Box office: 'Azkaban' will not pass 'Chamber' Article: Veritserum are reporting the folowing.
Quote:
Unfortunately, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban has fallen further behind Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets at the box office (In Comparison), and it does not appear that 'Azkaban' will pass 'Chamber' domestically. However, it should be taken into account that the 8th week of Chamber of Secrets was Christmas week, and Prisoner of Azkaban did not fall far behind 'Chamber' until that week.

Go Prisoner you can do it. Yeah I'm cheering on a film to beat another film in it's money making ability sad isn't it. I do believe I'll have to go and see it just one more time. Can't get enough of PoA.

This news is leaning too much over to the negative side of things-- coz it only refers to the US Box Office Charts! But lets clarify this...
Todate, PoA is the 2nd highest grossing movie of 2004 worldwide (In US million dollars):
#1 Shrek = $739.3
(US=$429.8; Overseas=$309.5)
#2 HP-PoA = $701.0
(US=$242.0; Overseas=$459.0)
#3 Passion of Christ = $609.5
(US=$370.3; Overseas=$239.2)
#4 Spider-Man 2 = $530.4
(US=$330.3; Overseas=$200.0)
#5 Day After Tomorrow = $526.6
(US=$184.2; Overseas=$342.4)
Looking at those figures, you see that so far this year, PoA is:
1. the highest grossing movie outside the US (at $459)
2. only around $38million behind Shrek
Considering that Shrek has been running for more than 2 months & a week now (opened last May 19), while PoA (opened on June 4) has been running for only a month & 3 weeks-- PoA still has a big chance of overtaking Shrek in the worldwide charts this year.
Also, PoA is yet to open in some more countries.. I think there will still be openings until September.
I'd like to say watch out for the Spidey, but I dont think Spider-Man is as big in the international market. Just look at Japan, PoA still held the no.1 spot on its 3rd week -- and that's the opening week of Spider-Man 2 there!
If the appeal for it to be shown in China succeeds, I'm betting that PoA will become the no.1 film of 2004 bcoz I dont think Shrek or Spider-Man 2 is as big as the HP series in China-- remember that the HP books were all translated in Chinese, and its got a big following there (if only bcoz of the presence of Cho Chang's character, which everybody believes to be of Chinese origin). And China is a big market!
And if you want to check the ALL-TIME Worldwide charts, just go to this link: BoxOfficeMojo
Titanic is no. 1 there
HP-Sorcerer's Stone is at no. 3
HP-Chamber is at no. 7
Spider-Man 1 at no. 10
Shrek 2 currently at no. 15 HP-PoA is no. 17! -- and that's the ALL-TIME Worldwide Charts!

I'd like it to do better than the others, because I thought it was a better film... but look at what the studios are consider failing. PoA still made a ton of money and it definitely earned it's production costs back. I think it will be the best seller on DVD and there will be more of an audience for GoF because people will have seen how good this film was.

I know what you mean, they consider it as having done bad, but it was the most successful opening day in the UK EVER. And just looks at the heeps of money it brought it in! And all the praise and positive reviews it accumulated. Just cos it doesn't match up to phoney blockbusters (like Titanic which has over 200 inaccuracies one of which a stupid Nickelodeon reference) doesn't make it any less credible than them. Hollywood seems to only care about profts and having the biggest grossing film; but that doesn't matter to people who view the material, they just want to see good quality pieces of artwork.

Wow 17 is a long ways from number one... Yes, but consider how many thousands upon thousands of movies that have been made. This summer alone, there are over one hundred movies that are being released in America. If you look at the big picture, Prisoner of Azkaban is doing amazingly well.

I agree. I think that PoA is better than Titanic. It made so much money, I hope a film overtakes that one day! But as you say it's not about money or how many Oscars a film gets, but nearly every film in Hollywood only seems to care about that. No.17 is good, plus it's not gone out of cinemas. Good luck to PoA, if it done make more than CoS then yay but if it doesn't well does it really matter? And as other members have said it's not out in some countries yet, I think Greece have still got to get it for one.

Compares to the first two movies, PoA has its advantage too, the better film reviews, and more theaters playing it at the beginning.

It does, considering Philosophers Stone is at number 3 - thats amazing!!
But 17 isn't bad overall, so to say that it will not pass COS in totally wrong, because to quote:
Quote: Todate, PoA is the 2nd highest grossing movie of 2004 worldwide (In US million dollars):
That is a great achievement, so why the US keep saying it isn't overtaking COS is blatently annoying me, because after all, it wasn't just released in the USA! Gah...
And please remember, it still has China's release to go yet!

Heelllza yes!!! I agree wit ya!!!! :sorcerer: [/b][/quote]
i agree with you too, I mean, POA was wayy better than Shrek or Titanic-i don't even know why they made so much-it was probably because the Titanic was a real event that happened and people wanted to see it, but then it wasn't even accurate, but they didn't know that going in to see for the first time, so who know. POA will always be number 1 in my heart-I find it hard to believe that it's falling behind Chamber-it seems that POA is breaking a lot of records i thought.
