How much money do you guys think the new Harry Potter film is going to make? Well, the Whiskey staff offer their predictions! 
  

THAT'S MILLION BUCKS

Neat.  
 
Also, I think that since a couple years have passed since Dark Knight, and the US monies have inflated since then, I think it could top it, though I also think that would be sad. 

Rorie must have an external hard drive full of videos of puppies and kittens.

Edit: 140 MILLION BUCKS!!!

i'm gonna go high and say 168 though it could go higher. this is part one of the end book. this is the beginning of the climactic end for this series. people all over are gonna come out of the woodworks for this movie like no ones business. i feel sorry for the russell crowe and the crew of the next three days because that movie will prolly do ok but it'll get squashed by HP. i will not be shocked if it beats dark knight for opening weekend record. i look forward to seeing it this weekend. hopefully thursday night.

No way it beats the Dark Knight. Maybe 135 million bucks.

Well if anything we have confirmation that Brad and Drew are back safe and sound.
 
I'm going to say $138 million. Only Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 AKA The final Harry Potter film will break $150 million.

Matt's  totally work related animal research is pleasing.
 
Also, put me down for 145 mil, give or take 5 million. 
 
@rjayb89: Not just videos. He has literal puppies and kittens hidden there. It's oddly spacious...

Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but is the winner who's closest, or who's closest without going over? I'm assuming the former.
 
In any case, I'm going wildly pessimistic by comparison. $88 million. I'm banking on growing movie apathy.

125 and part 2 beating Dark Knight

I don't bet because my luck is like a flat tire. It's around, but it doesn't roll. I do like watching other people bet money. Probably because it's no risk on my part. Heh.
 
Also, I like how Drew comes into frame at the last bit of the video. I feel like he could get away with "Hey guys, I'm back from Korea, no big deal."

$140 000 000 is my guess

Here's where we're at so far.  Still waiting on a few...

lol Rorie loves puppies!!!   I say 150 million

I'll say $130 Million.

I'm gonna go with Drew and say $145 million.

" I'll say $130 Million. "

I'm going for $145 million. I think the last two have much more of a draw than the past few due to the climactic events.

I bet one dollar!

I don't know. I think a lot of people might be turned off by the whole 'part 1' thing.

Put me down for 133 million.

Can't wait to see the results.

$146 million.
 
Edit: Fuck that... Twilight made 142 million... I change my bet to 165 million.

7 dollars

155 million.

five grand.

130 million puppies

Theres a ton of Harry Potter fans, I'm sure it will do really well. Lets say $145 mil opening weekend.

$140 mil. 

I'll eat the socks that I'm wearing if it beats Dark Knight.

" 125 and part 2 beating Dark Knight "

ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

I'm saying $125mill. 
and way to be indecisive Norm. Indecisiveness always wins. I think it does.. does it?

I'm saying $130 million, but part two will make closer to $150 million based on the fact that it will be the absolute last Potter film and everyone will want to be apart of the event.  I'm also planning to see this movie twice this opening weekend, so if enough people are as retarded as I am, this movie will make some CASH.

775 Million. That's million bucks, and so on :P

775 Million

170 million.  It's going to be bananas.

" 775 Million "

Probably more money than Paris Hilton can make in one night.

Twilight and Harry Potter is totally the same demographic.  
 
Also, I'm going low. $115 million.

$165 mil.

135 is my guess.

So who's going to kill Steve since he bet his life?

120 million

Why are you all going so high when the last two films in the series both made $77 million opening weekend? Only one of the films ever made more than $100 million on its first weekend and this film has a number of factors working against it.
 
It is part 1 of a 2 parter. It isn't in 3D and the time between its release and the last film is the shortest for the series which doesn't allow for as great a build up.
 
I say $115 million too.
