Recordus Shatterum! Harry Potter Swan Song Scores Stunning $95 Million Opening Day

Posted on July 16, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Um, wow . With effortless ease, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has poised itself to break virtually every opening-weekend box-office record known to Hollywood, with Friday’s staggering midnight showing folding into a best-ever $95 million opening day. That far exceeds the earlier record of $72 million set by The Twilight Saga: New Moon in 2009, and sets the Potter finale up for a milestone $180 million (or more) three-day total. Not bad! And still, people saw other movies as well — your Friday Box Office is here.
