HP does not better in the summer than Fall

[Child of Midian]

Just wanted to clarify in its own topic that the move for HBP from fall to
summer was not to make more money as is commonly stated.

 

Fall:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) $317,557,891

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) $289,994,397

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) $261,970,615

 

Summer:

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) $249,358,727

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) $292,000,866

 

It's also noteworthy that WB isn't thinking this way, regardless of what it
hints at, because DH will come 3 - 6 months apart, so only one half could
possibly be a summer release. But, as you can see, summer does not equal
higher numbers as POA is a summer release with the lowest gross off all the
films, SS is the fall release with the highest gross.
