This is probably the most underrated of all the Harry Potter books. This is, in my opinion, the most crucial volume thus far in terms of advancing the story forward (I won't say why in case you're one of the two people who hasn't read it). Also, Gary Oldman and Ralph Fiennes have given fantastic performances in the previous Harry Potter films and Imelda Staunton fits her part like a glove. And Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are always great. This will have no problem doing well at the box office, but because this is one of the biggest summer movie seasons in a long time, it will have trouble standing out.

You are SEVERELY mistaken. It will make well over $200 million just like all of the previous movies. It has a MUCH bigger fanbase than the other early July blockbusters Transformers and Fantastic Four 2. By the time it comes out HP fever will be in full swing with people wanting to see it the weekend it comes out so they can read the book the next, watch out for a bigger opening than the 4th ($102 million). By the time it comes out there will be only two more blockbusters, The Simpsons Movie and Rush Hour 3 and they are in different demographics. Sorry this is the first time I've really really really disagreed with you.
You're probably right. Once the Harry Potter fever gets into full gear, I will probably up my prediction. It's just that there are so many blockbusters coming out this summer, a lot are getting lost in the mix.
I think this will end up being huge, because its release isn't in May like Spidey, Pirates and Shrek. I'm guessing it will make in the 250-325 million if not more range.
