As for the story, this one centers on Harry learning more about the villainous Lord Voldemort, while also discovering a book that belongs to whoever the "Half-Blood Prince" is. I am sure there is much more to it than that, but I do not wish to read too much prior to seeing the movie.
Also opening this week, but not near me:
- (500) Days of Summer - I really want to see this one.
Box Office Predictions
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen took two weekends and has breezed past $300 million. Could Harry Potter have as easy a time? I am not so sure, but I would not count it out, I mean it did make $22 million in opening night midnight shows alone. However well it does, there can be no doubt that it will take the top spot. Everyone else will probably just slide down for one, as the returning films have been pretty flat over the past couple of weeks, save for Bruno, which I suspect a steep dip from.
Here is how I think it could play out.
| Rank | Title | Box Office |
| 1 | Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince | $101 million |
| 2 | Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs | $17 million |
| 3 | Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | $16 million |
| 4 | Bruno | $14 million |
| 5 | Public Enemies | $8 million |
| 6 | The Proposal | $6 million |
| 7 | The Hangover | $5.5 million |
| 8 | Up | $3 million |
| 9 | I Love You, Beth Cooper | $2.5 million |
| 10 | My Sister's Keeper | $2 million |

Hey Chris!
Does this mean that you'll put up your review once you see the movie? hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink
I'm not usually one to keeping up with box office draws, but I think I'll have to on this one to see how your prediction rates.
BTW...thanks for including the clip...I hadn't seen that on as of yet. Yes, I'm waiting until I see the movie as sometimes the only good parts in a film are the ones you see in trailers and I didn't want to be disappointed just in case. My point is that I couldn't resist watching the one you posted regardless and I really enjoyed it.
2 - Harry Potter
This was a sad movie and I am sure won't do even as half as better as past movies. Several sites are talking of fading Potter magic, but it's not the Potter magic which is fading, it's the movie which was made bad. Deviating from the actual book, and missing all important scenes of the story, the new movie is like a love story, which no one really cares about.
