Ok what did we learn this weekened. When it came to the battle of Book # 7 vs. movie number 5, US fans of the boy wizard opted to curl up with a good book this weekend. Although fans still supported the film domestically to the tune of 32 million +, it was edged out of the number one slot by the Adam Sandler comedy, I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry. Potter books meanwhile virtually evaporated from shelves around the US as more than 8 million copies sold in the first 24 hours alone.

Overseas, however, Potter had no problem holding onto the top spot as it raced to a mind boggling 352 million dollars(559 million world wide)after just 12 days.

New openings this week include I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry with Adam Sandler and Kevin James. It should top the boxoffice charts for this weekend with HP and transformers coming in not far behind. Also debuting is Sunshine the new Space Based Danny Boyle sci-fi film with Chris Evans, Maggie Q and Cillian Murphy. If you are looking for a little break from the summer of the return of the boxoffice monsters, you might want to check out an offbeat comedy called cashback the will go into limitied release( if you can find it. They are not kidding when they say limited).
It features insomnia, overnight shift, supermarket workers, half naked women. What's not to love.
