Harry Potter begins what will be a three week run as the top movie in the country. This will also be the biggest box office weekend of the year, due solely to the boy (still?) wizard. About a month ago I would have said Next Three Days had the potential to debut in the high teens / low 20's, but now it might be lucky just to hit double digits. Suck it, Paul Haggis. Fair Game and 127 Hours will also go head to head to hit the ten spot. While screen counts aren't yet available for either, I'll give the edge to the Naomi/Valerie.
