After only a brief 83 days in theaters, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” has become the second highest grossing Harry Potter film, surpassing “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” with this past weekend’s box office takings. Domestically, “Order of the Phoenix” has grossed $290,189,393 while the domestic gross for “Goblet of Fire” stands at $290,013,036. However, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” still leads the pack with a total domestic gross of over $317 million.
Internationally, “Order of the Phoenix” has brought in an astonishing $643,700,000 contributing to the total worldwide box office receipts of over $933 million.
The next film, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” is currently in production and slated for release on November 21, 2008.
Many thanks to BoxOfficeMojo!
I agree there should not be too much Lindsey Lohan Disney style Teen Romance, bleah. (And yes when I was a teenager, romance was about all I was interested in, but this movie should be for all the readers, and they are all ages.) Besides, I feel the wonderful plot will just be lost and by the time they get to #7 (coming up fast) the lack of plot detail will ruin the movie.
Also introducing (or re-introducing) Lavender et al, every time they do that, they take screen time from the core characters and lose the focus. Like introducing a totally new character last time, not in the books, just to eat up minutes in the DA scenes. That was POINTLESS.
They don’t have time to stray too far from the characters introduced in the first film who have key roles in this. Anyway the R/Hr thing is something they could probably better show in the 7th movie where it really means something—all that stuff in the forest and the locket and all. At this point it’s just fluff.
Slither: Yeah he did hype up the Harry/Cho thing but it was actually extremely condensed. I do think that just because he’s hyping something up doesn’t mean it’s going to be overly focused on. He’s probably just hyping that here because he knows it will get the non book readers (the ones who aren’t guaranteed to see it) interested. I’m more worried about the romcom just not being very funny after being rewritten by Kloves, because I feel like to him JK’s jokes just aren’t funny enough.
I’m really not worried about the romcom taking over the movie.
ElCazo-I agree with you, and I also agree with your choice of memories.
One fluffy bit I truly hope stays that isn’t romance is the joke shop. I’ll be very let down if we don’t get to see WWW.
