It always was going to have a limited audience because you had to watch the previous 7 movies to see it. It was not by any means a stand

alone film.  So it figures to make in the ballpark of the previous film, but was likely to be super-frontloaded because the fans were so excited to see it.  It's only hope for a larger box office than past films (which I think it will get to some degree) is repeat viewings.  It's not likely to pick up new fans at this point.

I've seen some crazy things in my time playing this game but a 72% drop for a well-reviewed Harry Potter movie takes the cake TheWeekendWarrior Jul 24, 06:01

To be honest, I was looking at your figures all week.... VictorY Jul 24, 06:04

Thanks... Potter just evaded me completely but I did know that Captain America was going to do better than tracking. TheWeekendWarrior Jul 24, 06:12

You were so right, in fact, you were the closest to "Captain," among the ones I read... Solid call. {nm} VictorY Jul 24, 06:15

I was speaking with a couple of undergraduates yesterday, friends and fans of the Potter books, and they were almost furious about the film. second gary Jul 24, 07:43

Disagree about Captain America being a known quantity. I'd even bet that many would recognize the shield and character just by image alone. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 24, 07:45

Most would recognize the shield on its own. You don't get to be a 70 year old comic by not being known. ;) {nm} Dorfman Jul 24, 07:54

The other comic properties I named all made it to TV series, and I attribute their being well-known to crossing over. second gary Jul 24, 08:01

Captain America did have a movie. lol course it was a tv movie... 2 tv movies Dorfman Jul 24, 09:56

U mention Wonder Woman... DC did a better job of marketing their heroes for tv series. remember the Super Friends? lol {nm} Dorfman Jul 24, 09:58

Found an interesting link. Captain America Cartoon that never happened. Promo Reel at bottom of article Dorfman Jul 24, 10:02

I think Potter evaded most everybody {nm} Dorfman Jul 24, 10:04

When you take out the midnight, the drop is similar to what HP3 experienced, so not really totally unforeseen xiayun Jul 24, 11:29

A front-loaded finale? Unheard of! :) {nm} SparkleMotion Jul 24, 12:43
