Who will get there first?

This sounds but here it goes:

Who do you think will go past Shrek as the top movie of 2001?

Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone
or
Monsters Inc.?

Both movie's have gotten great reviews and have both reached the $200 million mark.

I finally saw Monsters, Inc. last night and it was very good but not as magical as Harry Potter. I think that Harry Potter will have more staying power than Monsters Inc.

I think that Harry Potter will have more staying power than Monsters Inc.

I think that staying power depends on the age group. I think parents of the younger kids will lean towards MI before ever considering HP. Because of their target groups I think they both will hang strong through the season.

It is very, very, VERY close. As of Wednesday, it was like this:

Monsters Inc. $194.3 million
Harry Potter $194.0 million

Let's go Monsters!!

I'm not sure even though I voted for Harry. I personally liked Harry Potter a little better (blush) but I doubt that adults will decide this. I asked my 8 year old and he couldn't decide which he liked better. He finally decided to go with Harry because a boy was in it.

I hope that they both do enormously well and that Lord of the Rings comes along and competes with them too. We all win IMO.

It seems that Harry Potter may get there first. This past weekend box office estimates are this:

Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone #1 $24.05 million Total: $220.1 million
Monsters Inc. #4 $9.41 million Total: $204.3 million

Monsters Inc was good but I enjoyed Harry Potter more. I am part of this weekend's total for Monsters Inc but I would definitely go see Harry Potter again before I go to see Monsters Inc a second time.

I think Monsters Inc. as a better made movie, but Harry will win.

i saw Shrek and Monsters Inc. I loved them both even though i am 15 but i have no desire to ever see Harry Potter.

If I had any time on my hand, I would see Monsters Inc. and Harry Potter again.
