The post title should rather read Harry Potter Un-Tangled, because that is what the young wizard has managed to do during the weekend. Get the better of Disney's Tangled! And how close was it? Very! By just about $1 million. Yeah, that is a small figure when you compare it with the $50 million that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 earned at the US box office in its second weekend. The total for the latest Harry Potter flick now goes up to $220 million in US after 10 days while numbers from worldwide ticket collections are still pouring in. Tangled put in solid numbers at $49 million at the US box office ($69 million for the first five days since the movie had a Thursday Thanksgiving Day release) though way short of Disney's other movie that was released this year, with Pixar of course - the unforgettable Toy Story 3 that had a $110 million opening weekend collection! The numbers are slightly better than the opening weekend collection of another animation flick that was released this month, Megamind, that takes the third spot. A few other movies were released during the weekend, including Love and Other Drugs starring Jake Gyllenhal and Anne Hathway, though it occupies a disappointing sixth position. The King's Speech had a limited opening at only four theatres, though it is a movie I am looking forward to watch and will not be surprised if it pops up among the Oscar contenders.
