"Sorry, you HP fans thought you had it in the bag over Twilight, ha!"
"Twilight will always be in HP's shadows�"
OK, so which is it, really? Can't we settle this box-office debate once and for all?
MORE: Answer B!tch's take on the Potter vs. Twilight debate
Sure.
In the battle of the fantastically successful franchises (with the fanatically competitive fan bases), the winner is:
Harry Potter!
In all of Hollywood history, no franchise has grossed more money worldwide. (Forget about Team Twilight's dejection, and imagine how James Bond feels: 007 had a 38-year head start on the Hogwarts kid.)
Er, we mean, Twilight!
In all of Hollywood history, no franchise has made more money faster�at midnight, in a single day, and in an opening day.
Yeah, but Harry Potter movies are marathon runners�not sprinters!
Despite their fast starts, the Twilight films have never outgrossed a Harry Potter film (that's completed its theatrical run) on the all-time worldwide chart.
Yeah, but that's only 'cause the rest of the world is stupid!
On the all-time domestic chart, Eclipse and New Moon have outgrossed every Harry Potter, save Sorcerer's Stone and Half-Blood Prince.
Yeah, but�
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone made so much money that even when its ticket sales are adjusted for inflation, it's still an all-time box-office king, right there next to West Side Story. (Don't bother looking for the Twilight films on that Box Office Mojo chart; they're not there.)
Yeah, but�
The most expensive Twilight movie (Eclipse) cost about one-third of the cheapest Harry Potter film (Chamber of Secrets): The movies get more bang for their studio's bucks!
Oh, never mind�
Harry Potter and Twilight are both fantastically successful franchises, and that's the final verdict. Deal with it.
