*DH2 accounting for 52% of all sales*

Darth Ledger

I'll start with what I think right now. This may change as we get closer to the film.

Domestic: $354 million
Overseas: $872 million

Total: $1,226,000,000 (estimate)

What do you guys think?

EDIT: These tickets aren't even for sale at my theater yet, but DH2 is selling fast. Green Lantern is only accounting for 17% and it opens this weekend.

Richard

I think it should get 1,627,895,352

Darth Ledger

^If it makes that much I'll personally advertise on the streets for everyone to go see it just one more time so It will pass titanic lol

lol yes!

Darth Ledger

I should add on here that as much as I love The Dark Knight, the biggest opening weekend record will probably be ours after July 17th...

aaron

Domestic: $310-320 million
Overseas: $680-690 million
Worldwide: $990-1,010 million

Unless they change the opening day to a Wednesday.

Vince

I hope they do not change the opening day. I really don't think they will, after DH1 did quite well over the weekend, but you never know...

Richard

I actually want it to open on wednesday.

aaron

NO. You don't.

Alfiewits

I dont get the logic of opening a film on a wednesday (:|

Richard

NO. You don't.

why dont i? if it does then i will 100% be able to see it at midnight.

TheDoctor

It will interfere with all the attendees at Leakycon!

Darth Ledger

NO. You don't.

why dont i? if it does then i will 100% be able to see it at midnight.

I think we will steal back the midnight record with ease my friend

MadBella

agreed

Richard

I cant wait!!!!

greg

Domestic: 300-350 millions
Overseas: 650-800 millions
Sooooooo worldwide: between 950 millions and 1.150 billions

Darth Ledger

The 3D effect on a franchise like this could result in staggering overseas numbers, there are many countries who love and embrace 3D.

I think this movie will actually have some legs because it will be the last time we will ever get to see a Harry Potter movie in theatres, and I for one will be seeing it no less than 10 times... I'm sure I'm not the only one.

blackvenom

True.

Domestic: 360,000,000$
Overseas: 820,000,000$
Worldwide: 1,180,000,000$

XDMorsmordreXD

So basically, it'll beat ROTK?

Nick

sorry thats not gonna happen

XDMorsmordreXD

Course it WILL.

Darth Ledger

So basically, it'll beat ROTK?

Yes it will. Adjusted for inflation it would not but it's 2011 and DHpart2 has the full might of the potter fanbase, finale factor, 3D, summer release, outstanding source material, and quite frankly more theatres.

Part 2 will be more enjoyable for audiences than ROTK.

Deff. Nick, it will. I mean, how can't it.
Regardless, I confirm that it will pass the one billion mark.

Darth Ledger

Deathly Hallows Part 1 was a monster overseas... It's less than stellar run in America cost it a chance to cross a billion.

There's a good chance than some people stayed at home on this one because it had the label 'part 1'. But it still did serious business for half of a movie.

If you don't want DHpart2 to pass ROTK you have to hope for this:

1. Ticket prices turn away some casual movie goers.
2. Shortened Theatre run (not gonna happen)
3. Competition from Transformers, Captain America, and Winnie the Pooh...? None of these will make a dent in Deathly Hallows worldwide armour.

From what I figure the only thing will be the alienation from casual movie people due to either price or the fact that it is indeed the second half of one movie.

DH1: $656,900,000 $294,403,739 = $951,303,739

DH2: $785,000,000 $325,***,*** = 1,250,000,000

Darth Ledger

As far as the Dark Knight goes, the opening weekend record doesn't stand a chance. The harry potter movies get more frontloaded everytime. If you take DHpart1's 125 million and add the 3D multiplier plus the summer effect then you would get somewhere around 165 million. That would have been for part 1. Part 2 has that in the bag.

The midnight record is a whole different animal. Eclipse stands at 30 million and DHpart1 made 24 million... However, Eclipse had a summer release while DHpart1 was obviousley in winter. Give DHpart2 the 3D, finale effect, and summer release I think you see that record broken with DHpart2 raking in around 33 million at midnight.

^It's awesome to think that Sorcerer's Stone was #2 behind Titanic until ROTK came out...

What are you smoking?

:-|

Ash

I highly doubt it'll pass a billion, no matter how much you want it to.

Jason

I hightly doubt it won't pass a billion, no matter how much you don't want it to.

B-)

Ash

:-q

Richard

i guarantee it will cross one billion Im not even worried

XDMorsmordreXD

i guarantee it will cross one billion Im not even worried

Me too.
Cad, Part 1 (which SO many people were skipping) has made 951 million dollas. No 3D! No Summer-time!

Jason

:-bd

Ash

Okay, well I don't see it gaining many more fans, but I'd love to be proved wrong.

XDMorsmordreXD

GOF made $895,921,036

Two Years Later...

OOTP makes $938,212,738

Their obviously not getting new fans.

HBP made $933,959,197

ONE year later...

Dh1 makes $951,303,739

Ash

Then let's hope the trend continues...

Ash

...or rather not, because if it did we'd have another drop. :-))

OSDude94

It would be extremely awesome if it could pass $2,782,206,970! :P Haha, but in reality it will probably make about 1-1.5 billion, which would still be freaking awesome to me.

Darth Ledger

I've been considering lowering my number but the shortened length of the film and emotional pull/action packed variety of the film will help as much as 3D and finale factor and all that good stuff. So I'm staying at 1.2 billion for obvious reasons.

I see we are of one mind on this... I want that midnight record back

Darth Ledger

Boxoffice.com has officially posted their predictions:

Opening Weekend: 142 million

Cummulitive: 330 million

Sounds reasonable. Throw in the 740 million it's gonna make worldwide and you'll have somewhere around RotK numbers.

decarus

lol.

142 mill opening weekend? @-)

Lord_Darkeyes

hahahahah!!!
