Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets loses more than it wins in every round — and 36% across 95 matchups is well below the 50% that would mean just holding even. The second Potter film carries the franchise's massive built-in audience but also the awkward-middle-chapter energy that comes with being nobody's favourite instalment. Loyalty to the series does the heavy lifting. It ranks among the weakest 2000s performers on the platform. Fans deliberate — 6.2s avg vs 3.5s platform average.
Synopsis
Cars fly, trees fight back, and a mysterious house-elf comes to warn Harry Potter at the start of his second year at Hogwarts. Adventure and danger await when bloody writing on a wall announces: The Chamber Of Secrets Has Been Opened. To save Hogwarts will require all of Harry, Ron and Hermione’s magical abilities and courage.
Below average at every stage. The opening at 40% come closest to competitive, but "closest to competitive" is the ceiling — the bracket doesn't get easier for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets at any point.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets dominates KPop Demon Hunters at 100%. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban at 8% is the one matchup where that confidence disappears.
#3 of 3 in Chris Columbus's filmography. Home Alone sets the pace at 48%, but Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is competitive with the top of the catalog.
