Okay, after having gone through the final domestic Top 10 of the year and the final Top 10 opening weekends of the year, here's the last in the series.


How do you expect the Worldwide Box-Office of 2005 to end up?

My predictions/projections:


1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - $885 million
2. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - $852 million
3. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - $655 million
4. King Kong - $595 million
5. War of the Worlds - $591 million
6. Madagascar - $531 million
7. Mr. & Mrs. Smith - $461 million
8. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - $442 million
9. Batman Begins - $372 million
10. Hitch - $368 million
11. Fun with Dick and Jane - $362 million
12. Chicken Little - $335 million

With Wedding Crashers at 205 US right now, think it might hit at least that #10 spot of 335 worldwide.

On would think so too, but it has already been released in most countries and only made $56 million internationally. It only has Japan and Spain ahead of the big markets, I think.

Why will HARRYPOTTER 4 make any more than HARRYPOTTER 3? when every single installment, has dropped in WW BOX OFFICE considerably compared to the previous installment?

HP1: $976,475,550
HP2: $876,688,482 (- $99,787,068)
HP3: $789,791,069 (- $86,897,413)

Yeah, but the 4th one is going to JUMP from $789M to $885M ((+$95,208,931))

I don't see that happening, theres no reason for such an increase, considering it's fallen over $86M each time.

short response.

the 4th film has had the best marketing campaign out of the potter movies, not to mention it looks miles better than the rest. I think that the downward trend ends on November 18 2005, be there and watch history unfold

Buuuuut, didn't everyone say that about the third movie? How dark it looked, and how much better it would be?

And how the 3rd book is the best, most favored one etc.

Only thing that Potter 4 might have in favour over third part might be release date. Just might though.

I agree,i remember clearly when many were saying how the third was going to be the one to gross the most because it was the best book and the marketing was great ect...
Well no,the 4th will continue the trend.

235 domestic
510 International
745 worldwide

bleh, there is always some point that the free fall stops wether its at the bottom or somewhere along the way, I think it stops now, simple as that

People don't understand how much a release date close to Christmas means for a family film AS WELL AS the fact that the book is being released in the same year. For instance, in Germany the book comes out less than two months before the movie. Same goes for many European countires. Do you have an idea how much through the roof the hype will be?

Good time to bump this one for current standings:


1. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - $848.5 million
2. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - $660.8 million
3. War of the Worlds - $588.9 million
4. Madagascar - $527.7 million
5. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - $471.9 million
6. Mr. & Mrs. Smith - $449 million
7. Batman Begins - $371.9 million
8. Hitch - $368.1 million
9. Fantastic Four - $329.5 million
10. Wedding Crashers - $283.1 million
11. Robots - $260.7 million
12. Howl's Moving Castle - $231.7 million


This is how I project it to end up as of now:

1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - $892 million
2. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - $850 million
3. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - $670 million
4. King Kong - $590 million
5. War of the Worlds - $489 million
6. Madagascar - $528 million
7. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - $479 million
8. Mr. & Mrs. Smith - $475 million
9. Batman Begins - $372 million
10. Hitch - $368.1 million
11. Chicken Little - $320 million
12. Fun with Dick and Jane - $311 million

As fully expected, Potter 4 did not in anyway fall behind HP3

950m-970m for Potter 4, Im hoping it can top HP1 internationaly

Yeah, nice to see all the Potter bashers being proven very well wrong.
