Trends come and go, and lately it might seem like the Harry Potter phenomenon has been usurped by the latest craze: The Twilight Saga. And yet, if you look at the numbers, it doesn’t add up: Harry still wins. The Twilight Saga: New Moon opened this past December to a record-breaking $143 million opening in North [...]

On September 29th, its seventy-seventh day in release, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince broke the $300 million mark here in the U.S. It’s only the second Potter film after the first, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, to do so. Overall, grosses for the Potter movies have been climbing since Prisoner of Azkaban: Sorcerer’s Stone: $318 million Chamber [...]

Here in the United States, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen won the summer box office crown easily with $400 million, while Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince came in second with $299.6 million (and counting! You can make it to $300!) But Half-Blood Prince has the last laugh: worldwide, it’s the biggest movie of [...]

It was two weeks ago that Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince broke through the $292 million barrier that Order of the Phoenix set to become the second-highest-grossing Harry Potter film yet. (Sorcerer’s Stone, being the first, made $318 million.) Now it’s knocking on the door of the $300 million barrier. Today is Half Blood [...]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince made $2.5 million at the U.S. box office this weekend after seven weeks in theaters. Its total gross is now $294.3 million — which, as of Friday, is higher than Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’s $292 million gross. That makes Half-Blood Prince the second-highest-grossing Potter film ever, [...]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince made $17.9 million in its third weekend in theaters — beating G-Force, the movie that topped Harry the previous weekend. In addition, Half-Blood Prince was down only 39% from last weekend. That’s a smaller-than-normal drop, which Movie Cultists notes is thanks to the film showing up on hundreds of [...]

Just a friendly reminder that starting this weekend, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will debut in IMAX theaters, now that the month-long exclusive run that Transformers 2 booked is over. Since IMAX theaters are typically more expensive (around $15 a ticket), this will probably soften the fall that Half-Blood Prince takes in its third weekend. [...]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince scored $29.5 million in its second weekend, down a steep-but-expected 62% and coming in at second place below a surprisingly strong $32 million showing for G-Force, the talking gerbils movie. Of course, Half-Blood Prince still has not one but two aces up its sleeve. The first is its overseas gross: [...]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince scored a record-breaking $396.7 worldwide over the Wednesday to Sunday span, making it the biggest five-day start of any movie ever. $159.7 million of that came from the U.S., which isn’t quite as record-breaking but is still 13% bigger than what Order of the Phoenix did two years ago. The [...]

Any half-baked theories that Harry Potter has lost his relevance can officially be put to rest as the stunning numbers just came in from last night’s screenings, which began at midnight: $22.2 million. That beats The Dark Knight’s record of $18.5, handily trounces Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’s $16 million, and nearly doubles the $12 [...]
