Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I

The Chronicles of Narnia may not have the same box office power as the Harry Potter franchise, but an unimpressive $24.5 million was still enough for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader to take the crown. Bad reviews for The Tourist put a damper on the power of Jolie and Depp, as their film debuted in second with $17 million. Tangled slid to third place with $14.6 million, pushing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I down to fourth with $8.5 million. Fifth place went to Unstoppable with $3.7 million.

Black Swan continued to pick up momentum in limited release, taking in $3.3 million across only 90 screens for sixth place. The film is expected to pick up even more steam when it goes wide on Dec. 22.

Rapunzel's hair really must be magical: Disney's Tangled came in first at the box office this weekend with $21.5 million, toppling the two-week champ, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I. It was a close battle last week between the two films, but Tangled was the victor this week, beating Harry Potter's $16.7 million haul.

In third place, we have a tie: Christina Aguilera's musical Burlesque rivaled the Denzel Washington action flick Unstoppable, which each pulled in $6.1 million. And rounding out the top five is the pharmaceutical-fueled romantic comedy Love and Other Drugs, which made $5.7 million.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I clung on to its title as box office champion, taking in $70.8 million over the five-day holiday weekend. Disney's new animated adventure, Tangled nipped at its heels with $69 million, marking it as the second biggest Thanksgiving premiere of all time.

Third place went to another family film, as Megamind took in $17.6 million, followed by Christina Aguilera's Burlesque with $17.2 million. Unstoppable rounded out the top five with $16.2 million. Even gratuitous amounts of nudity couldn't help Love and Other Drugs, which took in $14 million.

I've been slowly getting into the holiday spirit by rolling out my gift guides, but let's not forget there's still Thanksgiving to look forward to before December madness sets in. If you need some help gearing up to give thanks, you might want to head to the theater: this month's offerings seem rife for making you appreciate things that you could be taking for granted. Here's the lowdown on five November movies that will make you feel thankful.

   What it's about: The final chapter begins as Harry, Ron, and Hermione prepare to battle the Dark Lord in a war of good vs. evil.

Two more movies after the jump.

We all saw this one coming, but Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I tore up the box office in its debut weekend, taking in a staggering $125.1 million. Those numbers earned the film the sixth-highest opening weekend of all time, and was the best debut for the franchise to date. Last week's champ, Megamind, settled for a distant second place with $16.1 million.

Unstoppable took third with $13.1 million, followed by Due Date with $9.1 million. Rounding out the top five was newbie The Next Three Days, which clocked in at $6.7 million. With a holiday weekend on the horizon, I'm expecting Potter to add to its impressive tally — what will you be seeing over the Thanksgiving break?

It's going to be a big weekend at the movies! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I is taking over theaters (one guess as to who will be No. 1 at the box office), but for those filmgoers looking for an alternate option, The Next Three Days debuts as well.
