    		IN the UK it's the HP film "Goblet of Fire"

    The latest Harry Potter movie has become the most successful film in UK cinema history, making £14.9m in three days, according to its distributor. Warner Bros Pictures says the film beat the final Star Wars movie, Revenge of the Sith, which took the same amount but over four days earlier this year. The company says the Potter film has taken $181.4m (£105.3m) since it opened in 21 countries on Friday.

    That web page also confirms the above post re "Spider-Man":

    Spider-Man holds the all-time US record, having taken $115m (£66.8m) in 2002, while Revenge of the Sith began with $108.4m (£63m) earlier this year, just ahead of Shrek 2's $108m (£62.7m).

    		the above answers only answer what these movies took in, the question deals with PROFIT. I am thinking that it was Blair Witch that made the most profit. I know they hold the overall profit record
