Harry Potter toppled his competition this weekend at the box office and took in an impressive $77 million. That combined with the domestic earnings since its Wednesday release brings The Order of the Phoenix domestic movie earnings to $140 million. Combine that with the $190 million Harry Potter earned in another 44 countries and you have a juggernaut rolling through theaters. Transformers, which may or may not have included robots, dropped its earnings by roughly half this weekend to $36 million. If you’re looking for the other new release, Captivity, you won’t find it here in the top 10 box office earnings. Captivity earned just $1.5 million, putting it around the #12 spot this weekend. I guess torture / horror films aren’t doing as hot as the studios were hoping. Here they are, your box office movie earnings for this weekend: July 13 - 15, 2007.

I watched SICKO to see what the fuss is all about.
It was a real eye-opener. I think every American needs to watch this film and see where the Government is taking them.
