With only 50 days in release Order of the Phoenix has become the second most successful film in the Harry Potter franchise.
The fifth movie in the franchise has garnered
$896,450,119 worldwide since it's release on July 21 surpassing the fourth movie Goblet of Fire by $437,083. Order ticket sales in the U.S. have yet to surpass those of Goblet of Fire.

Duh. Hehe! HP pulls in the $$$! I really hope the next two HP films knock down LOTR, Pirates and if possible, Titanic to gain the first 3 spots for best grossing movie of all time.

OOTP is an awesome movie! for me, so far it's the closest possible to the book and it really had a whole new level of intensity to it. and the young actors are becoming more and more oscar-worthy with their performances

That is so cool!! The Order of the Pheonix was such a good movie, I bet it will make even more money once the film is out on dvd.

Well, as usual more and more people go to see the movies as they go on. Of course since HPSS is the first one, that probably be outrun quite yet. It may later on down the road, but I don't think quite yet.

Very impressive. But this really should be no surprise. Movie prices have gone up substantially since the first film was released. You should be more surprised if it made less.

Wow! I think that great! Order of the Phoenix was my favourite of the Harry Potter films! The fact that it made so much money must mean that there are a lot of movie goers out there with good taste!

I think that since we are only 50 days into the OotP release, there is a very good chance that it will surpass SS (PS) in $ success! It was a great movie!

That's great news for WB. Let's hope the movie keeps gaining and gaining. Hopefully the last two will do even better than this movie and the first movie.

Wow!!!!!!! That is a lot of money! Ha ha, but they deserve it, OotP was the best movie yet, in my opinion anyways.

I'm also very happy to hear that OOTP did so well.
Wonder which movie will end up as the top Harry Potter movie, in terms of box office sales though...

Tao says:
Not surprising. This was the best movie of the franchise, which is saying something considering how much I didn't like the book. And how much everyone was upset over losing WIOK. It also says something considering there was a fear that since PoA did so badly in a summer release that OotP would too. But hopefully that means that they won't ask Alfonso back since his adaption made the least. While it was cinimatically amazing, but he killed the storyline where Ron is concerned.
OotP only needs about 6 million to surpass GoF in US sales too. Probably another few weeks and that will happen.

Well, i'm certainly not surprised that it did so well! But of course it wasn't going to pass the records set by the first movie. Only the last movie may be able to do that.

Wow, That figure is awesome! OotP was just amazing, so they deserve it! Congrats! =D
The first HP has done well but it won't hold that record for long.. especially after the last two movies come out.. Can't wait!

Wow, that's a lot. I wonder if Deathly Hallows will surpass all of them when it comes out because it's the last one?? It'll be interesting to see what the total box office gross will be once all seven movies have gone through theatres. I bet it'll be HUGE!!!

That is AMAZING! Oh my god, I can't belive it (well actually I can) But WOW! I'm almost positive that the last movie is going to be the best because everyone wants to go see the end of it all! They still did a fantastic job though.
