Apparently Harry Potter is outdoing the competiton, with 80 Million in the bank to date, outdoing all the other films in their opening weekends. (Interesting bit of trivia - guess which film made the least money? Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban. And the one that has made the most? Will be this one. I find this hilarious, considering the online fans seem to like the third film better than the current one. I haven't seen it yet. I am waiting until maybe August. I might see it with CW or with a meetup group at the IMAX for 16.50. Have not decided yet. I think it would be a cool film to see on IMAX, although tend to generally avoid IMAX for anything that isn't a nature film. The fact people saw the Dark Knight on IMAX - bewilders me. Why would you do that to your poor brain? Although I guess you could say the same thing about Potter, except I doubt it has quite the degree of torture that Dark Knight did.] At any rate, I think Harry Potter may be this year's Dark Knight, while Star Trek is this year's Iron Man. Not surprised by either's performance. It's not like they have much competition. The flicks out this summer have been unappealing to say the least. I'm renting Terminator Salvation Day. I skipped Transformers 2 - after being told it was not as entertaining as the first one. Considering that I almost walked out of the first film, bored, decided not to torture myself with the sequel. Apparently I wasn't the only one who made this decision. And the romcoms? Ick. The comedies? Ick. Whoever decided to wait until this summer to release Harry Potter, knew what they were doing.
