1) According to <A HREF="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/search/?title=Harry%20Potter%20and%20the%20Chamber%20of%2 0Secrets" TARGET=_blank>Box Office Mojo</A>, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets took in over $29 mil. on day one. However, I think that entire families probably went to HP, as opposed to only (relatively) older children and adults going to see the Two Towers.<P>2) I'm not at all surprised that TT made more than Fellowship. I think it was a more widely anticipated movie than Fellowship; people who, last year, hadn't ever heard of the Lord of the Rings were now waiting anxiously for the 18th.<P>3)I think it'll probably end up with a higher gross, simply because everybody is going to go see it, and even those of us who weren't entirely thrilled will go again. (I'm sticking to my as-many-times-as-possible vow, Faramir or no Faramir.) Some people loved it--a guy I know said he liked it better than Fellowship. So, I don't fear for its gross.<P>Good questions, Diamond!<P>~*~Orual~*~
