mark, especially after it opens in China next month.


Here's how the rest of the weekend went down (in millions):


1. Captain America: The First Avenger - $65.8
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - $48.1
3. Friends with Benefits - $18.5 mil
4. Transformers: Dark of the Moon - $12
5. Horrible Bosses - $11.7
6. Zookeeper - $8.7
7. Cars 2 - $5.7
8. Winnie the Pooh - $5.1
9. Bad Teacher - $2.6
10. Midnight in Paris - $1.9
