( EW.com ) -- In a surprisingly close race , `` Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 1 '' held on to its box-office crown Friday by grossing $ 20.8 million , according to early estimates . That 's a 66 percent drop from the fantasy film 's opening last Friday , which was inflated due to an enormous turnout at Thursday midnight screenings . If `` Deathly Hallows '' follows the Thanksgiving trajectory of `` Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire '' -- the last Potter film to open in November -- the PG-13 movie should finish the weekend with about $ 50 million . That would bring `` Deathly Hallows ' '' 10-day tally to $ 220 million , making it the 10th greatest 10-day gross in box-office history and the best ever for a Potter flick . But Friday was n't only a celebration for wizards , as Disney 's animated musical `` Tangled '' came in close behind with $ 19.7 million . The PG movie , which debuted Wednesday , has grossed $ 39.7 million so far , and has a shot at overtaking `` Deathly Hallows '' for the three-day weekend . If that happens , it 'd be due to one reason : incredible word-of-mouth . CinemaScore audiences rated the fairy-tale film an `` A+ '' -- the first movie this year to garner the rare grade . Even more impressive is the fact that while moviegoers under the age of 25 rated `` Tangled '' an `` A , '' those over the age of 25 gave it an `` A+ . '' Clearly this retelling of Rapunzel is delivering for all age groups , and when that happens , watch out . `` Tangled '' is on pace to finish second this weekend with about $ 47 million , but again , it could very well upset Potter for first place . Seems the lesson here is : Never underestimate a woman with ridiculously long hair . The next five films are fairly clumped together , and their positions could swap by Sunday night . DreamWorks Animation 's `` Megamind '' came in third on Friday , grossing $ 5.3 million for an actual increase of 41 percent from last week . In fourth place was the action thriller `` Unstoppable , '' which gained 13 percent from last week for $ 4.6 million . After that were this week 's three other new releases . The Cher-Christina Aguilera musical `` Burlesque '' fared best , bringing in $ 4.5 million on Friday . Despite mediocre reviews , audiences liked the PG-13 film -- CinemaScore moviegoers graded it an `` A-. '' . The R-rated romantic comedy `` Love and Other Drugs , '' starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway , was next in sixth place with $ 3.8 million . And `` Faster , '' Dwayne Johnson 's return to the action genre , rounded out the top seven with $ 3.2 million . 1 . Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 1 -- $ 20.8 mil . 2 . Tangled -- $ 19.7 mil . 3 . Megamind -- $ 5.3 mil . 4 . Unstoppable -- $ 4.6 mil . 5 . Burlesque -- $ 4.5 mil . 6 . Love and Other Drugs -- $ 3.8 mil . 7 . Faster -- $ 3.2 mil .
