New Releases Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Okay this week since Harry Potter opens on Wed that pick will be doubled. So, post your Harry Potter 5 day guesses no later than Wed at midnight EST. Everything else is 3 days and you can predict it normally on Friday.

Harry Potter HBP - $149.72 M

O_o *stab in the dark again*

[Jedi Master Carr]

Way too low for its five days
Here is my prediction
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 163.44.

Remember OOTP made 144 over 5 days and for some reason the hype is bigger this time. The midnights are selling faster than every film but The Dark Knight. I think the two year wait and the fact the books are done are helping do that.

I had to up it after seeing it last night of course that could be the wrong decision lol.

[Xavier Synik]

Harry Potter: 165.30 M

[CMJ]

1. Half Blood Prince - 155.96M

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yeah but do we count the midnight shows?

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah but do we count the midnight shows?

Yep, they are part of Wed's gross.

[Ryan Pode]

Hp6: 173.45m

[Jedi Master Carr]

Wow HBP topped TDK's midnights

Not sure what it means yet because the Potter fans always rush out. I think it will do 150+ at least. I think this one has a good chance at topping 300 million.

[Crusader]

168.57 Hp:hbp

[Yog]

1. Harry Potter HBP - 177.75M

[Liam Jinn]

1. Harry Potter - $180.01M

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well at least I am not the one going over the top :P I would love to see it making over 165 but don't see it happening, we shall see. Who knows I guess anything is possible.

[Liam Jinn]

Go big or go HOME! :p

I just don't want this to end up like last year when The Dark Knight came out, I undershot that by like $100M. Kinda weird considering I wanted to see that movie and have no desire to see HP...

[Lykaios]

Go big or go HOME! :p
And big I shall go!

I have to say I am mad at myself I had Potter exactly right before I changed it. I shouldn't have made any changes after seeing it oh well. CMJ is now way ahead right now.

[CMJ]

Just gotta keep up the pace. That lead is not insurmountable by any stretch.
