I doubt it too. Midnight showings aren't a great predictor.

I'm not sure why that's considered a benchmark, other than juuust being on the north side of a billion. Return of the King and Pirates 2 both did better.

You know what? Im going to watch harry potter and the half blood prince just because i loved the 5th movie on BLURAY.

no way it'll beat Dark Knight. maybe the 7th or 8th film will - but not this one.
just came back from the theater and this movie is boring. there is no action in this film and did not follow the book very well.
Don't waste your time - definitely the worst in the series.

Return of the king and pirates 2 did do better overall, but not in midnight showings, if that's what you're implying.

I'm very surprised, I have barely seen any advertising.

I've never seen a Harry Potter film or read a Harry Potter book. I hope he fails!

It's weird how we focus so much on opening week, when the highest grossing movie ever did not even sell 50 million on the first week.

I'm talking about the speculation that it could pass TDK overall.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nolan... *reaches out a hand* :'(

I'm really interested in this movie since Snape was an awesome and really human character.
