Can I just say - DUH!!
I know that there are people who have seem the movie more than twice, like I have, so if you stop to think about how that multiplies worldwide, it does not surprise me. What got me into the theater again was the IMAX--way cool!

Order of the Phoenix ROCKS! i think that the reason why this became even more successful was because people who don't read the books thought that this might be the end for Harry. and of course Dumbledore's Army and the kissing scene. so much more surprises in this film.

That is so great! Go ootp! Personally HP is not for kids or adults who just like "adventure" and exciting scenes - it's become a whole lot deeper...

I went 3 extra times just to watch the final fight scene. That scene was fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.

Brilliant...But, I think, its because the movie is being seen in other parts of the world that never had the HP films before.

Does this mean that OotP is going to be the most profitable of all the movies? It's only been 50 days after all.

No surprise that this surpassed GOF in ticket sales. IMAX 3D helped that. The ticket price for that is $14.00 where I live.
This is still not my favorite HP movie and I don't think it's the best. But money talks and that's what movie makers care about most.
It's sad that they are saying that David Yates did a great job directing because he did not. Cuaron and Newell did a better job to me.
Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. Case in point Britney Spear records have sold millions. Why?

Well I would hope they keep making more and more money. The movies are getting better and more people are realizing how great Harry Potter is.

I'm always surprised at how much money these movies generate even over a month after its release.
Big numbers, big success.

I don't think ANY of us are surprised about how well the movie did and is still doing. The DVD sales will put it right up there. Can't wait to see the extras.

This suggests that CC's interpretations did not live up to peoples' expectations. Obviously, the opinion is improving, which is good.

I'm not the least bit surprised that OotP grossed so much money... I saw it 3 times myself and could have gone again but everyone was sick of me asking them if they wanted to go. This was my favorite HP movie so far..just in front of PoA!

I do suppose that this movie has already broken all IMAX 3D records by now, and by the time it's done may finish a close second after Philosopher's Stone. I really liked the movie except the fast pace and the 'No Quidditch' aspect.
