Weekend box office

The prize for “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” turned out to be more magical than Warner Bros. predicted as the domestic weekend total rose to $102.3 million (from an estimate of $101.4 million) when actual figures came in Monday. At $2.9 million, the Imax portion of the total was about $100,000 higher than originally estimated. International figures also exceeded estimates, with “Goblet” taking in about $85.5 million in 19 countries (up from $80 million), bringing the worldwide total for the movie’s opening weekend to $187.8 million.
