Rowling in dough. In its second week in North American theaters, the boy wizard’s pre-finale won both the usual Friday-to-Sunday weekend, with $50.3 million, and the full five-day turkey trot, with $78.8 million, according to early studio estimates. In their first 10 days, Harry, Hermione and Ron have earned $220.4 million, or about $10 million less than Edward, Bella and Jacob bit off in the same period last year for _The Twilight Saga: Eclipse_. Like the _Twilight_ films, _DH1_ has racked up the majority of its revenue abroad: its worldwide total has already flown past the $600 million mark. Never underestimate the lure of teen trios with magical powers. But as an overachiever, _Tangled_ takes the prize. An arduous six years in production, with numerous directors and reimagineerings — and a final budget in the $260 million range, which may make it the costliest animated feature ever — this makeover of the Grimm brothers’ Rapunzel story was seen as just another old-fashioned Disney film: plucky heroine, romantic dude, cute critters and a full sheaf of songs from composer Alan Menken. That recipe hadn’t created box office magic in decades, not since _The Little Mermaid_ and _Beauty and the Beast_. Industry touts forecast another Disney disappointment, like last year’s _The Princess and the Frog_, and predicted that _Tangled_ would earn a modest $40 million to $50 million over the five days. Instead, the picture amassed a fairy-tale $69 million, for the second biggest Thanksgiving week opening, after the $80.1 million for _Toy Story 2_ in 1999\. The gross was stoked by higher ticket prices from theaters showing it in 3-D, and also by a rapturous A-plus from CinemaScore’s polling of people who’d just seen the movie, which suggests that word of mouth will sustain _Tangled_‘s popularity during the holiday season. Hoping to broaden the audience from tween girls to guys and gals of all ages, Disney switched the movie’s title from _Rapunzel_ to _Tangled_ and aired commercials that emphasized the supporting male role. Still, the audience for the first week was 65% female. Then again, what’s so bad about girl power when it plays into the Mouse House’s vaunted strategy of synergy? As Disney Channel teen star Kyle Massey got weeks of golden exposure vamping his way to second place in the latest edition of _Dancing with the Stars_, so _Tangled_ will have little girls pestering their parents for Christmas gifts of Rapunzel gowns, tiaras and possibly hair extensions. _Burlesque_, another new musical aimed at females, served up a dueling-diva battle with Cher, 64, in a big picture for the first time since 1990’s _Mermaids_, and former pop hottie Christina Aguilera, 29\. The project seems to be at least a decade out of date. As Deadline Hollywood blogger Nikki Finke mused this weekend, “Why anybody bothered to make _Burlesque_ or give it such a wide release might be a mystery. Until it’s revealed that Screen Gems chief Clint Culpepper greenlighted his boyfriend’s $55+ million passion project. (Their on-set strife over budget, schedule and creative decisions resulted in the most expensive film in Screen Gems history, and word is they’re now broken up after 20 years. Awkward.)” _Burlesque_ opened a bit short of its predicted $20 million goal, taking in $17.2 million over the first five days. Nearly 70% of those attending were women, with the film reaping an A-minus CinemaScore overall, and another A-minus from the six or eight men questioned — perhaps while their wives, girlfriends or beaux were hovering proprietarily nearby. With no singing but a good deal of moaning in the ballyhooed lovemaking scenes, _Love & Other Drugs_ took the scraps from the female contingent, earning $14 million in its five-day opening. Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal may make a handsome pair of bedmates, but they’re not the biggest box office tandem; and as we’ve noted before, the promise of onscreen sex repels audiences from theaters, rather than attracting them. (People wait for the DVD and watch intimate scenes at home.) As for _Faster_, the only new movie appealing to men, it managed a tepid $12.2 million. The R-rated action film stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who has become so typecast in big-guy-babysitter comedies — 2007’s _The Game Plan_ earned $90.6 million at the domestic box office, while this year’s _Tooth Fairy_ earned $60 million — that his core demographic may have forgotten he was once the charismatic king of pro wrestling. Another monarch reigned in the indie-film realm. _The King’s Speech_, the inspirational true-life tale of the stammering King George VI (Colin Firth) and his elocution teacher (Geoffrey Rush), opened in four theaters in New York City and Los Angeles and earned a regal $349,791, for a year-highest $87,448 per-screen average. Ever since its exposure at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals in September, the movie has been widely picked as a major player in the forthcoming Oscar race. Harvey Weinstein, who in his Miramax days promoted three films (_The English Patient_, _Shakespeare in Love_ and _Chicago_) on their way to winning the Academy Award for Best Picture, is surely hoping that, by Oscar night, viewers will have forgotten the girl with the tangled hair and remember only the man with the twisted tongue. Here are the 10 top-grossing pictures in North American theaters, as reported by Box Office Mojo. We list the estimated totals for both the weekend (Friday-Sunday) and the five-day Thanksgiving frame (Wednesday-Sunday). 1\. _Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1_, $50.3 million weekend, $78.8 million five days; $220.4 million, second week 2\. _Tangled_, $49.1 million weekend, $69 million five days; first week 3\. _Megamind_, $12.5 million weekend, $17.6 million five days; $130.5 million, fourth week 4\. _Burlesque_, $11.8 million weekend, $17.2 million five days; first week 5\. _Unstoppable_, $11.7 million weekend, $16.2 million five days; $60.7 million, third week 6\. _Love & Other Drugs_, $9.85 million weekend, $14 million five days; first week 7\. _Faster_, $8.7 million weekend, $12.2 million five days; first week 8\. _Due Date_, $7.3 million weekend, $10.4 million five days; $85 million, fourth week 9\. _The Next Three Days_, $4.8 million weekend, $6.6 million five days; $14.5 million, second week 10\. _Morning Glory_, $4 million weekend, $5.5 million five days; $26.5 million, third week [See TIME’s Pictures of the Week.](https://www.time.com/time/picturesoftheweek) [See the Cartoons of the Week.](https://www.time.com/time/cartoonsoftheweek) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/archive/6911253/box-office-harry-potter-gets-tangled-up/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/archive/6911253/box-office-harry-potter-gets-tangled-up/"},"headline":"Box Office: Harry Potter Gets Tangled Up","datePublished":"2010-11-28T05:00:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-22T16:23:16.277Z","description":"When Harry met Hairy, the whole family showed up.
