GOOD.. Was never, will never be a Potter fan.

Yes, I know they're good reading and all. Just not a fan.

Thank goodness! Both were good films, but I was really rooting for Marvel given what a bold experiment this is with building this series of films towards The Avengers.

good for Capy

[emeraldknight47]

Way ta go, Cap. Potter's probably workin' for Hydra anyway....!

Waaaa-Hoooo!!!!

I knew it ! Joe Johnston kicks arse!!!!!!!!!!

I'm happy, but to be honest, it was not really a head to head battle between same opening released movies...Potter is in its sophmore week of release...while Cap is brand new.

But I'm still happy.

I also wonder what Harry Potter's worldwide gross 2nd week out compared to Cap? The gross quoted was U.S. only. I can't wait to see Captain America but didn't get to go opening weekend (was out of town) so hopefully will help contribute to its Sophmore gross.

The sunday matinee I attended for Harry Potter was still packed.

Hopefully based on good word of mouth, Cap will have some legs.

Potter's fall is almost record-braking...

Well considering it broke every box office record out of the gate and is nearing $1B (yes that's billion) international box office sales in just two weeks; I'm sure nobody at Warner Brothers is crying in their latte.

are we seriously comparing 2nd weekend to first weekend

i haven't seen a harry potter film at the theaters yet and I love cap -but financially they aren't on the same playing field.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah, Cap did great box office, and is a great movie, but Potter is a phenomenon. And this last movie only dropped in the 2nd week because pretty much everyone who HAD to see it, saw it that first weekend.
