Well as two weeks ago was all about TF3, this weekend was all about the boy wizard and his friends. Numerous records were smashed up worse than Hogwarts after a Death Eater attack. The North American, International and Worldwide opening records all went bye bye. The Dark Knight’s N. American record of $158.4m was passed as HP7.2 took in $169..2m. That record contained a couple of other records too. Firstly Twilight: Eclipse’s Midnight opening record of $30m was soundly beaten with a $43.5m gross. The $48.6m that HP7.2 took during the ‘normal’ Friday hours, gave the film an opening day total of $92.1, this time taking a record from Twilight: New Moon. (Previous opening day record of $72.7m)
The $481.5m global take passed the previous record of $394m held by Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince. Also passed was the record for biggest international opening ($260.4m); made only a matter of weeks ago by Pirates of the Caribbean 4. HP7.2 grossed $312.3m. It seems likely that the film will live up to moat analysts expectations and join Pirates 4 as the 9th film to ever gross over $1b. The only real question would seem to be how far past that point it can go.
Speaking of the Billion Dollar club, Transformers: Sark of The Moon continues to edge closer o that figure. Despite the onslaught of HP7.2 and the loss of man 3D screens to that film, TF3 still managed a $60m weekend (which also helped it pass the international total of TF2, $434,185,358. Add to that the fact that the film has still to open in China and Japan and the film seems certain to gross over $900m.

*North America includes The US & Canada. **Fast 5 opened 1 week before the official summer movie season, but to all intents & purposes it’s a ‘Summer Movie’. Besides 11 Years ago Summer season didn’t kick off until US Memorial day at the end of May, maybe another change is coming.
