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...

Awesome. GO GOF!!! I havent seen Narnia yet but all three are spectacular with special effects.

... That is a lot of money! lol

Cool!!!

Wow, thats awesome.

That's impressive! :bow:

ohhh interesting" i doubt any film will beat PS after all it is the first but maby OOTP! however it is like no film will make titanic like money but still GOF deserves this it is way better than knog and narnia

Wow that's very cool.

I haven't seen Narnia yet, I wanna see it on Saturday but I hope that GoF will win. Go GoF!

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.

WOw that's awesom!!

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

wowz.. that's great!

thats interesting..cool movies..

*screams happily* GO HP!!! (well it is the best...lol)

yay!!! thats ma baby rite there

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

wow
 

That's interesting that HP did so well considering it's budget.

thats cool, I thought narnia looked like they wimped out on the CGI and character design, looks lower budget if you ask me.

wow! That's really great :) Go Potter!

Narnia made me want to sleep!

but gof althought the effects arent great in some parts it is still a much better film

I've seen HP and Narnia but HP definately wins! Narnia was good n the effects were brill but u cant beat HP!!

Warners must be loving it all....
HP rules !!!

So True Hp Rules!! Warners Must Be Happy

GoF simply rocks!

go GOF!!!!!!!!!!! yay!:woot:

that is so great. i really enjoyed the book on Goblet of Fire, and i really enjoyed the movie. but then my friend didnt. and that is what i agree with her. even though the movie was pretty long they left out a lot of stuff. stuff that would actually bring excitement to the movie. i just really glad that it is up there in the box office :woot:

Ottery smashes box office records. No really with a crowbar even
 

All this focus on the money the movie is making is sad, I think, no one's talking about the quality of the movies or anything like that, because in the long run no one remembers the box office numbers for The Wizard of Oz, or The Godfather, but dang if they're not brilliant films... *fires the cannons*

Besides, next year Superman comes out and that's going to blow these numbers away, and then who cares because something else will come out and blow those numbers away and then who cares...and so on ad infinitum.

Star Wars probably has the biggest movie numbers, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the last three released really sucked. LOL

So what I'm trying to say here is, let's look at what's truly important...

Put Rupert in a bathtub like Dan and you'll see box office numbers shattering...LOL You gotta love those fangirls...LOL

:lol: The only one's who should care are the shareholders of Warner Brother's stock...LOL

Goblet of Fire is brill!!!! :woot:

Iv seen Hp and and Narnia. I liked Hp better even though the effects were good in Narnia. go HP :woot:

I haven't seen Narnia and KK yet. But that wouldn't change my opinion.:evil:
GoF is simply best!

I hope that Hp will win! They deserve it best!

Thats very cool

interesting! i saw king kong and the effects were good but i didn't like it as much. dont think i'm gonna watch narnia though. just not my type of thing. but WB must be really happy.

Wow! That's really impressive!!! Though I don't think any movie could beat SS/PS if one of them had to it would be number 7 I mean by then it will probably have 10x the number of fans it has now!!!! GoF is totally awsome tough!!!!!!!!:yes:

That's cool!

Wow, that's cool! Chronicles of Narnia is really good, though. Really good how GoF has brought in more $$! :P

Congrats to GoF

WOOOOOOO!!!!!! GO HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!! :woot: i havent seen narnia or king kong but i wont because they dont interest me.

I liked King Kong more than GOF, but I liked GOF more than Narnia. All 3 films are excellent. I was kind of disappointed with Narnia though. It wasn't as action-packed as I had expected/hoped.

Edit: I thought Star Wars Episode 3 was great too. Almost as good as the original three.

great movies...thats cool....go GOF!!

Oh yes indeed...

GOF rocks and also does Narnia but I absolutely hated King Kong

Sales to date stand at $277 million....OMG !
I thought that Narnia was good but they hyped it up way way to much for what it actually turned out to be. King Kong was 3 hours long...um,yeah..it was good but if I had to pick out of the three the first would be HP4,then KingKong and then Narnia.
I went to see Goblet 9 times..I wouldnt do the same for the later two movies(and I'm a fan of The Chronicles..well,the books at least..even though Will Moseley is a hottie)

That is freakin AWESOME!!!!! :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:
^THEY ALL AGREE! Don't you boys? :lol:

And I agree with Beav, that is a WHOLE load of cash right there! :) :shifty:

thats cool.

i havent seen the other 2 so i have no clue!

i havn't seen the other two films, but i can see why HP is doing better than them. even my dad enjoyed it!

All of the three are awesome movies but Star Wars came top in 2005 movie list

lol.....interesting movie choices....

well i'll have to say that gof is best. have no interest in king kong but i also did love narnia. loved it because they totally followed the book. that's great

Narnia was great, King Kong way too long, and obviously HP has got the better storyline to begin with...

Yeah, cool, but that comparison to King Kong and Narnia is a tad weird, I mean, those films were released at a later point in time....ah well, HP rulez!

hmm.. king kong was ok too long, and i love the narnia books and i really liked the movie! i dunno if gof will beat narnia

King Kong is awesome. Narnia is okay. GoF is bloody brilliant.

The first is always the best! My favorite book is OoTP,hopefuly it'll be the one that comes near beating PS. But as was said,GoF was/is WAAAAAAY better than Kong and definetly loads better than Narnia.

That is SWEET! GO GoF!!!

Of course Harry Potter all the way. Harry Potter for the Top!

All three movies were awesome so the fact that they're competing? makes sense.

this makes for great competition!

Goblet of fire rules!!!
