Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," the second installment in the fantasy franchise based on J.K. Rowling (news - web sites)'s novels, took in $87.7 million, the third-best debut weekend ever, according to studio estimates Sunday.

"Chamber of Secrets" came in behind the record $114.8 million that "Spider-Man" grossed in its first three days last spring and the $90.3 million haul of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" a year ago.

Though "Chamber of Secrets" opened in a record 3,682 theaters on a record 8,515 screens, distributor Warner Bros. had not expected the movie to set revenue records. Anticipation had been greater for "Sorcerer's Stone" because it was the first big-screen adaptation of Rowling's tales, said Dan Fellman, Warner head of distribution.
