"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is on pace for about an $85 million opening weekend, which obliterates the 4 year old record by "The Lost World" at $72.1 million. "Harry Potter" is going to be the year's top grosser with "Shrek" and "Monsters, Inc." close behind.
I do think that LOTR will be a huge hit and end up as one of the top five biggest hits of 2001. New Line will be ecstatic if it earns over $200 million domestically, which I believe it will. I think the top five flicks of 2001 will look something like this...
#1 "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" $350 million
#2 "Shrek" $267 million
#3 "Monsters, Inc." $250 million
#4 "The Lord of the Rings" $235 million
#5 "Rush Hour 2" $227 million
