Harry Potter box office climbed up the record books right away, though the Harry Potter box office may come down to Earth this weekend. But for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince box office, coming down to Earth still means about $160 million for the first five days. The early Harry Potter box office totals looked like they would rival Transformers at first, yet now it looks otherwise. Still, with more millions made on Friday, Harry Potter box office still looks pretty big by any other standard.
When Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince opened on midnight this Wednesday, it broke the midnight box office records, as part of an opening day that made over $50 million. Box office totals for Thursday and Friday are a bit more modest, but are still red hot.
According to Deadline Hollywood, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince made $26 million on Friday, which would put the box office total up to over $100 million for three days. The projected numbers for the five-day opening weekend are up at around $160 million.
These numbers would be the biggest in the Harry Potter franchise thus far. However, in the race against Transformers, Half Blood Prince is set to fall a might short.
Even an $160 million opening weekend is in pale comparison to the $200+ million opening weekend of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. But the only way Harry Potter was going to beat that record was to get the highest numbers for the first five days in movie history - a record narrowly held on to by The Dark Knight over Transformers.
Still, with not many blockbusters left this summer, with the positive word of mouth, and with Half Blood Prince set to eventually get released in IMAX, Harry Potter may not drop off the top of the box office for a little while. That would help Half Blood Prince become the highest grossing movie of the franchise.
