Nothing is Hotter Than Potter

I saw the figures from the weekend box office results of the new Harry Potter flick.

My goodness, does this brand not run out of steam? Apparently not.


Potter's latest flick took in a total of 330 million dollars world wide over the weekend and 125 million in the US. The figure you are most used to hearing is the latter 125 million.

The latest flick, known as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I", has set a new standard for Potter movies in terms of debut revenue.

The movie grossed 20% - 25% more then the next best debut performance of a Harry Potter flick. The next best was "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" which yielded just over a 100 million during it's debut weekend in the US.

Harry Potter is now closing in on the 6 billion dollar mark as a franchise.
