With the kind of reviews I've read for this one I think it will clean up this weekend and next- I'd be suprised if the saturday numbers aren't stronger than Fridays' numbers.

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

I'll definitely be checking out the new Harry Potter in a few weeks. I've only seen the first one, but I own all 3 on dvd. By the time I get to those, the crowds should be fairly small for the new film. Very impressive opening. Though I'm surprised it dropped almost 10% on Saturday.

Sweet # for Harry. Besides Kong there will be much less competition for GOF than Azkaban had last year with it's summer release. Almost every other movie in the top 10 dropped 50-60%+ from last week.

Apparently the Friday # for Potter got revised, and now stands at $39.5m.

Fri's numbers include the Thurs midnight showings. It's expected that Sat would drop some. The last HP dropped 18% on it's Sat.

I called it surprising because movies with similarly huge fan bases, Episode III, Spider-man 2, and Return of the King, didn't drop on their first Saturday. I know it will make a ton of money, but I thought this one would have had a Saturday increase.

Yup. I thought that this was the case as well. Crazy bitches, trying to save their ass from the shame of only $101m.

Spider-man 2 - 1st day (Wed) = $40.4 mil, 1st Saturday = $33.7 mil
LotR: Return of the King - 1st day (Wed) = $34.5 mil, 1st Saturday = $27.5 mil
SW Episode III - 1st day (Thu) = $50.0 mil, 1st Saturday = $40.7 mil

Nice to see it did well. I think that this will do well again next weekend with Thanksgiving and being the thing families want to go see. I also see Walk the Line maintaining with the older audience, as my showing was chock full of people over forty and fifty.
