Phoenix Breaks Early Records

Midnight previews of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on July 11 brought in a record-breaking $12 million, the most in Hollywood's history for a Wednesday-opening midnight run, Variety reported.

The previous record-holder was The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, which rang up about $8 million in midnight ticket sales in 2003.

As of 12:01 a.m., theaters across the country were free to begin playing the fifth installment in the lucrative Warner Brothers film franchise, based on J.K. Rowling's blockbuster book series.

In terms of the full day, the record for the biggest Wednesday opening is held by Spider-Man 2, which made $40.4 million in 2004. Warner Brothers has a shot at nearing that record with Phoenix, which bowed on a monstrous 9,000 screens domestically.

I bet this will beat it!! I'm putting in my 6 bucks worth!

[brewin]

It already did beat it. It brought in $44.8 million.

I'll see it sometime in a couple weeks probably.

[VROSA]

I will do soon

[Christopholofigus]

I want to see it, but the question is...will i have the time?

[chriso_86]

Well, I just got back. And I must say, I FREAKIN LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best Harry Potter movie yet, hands down!!!!!!!! Just when I think they can't get better they do!! I seriously think this series is going to turn out being better than Lord of the Rings and Star Wars (which is saying a lot for a die hard fan) but unlike the others this series has gotten better and better every movie! And, unlike Star Wars, this series actually has kids that can act!! Go see it guys, best movie of the year no questions asked!

I've never read the books nor seen any of the films but I've been seeing Daniel Radcliffe on the talk show circuits a lot lately. That guy is f'n funny. The 2nd season of Ricky Gervais' "Extras" had an episode in which he played a spoiled brat film star bent on proving his sexual worth. It was a great episode and I laughed my ass off. And as he's been making the U.S. talk show rounds, I've been impressed. That Radcliffe kid is cool and a damn fine actor for such a young man.

Yeah, I saw him on Larry King and then Conan yesterday. He's seems pretty cool. I don't think he'll disappear after the Potter films are over.

And Emma Watson (Hermione) was on Conan tonight. I've read the books. She's not supposed to be that hot.

Yeah, she has "grown into" a hotty!!!

Hehe, damn right! As brew said, she's not like that in the books! (at least in the 4 first ones, didn't read the others ) I've read and seen the 4 first ones, I wonder if I should read the fifth before seeing it, but I don't think I'll have the time to finish it before I get to see it... Anyways, I guess it's a good movie but I'm not a big fan, I'll probably go on a tuesday cause they have 5$ specials, I go see almost all movies with my friends on tuesdays.

BTW, Transformers was crap. It had so much potential but wasted it with all those kiddy jokes and the damn gangsta robot...

I saw the first 4 movies before reading the books and I still enjoyed them even though I knew what was going to happen. I think the 5th book is the best though, so I'd recommend reading it after the movie at least.

Yeah, the previews didn't look too great. I'll probably skip it.
