The box-office results for the latest Harry Potter settled for $16.7 million, and second place. Its reign at No. 1 lasted two weeks, so, yes, that's over, but it's still conjuring huge numbers, so, no, it's not over. Worldwide, the film has grossed more than $620 million in just 17 days.
Elsewhere, Portman's demented dance movie, Black Swan ($1.4 million), went crazy in limited release, nearly cracking the Top 10 despite showing at only 18 theaters. All in all, a great start, and a fine way to keep your name, and your movie, in the Oscar discussion.
Carrey's and McGregor's long-delayed I Love You, Phillip Morris did OK at six theaters ($113,000). In another weekend, its per-screen average might have impressed, but not in a weekend of Black Swan and The King's Speech ($326,000 at six theaters).
The only new major release, The Warrior's Way, wasn't so major: The Kate Bosworth ninja movie—make that, the last Kate Bosworth ninja movie—opened in ninth place with just $3.1 million.
Morning Glory ($1.8 million; $29.1 million overall) dropped out of the Top 10 way shy of matching its reported $40 million budget.
As for the weekend's burning question: Burlesque—did it bomb yet?
