The certain $500 million domestic box office take of The Dark Knight has moved Warner Bros. past Paramount/DreamWorks in the 2008 market share race, and, with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince set for November, the studio seemed a lock to sail past Sony's 2006 domestic box office record of $1.71 billion. The 2008 release schedule got a major shake-up on Thursday, however, as Warner Bros. shifted Half-Blood Prince to July 17 next summer. Warner Bros. still seems likely to be Hollywood's No. 1 studio for this year, edging Paramount/DreamWorks, and they seem destined to post at least the second-best all-time annual domestic haul with something over $1.6 billion. And, as the studio continues to juggle its release schedule, it is not inconceivable that Warner Bros. could still top the Sony record, even without HP6.
