'Happy Feet' Edges 'Casino Royale' at Box Office'

You know why that happened? Due to Harry Potter.

Confused? Warner Bros. used a clever trick, that they have already used before. They featured an exclusive trailer of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with the release of Happy Feet and I am sure that millions of Harry Potter fans must have gone to watch the film just to see the HP&tOotP trailer. It happened before too when some film featured the trailer of HP&tGoF and fans went to see the film just for the trailer.

lol @ those Smart A$$ !!

Indeed a neat trick.. but i stopped going to movie halls to see any movie since 92.. i download/hire.
