I think someone needs a big fat Balrog shoved up their ##@#!

Archangel, can you explain to me the difference between some numbers listed and their "actuals"? Does it have something to do with how running totals listed in Variety are sometimes off or don't add up?

Well Variety's running totals are not to be trusted as they adjust them each week...sometimes you'll even see running totals drop latter in the run. This is to do with the changing exchange rates.

I do my own calculations, basically summing each weekly figure and ignore the total being reported by Variety.

3.6 million weekend and 635 million total.

That is really good. 645 is guarenteed. It could top 650.

50% drop for the weekend...didn't expected it...

If I'm not mistaken, DMC experienced something similar last year: great holds during August and then a semi-collapse in September.

Excellent.

The overseas grosses are really exploding last year and this year..incredible!

I predict $670+ million OS for Half-Blood Prince.

Warner Bros. ninth weekend of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" padded its foreign total with $3.6 million at 4,300 in 58 markets to lift its overseas cume to $635 million, the sixth highest of all time. The fifth Potter pic will probably surpass No. 5 on that list -- "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," at $642 million -- by the end of its run.

Looks like a $645-$650m final take for Potter 5, not enough to pass AWE but i'm surprised that it got this much after what was a good but not great movie...

At World's End was another good, but not great movie...

Yeah plus both series are pretty much loved overseas. I think that has a lot to do with it.

For me, OOTP is the best of series..

(I was saying; it was a close second best, but I changed my mind after my third viewing)

But yes, I'm surprised; while it was great, IMO, it was also the least 'crowd pleasure' of all HP flicks (especially, coming after the action-packed; GoF)..

I'd say; its success in US; thanks to the Wednesday opening (and maybe) + GoF..
and its success in overseas; thanks to GoF..
