Box Office Report - Nov 18-20, 2005
If anyone doubts the power of Harry Potter to lure people to theaters, they have only to check out the opening weekend numbers for "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." The ability to capture big bucks at the box office hasn't diminished one iota with the fourth installment of the "Harry Potter" franchise.

Online movie ticket site Fandango reports that it sold an estimated $12 million of the $102.3 million, accounting for almost 12% of the overall domestic ticket sales. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is now only second to "Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith" in advance tickets purchased through Fandango.
