‘Harry Potter’ tickets sales getting bigger
MUMBAI: Advance sales of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince are showing more than those of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen or the fifth Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at a similar point in their sales cycles.
Eight days before its July 15 opening, Prince accounted for 65 per cent of daily ticket sales, said an online ticketer.
In a related promo, the online ticketer said that a poll of more than 3,000 visitors to its website found that 85 per cent of respondents had read all seven Potter books.
Prince is the sixth Potter film of a planned eight; Warners is splitting the seventh book into two movies.
