I know that like a lot of movies HBP will make money through dvd sales and television rights, but when I consider that a movie like The Hangover cost 30 million to make and has made 266 million domestically, I have to believe the people behind HBP made a mistake. For a Harry Potter movie to break even in its inital run seems a huge blunder to me. I consider that a flop, even if it will make money through ancillary channels.
