The US Daily (among many other sites) is reporting that Half-Blood Prince’s 5 day total for ticket sales is $159.7 million.

But while “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” crushed its rivals at the box office, the wizard fantasy failed to match the performance of the year’s biggest movie, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” which earned $201 million during its first five days last month.

It outpaced its predecessor, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” whose five-day tally came in at $139.7 million two years ago. That movie ended up making $938 million worldwide, making it the seventh-biggest movie of all time before accounting for inflation.
