BOX OFFICE

There’s a lot of green for the red, white and blue.

‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ took the number one spot at the box office this weekend, with a haul of $65.8 million.

That puts the Chris Evans vehicle on track to be the summer’s biggest superhero movie.

BOX OFFICE

In a fitting finale, Harry Potter’s magic is making box office records disappear.

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2′ made $168.6 million in its opening weekend, which was the biggest Friday-Sunday in movie history. ‘The Dark Knight’ earned $158.4 million in its debut.

The staggering sum comes after Harry made nearly $100 million on its first day, which is just plain ridiculous.

To put the wizardry in perspective, the movie earned roughly eight times what (second place) ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ – the year’s biggest movie – banked this weekend.

The Kevin James animal romp ‘Zookeeper’ secured third place with $21 million. What did you see this weekend?
