Harry Potter film likely to stay at top of box office

Critics have said that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is likely to retain its No1 slot at the US box office this weekend, making it three weeks in a row for the fantasy.

IMDb.com says that only one film - Paramount's Aeon Flux - is due to open nationwide this weekend, and that "website reviewers who previewed it...hated it."

Critic Brian Orndorf called the sci-fi thriller a "lazy blockbuster...that normally only rears its head on basic cable."
