Will “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” be the biggest yet in the series?
Online movie ticket sales company Fandango is suggesting it may be.
“Nearly 500 show times of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (opening next Tuesday night at midnight) are sold out across the country,” Fandango reported Thursday.
The new movie is “the biggest Harry Potter film yet for the company, at this point in the film's sales cycle,” Fandango reported. “The sixth Potter is selling twice the amount of tickets that the fifth Harry Potter movie sold at the same point on Fandango.”
Potter represents 65 percent of the company’s daily ticket sales, it said, followed by “Bruno” with 19 percent.
According a poll of Fandango customers:
-- 82% have viewed Half-Blood Prince trailers or clips online.
-- 52% said they found the story's darker elements most appealing, while 15% picked the romance and 9% picked the comic, lighter elements.
-- 48% selected Emma Watson as the Potter lead actor most likely to become a major movie star in the next five years; while only 9% picked Rupert Grint and 43% picked Daniel Radcliffe.
-- 47% of parents say they're more comfortable letting their children see the latest Harry Potter movie due to its PG rating (the last two Potter movies were rated PG-13).
