Potter Is Biggest Franchise Ever The success of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has made Warner Brothers' boy-wizard films the top-grossing franchise in movie history, the studio announced.
The combined worldwide box-office gross for the five Harry Potter films to date is more than $4.47 billion, surpassing the box-office totals of all 22 James Bond films and the six Star Wars movies, the studio said on Sept. 10. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is still going strong in theaters around the globe, and two more films are in the works: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, based on J.K. Rowling's beloved books. All five of the Potter films so far have found themselves among the 20 largest-grossing box-office hits of all time. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will open on Nov. 21, 2008. The seventh and final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is planned for a 2010 release. http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=44032 Yahoo!
