A new poll from MoiveTickets.com asked fans to choose the film they are most anticipating in the coming year.  Fans voted from August till October and picked the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" film as number one.  The poll indicates that the sixth Harry Potter film is more anticipated by those polled than other future high-profile releases such as the sequels to "X-Men," "Transformers," "Ice Age," and "Night at the Museum."  In regards to the results of this poll, Garry Hiller, a president for MovieTickets.com, is quoted as saying: "These polling results provide very early, valuable insight into comparative long-lead moviegoer awareness and interest levels."  The Top 10 List of Most Anticipated Films from MovieTickets.com is as follows:

  •     1.  "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"
  •     2.  "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"
  •     3.  "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen"
  •     4.  "Public Enemies"
  •     5.  "Angels & Demons"
  •     6.  "Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian"
  •     7.  "The Informant"
  •     8.  "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs"
  •     9.  "The Day the Earth Stood Still"
  •     10. "The Taking of Pelham 123"
As readers are aware, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" arrives in theaters July 17, 2009.

I can’t wait for HBP, but I can’t deny that I am WAY more excited for Wolverine. I know what to expect, more or less, from an HP movie … seeing more than 2 hrs of Hugh Jackman as Wolvie is something that I’ve been longing for since the first X-Men movie. :DDD

I kinda get what WB has been up to all along. I mean…Twilight, Hancok, Iron Man, Indiana Jones, Dark Night, Hulk 2…It’s kinda obvious that with all the marketing that all these movies are getting, H.Potter might not be so anticipated. But 2009 is free, and WB can sure get more audience after that.

@G,Johnson
you can boycott all you want, i doubt enough people will boycott to make a dent. I for one will not boycott it..i already know by the time july comes around, i’ll see it the day it comes out.. Why? because its the most anticipated film of 2009! i want to see it. I was devastated when they pushed it back, but im over it now. I dont care, at least they will be releasing it. I know i wont be able to resist seeing it as soon as i can.

Well Duh! Harry Potter is only the best thing EVER! I’m not surprised that it beat terminator thingamy whoop-whoop especially when in Australia to go and get good seats for Harry Potter you have to get in early. It’s a bummer that its not coming out until next year, I think I’ll just go kill warner brothers, excuse me.
