Harry Potter ruled. Brüno met a moment of Doom.

The weekend box office was the domain of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which followed up its big Wednesday opening with a big $79.5 million Friday-Sunday, per estimates, and pushed its overall take to $159.7 million.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Brüno, meanwhile, saw ticket sales plunge 73 percent from last weekend, a drop that put the comedy in the inglorious company of all-time freefallers such as The Real Cancun, The Adventures of Pluto Nash and video-game bust, Doom.
