It took a week, but Rapunzel has finally bested Harry Potter. During the second weekend of its release, Tangled has commanded the box office lead over Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. On the weekend after Thanksgiving, which is historically an extremely slow movie weekend, Tangled earned $21.5 million to Harrys $16.7 million, and had a much smaller drop in revenue than its competition. The weekends totals place the Tangled domestic earnings at $96.5 million after twelve days in theatres. Strong word of mouth may be responsible the success of Tangled during its second weekend. Whatever the reason, Disney is enjoying its first hit independent of Pixar in almost a decade. Tangled has also opened in 15 markets abroad, and has grossed $45.8 million outside of the US to date.
