The upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film is the top Surefire Blockbuster of 2009, according to a new list published by MTV. The sixth film made first place in a list of the top ten upcoming blockbuster films set for release in this new year. MTV says the following of the next Harry Potter film:
Every "Potter" film has flirted with a billion dollars worldwide, but
will the sixth movie finally cross that sacred plateau? By the time
July 17 rolls around, it will have been two years since fans saw their
wizard friends onscreen, and many regard "Half-Blood" to be one of the
best books in the franchise. Through the first five films, Harry has
overseen the most successful movie franchise of all time, and it seems
likely that "Prince" will once again crown him king.
I think the combined movie gross of Deathly Hallows 1 and 2 will go over 2 billion, which would be counted as one movie record! As for HBP, I think the comedy aspect will help the overall bottom line…it looks brilliant!
I think you’re wrong, i went to see Oopt 5 times when it was released, that’s how easily they make the money. But i have to agree, this movie will be the best one yet.
Everyone certainly is entitled to their opinion, but I myself liked OOTP the best. I guess part of it might be because aside from DH, it’s my favorite of the books.
All I can say to this is… "Duh!" Of course it’s Top Ten, I’m surprised it’s not #1 given the competition and how many people love Harry. Cannot WAIT!!!!
I wasn’t that impressed with OotP, although I did see it 3 times at the cinema and it cashed in a LOT. I have high expectations for HBP (also because it was my fav book in the series) and, by what I see now it’s gonna be good and probably cash in mor ethan OotP.
Sounds about accurate, although I’m surprised they placed Salvation so high on the list. The Terminator franchise has been on the rocks for a few years, and I’m not sure if even Bale will be able to push it into "blockbuster" territory.
There’s a reason they moved HBP into the summer, and that’s because WB’s not comfortable enough with Salvation as its tentpole summer feature.
Also, if any of those movies has the chance to move, it has to be Up. Pixar’s a juggernaut, it could easily pass Avatar and Terminator, and probably Transformers.
...Hermione and Ginny started requesting their favorite noses.[br]"Do that one like a pig snout, Tonks..."[br]Tonks obliged, and Harry, looking up, had the fleeting impression that a female Dudley was grinning at him from across the table.
I don’t know if the sales will go over 1 billion but i think it will be the best movie yet.
