Are the Harry Potter Movies Failing?

Sure Warner Brothers executives won’t be going without their yachts, at least not unless they decide to greenlight “Body of Lies 2: Now With More Lying and Extra Fat Crowe”, but the Harry Potter movies may be sinking. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince only took a week to fall out of the top spot, with the added indignity of losing to a bunch of animated hamsters. Sure a 200 some million consolation prize isn’t bad, and records have been set. But “one week and you’re outta here four eyes” isn’t what the trends were predicting. Of course Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince fell victim to Warner Brothers determination to squeeze as much juice out of the boy wizard by slicing and dicing the final movies up into so many pieces, that it would be safe to greenlight “Body of Lies 3: Crowe Gets Even Fatter”, but between the squeezed budget and the burden of being a movie version of a franchise that the author has already ended, Harry Potter isn’t doing as well as it should. This should also carry a warning to Warner Brothers’ attempt to cash in on The Hobbit by turning it into two whole movies.
