Half-Blood Prince tracking ahead of 4 of 5 Potter films
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trails only 2005’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in pre-sales at MovieTickets.com at the same point in the sales cycle (15 days prior to release).
Two weeks prior to its release, “Half-Blood Prince” is selling at a pace similar to that of Dark Knight and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, according to MovieTickets.com. It’s selling ahead of the other four previous Harry Potter films at this point.
Fandango.com reported that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince represented 22% of ticket sales on the site as of 12 noon PT Monday.
A Fandango survey of moviegoers planning to see Half-Blood Prince in the theater reveals the following:
· 83% of respondents have seen all of the Harry Potter films in a theater.
· 86% have read all seven Potter books.
· 56% of respondents say Half-Blood Prince’s release date change (from November ‘08 to July ‘09) has not affected their interest in the film, while 32% say they are even more interested in seeing it this month than they were in 2008.
· 40% say they plan to see the movie in both the standard format and in the IMAX presentation.
· 49% of respondents are 18-34 years old; 31% have kids.
