As many as three months ago, in a heavily traded long-range projection market, your forecasts pegged “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” as the potential Top Hit of the Summer. Now it’s time to find out. At press time, “Wolverine” is the unlikely champ with an $86 million haul, a title which may well pass to “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” within a few weeks. But with a rabid fanbase still suffering from Potter fever – and with no more books left to read – “Harry” by our lights will be a smash. Wednesday opening revenue may surpass the last “Harry Potter” film’s record-setting take of $44 million (see our one-day market). And the five-day total won’t be “Dark Knight” big – but $120 million isn’t out of the question either. The Summer Movie Challenge reaches its climax as Harry returns July 15. <em>5/30/09</em>.<br /> </span></span> <img src="http://content.mediapredict.com/images/filler.gif" alt="" /> <span class="bodycopynowidth largetext" style="border: 0px solid #000000; padding-right: 0px;"> <strong>THE MARKET: </strong> “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” goes into wide release on <strong>Wednesday, July 15, 2009</strong>. How much will it gross in first five days as first reported by <em>Variety</em>? Each dollar of the share price represents millions of dollars in sales. Shares bought at $45, for example, would be worth $78 if the movie grosses $78 million in that day. Trading closes on July 15 at 9 a.m. ET. <br /> <img src="http://content.mediapredict.com/images/filler.gif" alt="" /> <strong>RESEARCH: </strong> <a href=" http://www.cinemablend.com/features/Search-327.html?cx=partner-pub-5195028014239031%3A70nxiofovo1&cof=FORID%3A11&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=harry+potter&sa=Search#908" target="_blank">News at Cinema Blend</a> :: <a href="http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/harrypotterandthehalf-bloodprince/" target="_blank"> Trailer and Home Page</a>:: <a href=" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417741/" target="_blank">IMDb Page</a> <br /></span></p>
