Thanks to all the BREATHLESS HYPE! and CORPORATE SYNERGY! from Big Media, Harry Potter breaks the all-time opening weekend: $93.5M estimated from Friday-Sunday.The AMC Hamilton 24 in New Jersey has 5 prints (the 4 largest halls plus 1 medium-large hall). On my way in Harry Potter was 3PM sold out, 3:30 not sold out, 4PM sold out, 4:30 sold out. On my way out Harry Potter was 5PM not sold out, 6:30 sold out, 7PM not sold out. Did any shows in your theater not sell out? Ironically, on my way out I saw 2 shows of Monsters Inc. had sold out in the medium-large halls.

For a popular picture, I'd much rather see multiple prints per site, rather than risk print damage by interlocking. Theatres also have the advantage of staggered starting times.I sense the repeat business will be pretty good. Good pictures will have "legs". Is this a feature that is attracting people who don't go to the movies very often, like "Titanic" did? Are more families attending, rather than just having the parents drop off the kids?
