I was thinking Zathura myself, which is down a very soft 72% from last friday. Nice take for Walk The Line. Potter's a bit of a bomb, only the #6 highest opening day. Pfft.

someone's sarcasm detector is busted. Here's a helpful hint. I don't think any of the post are even remotely serious. Not even the first one's numbers.

What a weak opening for Potter. Poor Daniel Radcliffe, he'll never find work again. 
Maybe if we're lucky, Warner might do a direct-to-video sequel; and at this rate, I don't care if it has an entirely new cast or if it's all animated. I want more Potter stories on film.

Wow. Looks like Harry Potter has a chance to beat Episode III's 3-day opening. Looks as though Spider-man's $114 million opening weekend is safe and has been now 3+ years. Unless Harry Potter has a mega huge Saturday, along the $45 million range.

No you don't. In fact, this proves you have a good sense of humor.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Harry Potter match at least Friday the 13th's number of sequels. Odds are the franchise will finally dry up around 2019 with the film's eleventh installment, a direct-to-video feature in which a 27 year old Harry Potter, played by Jon Stewart, goes undercover for the FBI as a high school student, all in an attempt to see if the latest killer from the Saw franchise is actually Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

Of course, I may be wrong about Rowling. I can't say for sure.
