NUMBER 1 Young wizard Harry Potter conjured up $92.7 million (around Rs 418 crore) worth of ticket sales in three days at the North American box office with his latest film “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” setting a new opening record for the hit franchise.
AND TWO: The box office champ for the last two weekends, “Shrek 2,” slipped to No. 2 with $37 million. The computer-animated fable passed $300 million (Rs 1,353 crore), beating the record of 22 days held by “Spider-Man.”
