POTTER dropping off faster than the last sequel...like the last few movies it opens big but once the fans have seen it, the appeal goes away. Otherwise, nothing too earth shattering.

Speaking of foreign revenue, I had no idea ICE AGE this was this big overseas... :shock:

Domestic: $171,291,000 25.4%
+ Foreign: $502,200,000 74.6%
= Worldwide: $673,491,000

By comparison, look at STAR TREK's foreign numbers. And keep in mind they were HAPPY with these because the older movies never made anything internationally...

Domestic: $254,006,000 66.9%
+ Foreign: $125,669,137 33.1%
= Worldwide: $379,675,137
