Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 breaks box office records
We all knew it was going to be big, but Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is record-breakingly huge! The final film in the Harry Potter saga has broken the record for the biggest box office gross in one day.
Deathly Hallows: Part 2 raked in $92m in the US on it’s release on Friday, dwarfing the total earned by The Twilight Saga: New Moon which took $72m. In the UK the film earned £9m, the biggest ever single-day taking, and the final Harry Potter film took in $75m internationally. The global total comes close to $250! And if all that wasn’t quite impressive enough Deathly Hallows: Part 2 also set a new record for takings at midnight screenings, earning $43m, easily trumping the record previously held by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse which took in $30m on its release.
Warner domestic distribution president Dan Fellman commented to Variety (probably while chugging back bottles of Champagne),
"What an incredible beginning for the movie that ends it all. Everyone at Warner Bros joins me in congratulating the many people behind the Harry Potter films. We know this is just the start of what promises to be an astounding weekend and a magical summer."
