| | Harry Potter films boost Cineworld ticket sales
The multiplex-chain, Cineworld, announced that their profits earned this year received a sizable boost thanks to blockbusters such as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Simpsons Movie and Pirates of the Carribean 3.
There is a definite improvement from the £7.7 million loss incurred last year, as they calculated this year's pre-tax profit to be a whopping £12.4 million. Cineworld states that 2007 was a good year for the film industry, as there were many blockbuster hits released to boost the ticket sales.
Cineworld hopes to continue this booming success with many different marketing strategies, such as improved drinks and food sales. With the slowing economy, it will take more blockbuster hits such as another Harry Potter film to keep their ticket sales soaring.

I agree, themore Harry Potters that keep comming out..no cinema theatre will ever have to worry about ticket sales...but it's almost over....so I hope that there will be other great movies like, but unlike HP to be comming out...

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

No surprise there. As long as HP movies are coming out there is going to be a boost in ticket sales!
