The very strong marketing campaign will produce some strong numbers this weekend.
The very strong marketing campaign will produce some strong numbers this weekend.
The Potter franchise is just irresistible to moviegoers. The combination of the Potter books and the love audiences have for the movies conspired a big opening weekend.
This was not a weekend destined to be a blockbuster weekend. Really, really slow. Audiences seemed somewhat indifferent again. That's the scary part for the industry. It really takes a lot to get them out there to see a movie. It seems like any competition, like baseball, really cuts in big-time.
The studios are hedging bets. They have a known commodity. Some of these sequels have been out-earning their predecessor's opening weekend. But when it comes to final box, they don't always measure up.
In all fairness, this was more of a typical late-October weekend, as opposed to a year ago, when 'The Grudge' surprised everyone and made this weekend look pale by comparison.
