Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets has now hit the $200m (£128.4m) mark 17 days after it was released, just missing out on breaking the first film's sales record by two days.
James Bond movie Die Another Day took the number one position in its opening week last week, but slipped to number two over the US Thanksgiving weekend.
According to box office tracker Exhibitor Relations, Harry Potter took $32.1m (£20.6m) over the three-day period and Die Another Day scooped $31m (£19.9m).
Disney's latest animated adventure Treasure Planet took a disappointing $11.9m (£7.6m) in its opening weekend, giving it fourth position.
It had been tipped as a potential Christmas winner but its first week performance was overshadowed by Tim Allen's The Santa Clause 2, which has moved up one place to number three.
