I don't think even Warner Bros. expected this.
According to Deadline Hollywood the first day of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 has grossed an unheard of $92mil(!!). That shatters the old record of $73mil made by 2010's TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE.
To put this in perspective, the #1 opening weekend of 2011 was TRANSFORMERS 3D with $97mil. And that took THREE days.
What will the weekend bring? If it's really front-loaded it could still be close to $180-200mil weekend (the record is $158mil for THE DARK KNIGHT). We'll have to see Saturday's numbers first.
Oh yeah, the rest didn't really matter on Friday but here goes:
2. Transformers 3D $6.8mil Fri/$21mil wkd.
3. Horrible Bosses $5.0mil Fri/$15mil wkd. (down 49% from last Fri)
4. Zookeeper $3.6mil Fri/$11mil wkd. (down 51% from last Fri)
5. Cars 2 $2.7mil Fri/$8.5mil wkd.
6. Winnie the Pooh $2.0mil Fri/$7.0mil wkd.

It won't beat The Dark Knight, it CAN'T beat The Dark Knight--Batman is infinitely cooler than a bunch of British teens who practice magic!
ReplyDeleteSorry J, the times, they are a changin'...
ReplyDeleteAnd besides, how many other series can you think of that got bigger each film/book? (save for a couple of parts)
$180mil weekend trumps KNIGHT's $158 :)
