Magnaholdings Sale the bounty
'Harry Magnaholdings Outlet UK 
Potter' Works Magic as Russell Crowe's Star Fades If hollywood moguls needed 
final proof that the movie franchise is king and that the venerable notion of 
star power is kaput, they found it by glancing at the weekend's box-Office 
numbers.Harry potter and the deathly hallows part 1 bludgeoned the competition, 
and russell crowe, who starred in the only other big new film http://www.babeloo.co.uk/ opening this 
weekend, had the bloodiest face of all.The erstwhile cinderella man got knocked 
out of the ring. According to early studio estimates, dh1 will have earned 
$125.1 million in its first three days in North American theaters.That's 23% 
higher than the previous best potter opening, last year's half-Blood prince, and 
the sixth best debut ever. (Without adjusting for inflation, that is.Weekend at 
$28 million, is the fourth highest all-Time figure, with half-Blood prince still 
the champ at $236 million. (See time's review of the next three days. ) The 
potter party began midnight thursday, with s that pulled in $24 million the 
third biggest sleepover in this new blockbuster tradition, after the eclipse and 
new moon episodes of the twilight saga.There must have been a couple of million 
sleepy kids at school friday morning because although their older siblings, who 
grew up with the franchise, are still loyal too most of the opening-Weekend 
audience was under 24.Aiming to meet demand with supply, warner bros.Opened the 
film on a gargantuan 9, 400 screens. (Gone are the days when some moviegoers 
hung back to catch up with a movie later, after the mob dissipated;If you wanted 
to see dh1 this weekend, you could. )Imax played the film on 239 of its screens, 
contributing a record $12.4 million.All in all, a big haul Magnaholdings North Face outlet for 
deathly hallows part 1.The take for deathly hallows part 2, next july's series 
windup, should be magical. Every other picture at the weekend banquet got 
scraps.In slots 2 to 5 were dreamworks animation's 3-D comedy megamind, 
continuing nicely at $16.2 million, but which in two and a half very healthy 
weeks still hasn't earned as much as DH1 did in three days;The denzel washington 
runaway-Train drama unstoppable, at $13.1 million;The buddy-Road-Trip movie due 
date, with $9.1 million;And the next three days, the new film headlining 
washington's nemesis from american gangster, russell crowe.Confidential.In 2000 
he was the main attraction in the boffo gladiator($187 million domestic gross), 
and a year later carried a much chancier project, A Beautiful Mind, to $170 
million domestic.In doing so, he became the only actor to be top-Billed in 
consecutive winners of the academy award for best picture. (For you oscar 
completists, clark gable was billed above claudette colbert in it happened one 
night, which swept the oscars in 1935, but below charles laughton in the 1936 
winner, mutiny on Magnaholdings 
Sale the bounty.And walter pidgeon was at the head of the cast in the 
1942 oscar champ, how green was my valley, but billed behind greer garson the 
following year in mrs.Miniver. ) (See time's review of the new harry potter 
movie. ) With crowe's rough good looks, his movie magnetism and his uncanny 
ability to infiltrate the wide range of characters he's played not to mention a 
pugnacious temperament that often spilled onto the tabloids' front pages he 
ought to have kept moviegoers queuing for his worthy films.He didn't.After a 
beautiful mind, and discounting the washington-Starring american gangster, no 
film with crowe as its top attraction earned even $100 million domestic until 
this year's robin hood and that one cost twice as much to produce as it earned 
in north america.Most of his recent films stall at $30 million to $50 million, 
which is not good news for a man who wants to be paid a star's salary, thus 
goosing the expenses while the box-Office revenue stays stagnant. An actor will 
have limited appeal if he appears almost exclusively in dramas, if he appeals 
only to the minority movie demographic of adults.And if he's not denzel 
washington.Crowe needs to lighten up in his choice of genres an intelligent 
romantic comedy would be a smart move and find a hot 20-Something to share the 
screen with.Emma watson, or emma stone, stay near your cell phone.You could be 
getting a call from russell crowe in the next three days.
