OF ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES THE MASKED AVENGERS by Matt Seveik and Max Kructzer, for The University Daily Kansan There was such an anticipa 'Harry Potter' sequel opens today The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Harry Potter's got his work cut out for him to match his box-office grades from freshman year. The boy wizard's second film adventure, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, opens today on even more screens in more theaters than Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone did a year ago. But it may face a bit of a sophomore jinx. Distributor Warner Bros., concedes Chamber of Secrets may have a hard time equaling the $90.3 million opening weekend of Sorcerer's Stone. tion for the opening of the first one that it would really be extremely difficult and unrealistic that we could open to a number quite that large," said Dan Fellman, Warner's head of domestic distribution. Still, as they did for Sorcerer's Stone, night owls were expected to line up Thursday night for the earliest screenings, a minute after midnight. "People just want to be part of that craze," said Art Levitt, chief executive of Fandango Inc., which sells movie tickets online. "They want to be the first ones in to see it." Adapted from the second of J.K. Rowling's best-selling books. Chamber of Secrets follows Harry through year two at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he has a rematch with the evil conjurer who killed his parents. Chamber of Secrets will open in a record 3,682 theaters,10 more than "Sorcerer's Stone," and play on a record 8.500 screens, up about 400 over the first film. While it may not break cash records, early reviews generally are calling Chamber of Secrets a better movie than Sorcerer's Stone. That's a sign the new film may have more staying power and eventually exceed the $317.6 million total taken in by Sorcerer's Stone.
