It is well in sight of breaking into the second spot in
terms of sequel averages of big time franchises like Pirates
of the Caribbean and the Lord of the Rings trilogy; only
Spiderman remaining ahead. Harry has also managed to rake
in a cool 140 million worldwide from his first weekend
at the box office and if his producers are to be believed
then he might finish up at a staggering figure of over
800 million at the box office.
We hear that the budget of the film was somewhere around
200 million dollars and if our calculations are correct
and if everything goes according to plan then Harry will
garner a profit of nearly 400% (the figure sounds familiar
doesn’t it). With good reports, appreciated performances
(Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville have come in for a lot
of praise for showing amazing maturity on screen) and
a star studded line up, though you might not recognize
these otherwise familiar actors in their long robes, big
beards and one particular flat nose (You know who), the
movie looks all set to make the Warner Brothers richer
by a few hundred millions. Harry Potter and the Order
of the Phoenix: its darker, it’s deeper and it’s
certainly worth a watch. |
