Warner Bros., which dipped to an uncharacteristic fourth place in market share in 2006, sprung back to second thanks in part to Harry Potter’s return. The boy wizard was missing from the studio’s 2006 slate but returned to action with “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” the second-best domestic grosser in the series. The March release of “300” proved more muscular than anyone expected, the summer escapism of “Ocean’s Thirteen” crossed the $100 million mark without breaking a sweat, and Will Smith delivered the coup de grace as the long-in-development “I Am Legend” paid off with a whopping $206.1 million by year’s end. As the new year begins, production head Jeff Robinov, ascending to a new post as president of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, promises more of the same.
