After just one week, the most popular book series in this generation lost its top spot on the box office charts with the 6th adaption fromt he series. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince debuted last week a top the box office charts, but fell to second place behind the animated guinea pigs of “G-Force”.

Harry Potter #6 is still on pace to become the second highest grossing film from the book series so they aren’t hurting any . Should be plenty to finally get an auto insurance quote for Mr. Weasley’s flying car.

“G-Force,” a Disney live action and computer-generated animation family feature, earned $32.1 million in the United States and Canada, pushing “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” down to second place with $30 million in its second weekend.

The sixth movie in the boy wizard franchise dropped 61 percent from its huge opening last weekend — a fall-off that was in line with studio expectations — but is still on course for becoming the second biggest Potter movie so far, distributors Warner Bros said.

Internationally, “Half-Blood Prince” raked in $84.4 million in 64 countries over the weekend to take its worldwide total so far to $627.1 million.
