Harry Potter beats James Bond
This is simply amazing.
That’s Potter, Harry Potter.
Warner Bros. Pictures said Monday that the five “Harry Potter” movies have grossed $4.47 billion worldwide, surpassing boxoffice generated from 22 James Bond movies. That gives the Burbank studio bragging rights for the most lucrative film franchise ever — with two “Potter” films yet to come.
I wonder if these figures are adjusted for inflation. What did it cost to buy a ticket to a James Bond flick back in the sixties? It sure as heck wasn’t $9.50 a crack…
Great point, I’m not sure if they are.
