Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix descends today on more than 9,000 screens in 4,285 locations, making it Warner Bros.' widest release ever and the summer's most omnipresent offering since Pirates of the Caribbean 3. It also marks the first time a Potter pic has premiered midweek, affording it a five-day opening. Translation: Abracaching.
Though the franchise's review-proof fifth entry is garnering some middling reactions from film mavens, RottenTomatoes.com reports that the critical consensus is 74 percent favorable.
