I am not one of the millions who helped fill the seats and the box office for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”, but I plan on doing so soon. It seems the movie did okay with out my $9 contribution though.
The film brought in $79.5 million Friday-Sunday, which raises total earnings since Wednesday to $159.7. WOW! Who was seeing this film exactly? According to the Hollywood Reporter 57% female, with 40% of audiences under 18.
Executives definitely seem pleased with the numbers.
"I love this opening," Warners domestic distribution boss Dan Fellman said. "The first five days of this picture were bigger than the opening week of any other Harry Potter movie."
Reviews for the film, from what I can tell, seem to be all over the place. Some thought it was lame, some loved it, some thought it was the best Harry Potter film yet. What were your thoughts? Did the film deserve such fat opening numbers? I can’t wait to see the other numbers this film rakes in.
