Post Harry Potter vs. King Kong vs. Narnia - Box Office 2005

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has blown away all compition in the Box Office. It is currently at the number two spot for the "franchise" (Jo hates that it is called that) behind Sorcerer's Stone - which no Harry Potter film will likely beat.

An interesting chart to watch is the Goblet vs Kong vs Narnia chart over at BoxOfficeMojo.com. It shows that although Goblet had the lowest budget of the three (a massive $150 mill) it looks like neither competing film will catch up with it.

I find it interesting that over 65% of Goblet's worldwide total comes from outside the USA. Compare that to Narnia's less-than-half.

The Hollywood Reporter (via Yahoo! News) reports...

Quote:
Warner Bros. Pictures started out 2005 with Oscar gold as "Million Dollar Baby" was crowned best picture, and it finished the year with plenty of hard cash thanks to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, "Batman Begins" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

The trio each earned more than $200 million at the domestic box office, powering the studio to first place in the year-end derby with a company record $1.37 billion in sales, just $13.5 million ahead of Fox. All told, Warners' share of the domestic market was 15.6% vs. Fox's 15.4%.

Warners also led the international box office race, reaping more than $1.7 billion, the studio's second-best haul.

The fourth Harry Potter movie, directed for the first time by a British filmmaker, Mike Newell, proved that the series is only improving as its teen protagonists age; sales to date stand at $277 million.

"With each successive movie, and successive book, you continue to build a fan base," says Warners president of production Jeff Robinov. "So there's people who have seen all four movies and who have not read the books, and you have those that have read all or some. It's gained its own momentum."

PS won't beat as it was the first HP movie and all the kids want to see Harry Potter on the screen, talking, walking and making adventures. GOF was really great. I think no movie of HP will beat PS but movie 7.

Yep, they`re continuing to build fan base, that`s right, he couldn`t say the truth in any other way.

That's what is more impressive for me! You hardly ever have a sequal of a movie do that fantasitcly well compaired to its first part. That's amazing! Wow!

I know they'll never read this but thank you so so much to everyone that made Goblet of Fire the best yet and for having me addicted! Ive seen it 4 times and I intend to see it more times still! CONGRATUALATIONS!!

Love Cat xxx

Cool!! I haven't seen Narnia or KK (and I wont be seeing that, I'm scared of the gorilla) but they must have brilliant special effects if they're even being compared to HP.

I hated King Kong, and Narnia doesn't look a patch on what the TV series used to be. It's not a real surprise that GOF has outshone them all
