lol...been there huh? :) {nm} tealfan Jul 06, 19:06

wowser..."Audience surveys hint that the final movie about the boy wizard could come close to the opening weekend record, currently held by lobogotti Jul 06, 19:46

Even a 130M opening would make it a 3M long. {nm} second gary Jul 06, 19:53

oh yeah, the .OW and the current stock are quite underpriced in my humble opinion. i still don't think it can beat TDK OW though... lobogotti Jul 06, 19:58

It ain't gonna get near 158.4 of TDK. That's blasphemy mang. {nm} lhayes37 Jul 06, 20:41

$150m opening won't surprise me {nm} xiayun Jul 06, 20:08

certainly would welcome it, but I truly hope it doesn't take TDK down for the best OW {nm} lobogotti Jul 06, 20:43

Well, look at it this way, Bruce Wayne can be gracious and let Harry have the title for a year before he snatches it back again next year. {nm} Paul2k Jul 06, 21:21

that's the only way I'll be satisfied, should Harry take the crown! lobogotti Jul 06, 21:27

Doesn't Batman return the week after Spiderman does next summer? I don't know if any records will be set with that competition! {nm} RoBoGuru Jul 07, 09:06

Actually, Spidey opens 2 weeks before the bat.... {nm} RoBoGuru Jul 07, 09:12

+1 {nm} lobogotti Jul 06, 21:27

not kidding when I say this, HPOT8 would most likely need 82M opening day to hit 165M OW. around 86M to reach 175M OW. lobogotti Jul 06, 21:38

Why does HPOT8 need an opening day 10 to 20m higher than almost any other? TDK only did 67mil Opening day. What HPOT needs is not to Dorfman Jul 06, 22:22

Because it will certainly be more midnight heavy than TDK xiayun Jul 06, 23:04

xiayun said it well. HPOT8 midnights are going to be massive. a lot of those films opened on a Wed, but the last one gave us a great lobogotti Jul 07, 04:34

Because this movie is the last one. The last chance to see HPOT on the big screen... Dorfman Jul 07, 06:19

ooops sorry 38% {nm} Dorfman Jul 07, 06:20

no, I think the opening will be higher, just not high enough to beat TDK. it will have a big percent drop on Sat, maybe not 38%, but it lobogotti Jul 07, 07:01

So do you think it will make its BB Warrant of 300m? {nm} Dorfman Jul 07, 09:23

This is the last movie of a 9 film franchise of a childrens book megaempire. The first 8 movies have made a total of $6,343,865,842!!! Dorfman Jul 06, 21:09

didn't say it wasn't possible. it certainly could, but that record wasn't easily achieved by any means. lobogotti Jul 06, 21:30

I'm doubtful. but i think it may be close {nm} Dorfman Jul 06, 22:08

all this discussion already...Harry Potter weekend is gonna be fun on the boards :) {nm} tealfan Jul 06, 22:07
