"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" became the best June box office opening ever, but fell short of hitting that magic $100 million mark for the weekend. Article:
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban has become the best June box office opening ever with a Friday to Sunday estimate of $92.6 million. Azkaban also beat the previous two Harry Potter weekends, Sorcerer's Stone opened to $90.2 mil while Chamber of Secrets opened to $88.3 mil.
This is what the article had to say: Quote: Nevertheless, with a Friday to Sunday estimate of $92.6 million, the third movie about the boy wizard smashed the previous June box office record set by "The Hulk" at $62 million last year. "Azkaban" also landed the third-best box office weekend of all time, just behind "Spider-Man's" $114.8 mil weekend and "Shrek 2's" recent $108 mil weekend.
Already, the darker and more scary "Potter" film set best first-day opening records, with Friday bringing in $41.2 mil. "Spider-Man's" opening day was $39.4 mil and "The Matrix Reloaded" reported a $42 mil opening day, but that included $5 mil from a previous night opening. Exhibitor Relations, which tracks box office receipts, says "Azkaban" has set records for the fourth-largest single day box office in history, behind the Saturday numbers for "Shrek 2," which hit $44.8 mil on its fourth day of release, and "Spider-Man's" second day of $43.6 mil.
"Azkaban" also beat the previous two "Harry Potter" weekends. The first, "Sorcerer's Stone" opened to $90.2 mil while "Chamber of Secrets" opened to $88.3 mil.
Meanwhile, "Shrek 2," which dropped nearly half in box office attendance, is now ranked at the 15th best grossing movie in history, at $313.6 mil in three weeks.
