Interesting. I think since Cos was bad it lessened the attendance for PoA, but then PoA was awesome it picked up again.

I didn't think CoS was bad. I loved it! I thought that although PoA is a great movie, it's the worst out of the three.

Cool. Goblet was much better than PoA so it was pretty obvious it was gonna overtake it but now we just gotta wait until it overtakes CoS n PS | |

Yeah that's it. In a series, the predecessor, for a lot of people, determines whether they see the sequel. Ergo the takings are sometimes a better reflection of what people thought of the previous film. After PS, the takings declined with CoS, the same with PoA, and now they're picking up. Basically what it comes down to is if people liked PoA they're more inclined to return to cinemas for GoF.
Takings are less reflective of the quality of the current film simply because you don't see a film because you know it's good, cause you don't know what it's going to be like until you see it. Money doesn't make a film good, it just shows how many people went to see it. Loads of people could see it but it doesn't mean they come out liking it. If a film puts less bums in seats than previous films it's more likely down to people not liking what came before and deciding that they wouldn't see the next one.
We'll get a better idea of GoF's 'success' when OotP is released, if people choose to return to the cinema again because they liked its predecessor. The first film did so well simply because it was the first, people had nothing to compare it to or judge it against but then takings fell with CoS because of PS and so on and so forth.
And I agree CoS is the 'worst' imo.

Awesome, but let's keep in mind that PoA was released at the wrong moment (summer holidays), it's always more quite then when a film is released around xmas...

It should be about the art not the money *sighs* I mean...HELLO, Rupert is a masterpiece...is it any wonder that GoF is making so much money...LOL
Then there's Krum, now there's a piece of work...and Cedric...OMG!
LOL
This is good...they should be greenlighting the 6th and 7th movies after this no? Keep the trio WB.
