Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Movie Poster

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," the fifth in the "Harry Potter" saga (out of seven) to make it to the big screen, opened to spectacular business - two days ahead of schedule, July 11, 2007. In its first five days in theaters, the Hogwarts gang scared up over $140 million at the box office, knocking last week's #1 movie, "Transformers," to #2. At #3, the Disney/Pixar film "Ratatouille." It should be noted, that thus far this summer movie season that began with the release of "Spiderman 3," only 2 movies have been able to retain their #1 spot at the box office for two weeks - "Spiderman 3" and "Pirates 3." No movie has been #1 one for more than two weekends this summer, so far. Will "Harry Potter 5" be the one?

Find out which movies - and there are nearly 20, so far - this year have taken in over $100 million at the box office***
