TDK wasn't in the Best Picture category, and had a very limited return in IMAX theaters. I guess the point originally was that as far as Harry Potter is concerned, I doubt it will compare domestically with TDK. What's funny is that box office means less than it ever did as far as the bottom line is concerned for movie studios. The numbers for last year's box office was 18% of total revenues.

It won't really compare. My main point is that blockbuster legs aren't normally that strong. In the 80's they were huge but the 90's and then 00's it became even harder to keep the worlds attention, especially with how VHS > DVD > HD > DD

Home theater definitely had an impact. Also, the theaters had a different kind of deal with the studios as far as the theater counts were concerned, than is now the norm.
