It is indeed better the second time. So much more is awesome the second time you see it because you can soak everything in more.

Agreed. I saw it again today, this time in 2D, and I enjoyed it much more. But the first ten minutes do go by very slowly.

It made &48,065,000 this weekend A whopping 71 percent drop .

Homer J. Fong · 07-24-2011, 01:36 PM

^I'm sure it's (A) because most of the people who wanted to see it did last weekend, and (B) because Captain America just opened. I was a little bummed out to read about the drop, but hey, it's not like this hurts their chances of making more Harry Potter movies.

chaseter · 07-24-2011, 01:37 PM

That is a big drop but I was expecting it to make 50-60 it's second weekend so it's not that terrible. Event movies always have huge drop offs. Plus, when a movie makes $170 million in 3 days, haha it's going to have a large drop the next weekend.

It should cross $300 million domestic this week as well as cross $1 billion worldwide this week...which is amazing.

Still if wom was better anything less than 60 million is bad . The percentage drop was larger than Green Lantern

Homer J. Fong · 07-24-2011, 01:42 PM

Word of mouth has been great, though, as far as I know or have experienced.

What is better:

a) A movie that makes $170 million it's first weekend and has a 71% drop the second weekend.

or

b) A movie that makes $40 million it's first weekend and has a 50% drop the second weekend.

Some people mistake percentages as based on legs/wom. A movie that makes $5 million opening weekend and then $4 million it's second weekend technically has fantastic legs. But, what if it cost $30 million to make? What if it didn't have any real competition it's second weekend? There are a lot of factors to take into account to determine the success of a film. Harry Potter made back it's budget opening weekend. It's going to cross $1 billion worldwide in around 14 days. That is a huge success.

Drizzle · 07-24-2011, 02:03 PM

A 71% drop from a $168 million opening weekend is nothing to fret over. Most movies don't even reach $48 million in their opening weekend.

Potter did have good WOM but basically any casual fan with an interest saw it last weekend along with the hardcore fans. I mean I really enjoyed the movie but I didn't tell anyone whose only seen a couple of the movies or none to go see it because they'd be lost unless they got a crash course on the series.

This % drop is super inflated due to the huge fan rush on OW, this movie is just acting like a regular Potter movie now.

Thundercrack85 · 07-24-2011, 02:25 PM

Not like it matters. The first part made a billion dollars, and there isn't going to be another movie.

It's opening weekend was also 3x's that of GL. What's your point?

If a movie can make 170 mil in 3 days (not to mention 40 mil in midnight showings), a 70% drop the following weekend isn't THAT big of a deal.

This is a similar pattern compared to the Potter movies anyway.

Iceman · 07-24-2011, 02:34 PM

The drops don't matter when everyone's already seen your film lol.

Oh no. Now they may not make a sequel.

Oh, wait.

Seriously. It's made $834 million worldwide in just over a week. The entire series has made more than $7 billion.

The only place it goes from here is up.

Marvolo · 07-24-2011, 04:09 PM

$834.5 million in 10 days!!! That is amazing!

Happy Jack · 07-24-2011, 04:11 PM

Saw the movie last night. I quite enjoyed it, even though I've only had a passing interest in the series.

Holy moly close to a Billion already

Avenger · 07-24-2011, 06:20 PM

The drop is just because everyone went out to see it during its OW, not because people hated it. Nothing to fret about.

POWdER-man · 07-25-2011, 11:30 AM

I watched the movie last night in 3D and just LOVED every moment of it. It was bittersweet since this was the last movie though.

**danoyse** · 07-25-2011, 12:54 PM

Universal Orlando is having a "Celebration of the Harry Potter Films" week in November, and apparently part of the swag if you buy the vacation package is a blu-ray HP box set.

Maybe that's the tentative blu-ray/DVD release date for DH2?

Here are the details, sounds pretty cool. If I wasn't already going back next year, I'd be tempted:

If Ralph Fiennes would be there I would so go!

chaseter · 07-25-2011, 01:07 PM

I think I am going to go danoyse! Thanks for the info! I have been wanting to go and well I guess that seals the deal. A chance to meet the cast, get the entire bluray package (which you know is going to cost well over $100, and finally see the park. Now to find someone to go with bwahahahhahaha.

It sounds like an awesome deal. And the park is a blast, you'll have a great time!

One of my friends works with this Disney travel group, and they've got the place rented out for a night in December. Two of my friends are going to do that.

If I didn't already have a big family trip planned to Universal and Disney next year, I'd be going to one of these myself.
