Harry Potter Vs. Attack of the Clones

Attack of the Clones / Harry Potter

by E. Charl Hattingh

'Harry Potter' to Beat 'Attack of the Clones'!

Allow me to let you in on a little secret. The way that it is going now, Attack of the Clones won't even beat that little boy wizard at the box office! Yes, after three weekends, prospects of AOTC making the $300 million mark seems a little iffy. With my calculations, I see this movie making just about the $300 million mark, down an unbelievable $131 million from The Phantom Menace. Will Star Wars fans be able to stand the humiliation of being beat by Harry Potter (which made about $317 million)?

May I let you in on another little secret? If Attack of the Clones doesn't make it to $285 million, even McCauley Culkin (Home Alone) will beat it! That would be a travesty! That's what this article is all about. I want Star Wars fans out there to see AOTC this upcoming weekend like it was the premiere weekend. Okay, I'm not expecting an $80 million weekend but please don't let this movie fall down another 50% to $10 million. Let's show our support for George Lucas who has brought a series of movies to our lives that stretches our imagination to a galaxy far, far away.

Mr. Lucas created these first two episodes with money right out of his pocket, and has said that if the movies don't make enough money, he won't be able to make the next installment. So let's show our support and go out and see the movie two or three times again this weekend. We'll make Thursday night the new opening night for this movie. Go out and see it on Thursday and then go out and see it over the weekend again. Maybe we can all secure another $20 million+ weekend for Attack of the Clones so that the movie can at least make it to $320 million, beating Harry Potter.

We all know that this movie is something very special. People that I have talked to have said that this installment is the best Star Wars ever, yet the weekend numbers are falling every week. So, to all Star Wars fans out there, once again I plead you to go out and see this movie again this upcoming weekend. Just go and see it at least once. Tell all your friends to go see it with you again. We can't have Harry Potter and McCauley Culkin beating Star Wars, can we?
