| | |  Deathly Hallows: Part I weekend box office: $125.1 mill domestic; $205 mill intl
Warner Bros issued a press release updating on the box office records for this weekend's release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I. On the domestic sale (U.S. and Canada), Deathly Hallows: Part I took in an estimated $125.1 million, the best opening for the series so far, overtaking the previous record-holder, Goblet of Fire by 23 percent. Worldwide, the film made an astounding $205 million USD, including breaking the UK all-time weekend record with £17.5 million ($28 million). The domestic take is one of the largest openings of all time. 
Warner Bros' Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, and Veronika Kwan-Rubinek, President of International Distribution, had this to say on the box office numbers: Quote:
Fellman stated, “This is truly a motion picture phenomenon, and it is just the beginning for the penultimate release of the franchise. Based on the response to the film, we anticipate its success to carry on throughout the holiday season and beyond. It demonstrates once again the enduring power and popularity of Harry Potter.”
Kwan-Rubinek added, “We are thrilled by the enthusiastic response of international audiences. It’s a testament to the extraordinary vision of J.K. Rowling; the talents of the filmmakers, cast and everyone involved in the production; and to the hard work of our distribution and marketing teams around the world.”

I'm so glad it did well! But I knew it would, the film was absolutely spectacular!  I can't wait to see it again, the midnight showing was definitely worth the 2 hours of sleep I got

So glad I contributed to those $125 M, I remember opening night, a lot of people where dressed as Death Eaters, and some where dressing casual, with their wands at hand, just like Harry, Ron and Hermione. The movie is simply Awesome, but I'll post my review later... I took the whole family & some friends, and hopefully next week I'll see it with my brother AGAIN!! YAY!!
By the way, I really had to put this up, I loved the ending, it left you astonished and scared knowing Voldemort got the Elders Wand and he is about to become a more higher powerful force, much darker and evil than before... | |

fantastic!
i saw it again today (in addition to opening night) and i couldn't believe the diversity in the audience. the youngest was probably 10 and the oldest probably 75!
i'm looking forward to seeing it for a third time with my dad & sister. (:

Hopefully I can contribute to that when I see DH two days from now... 
I've heard about DH not being able to beat Eclipse for making the most money during opening weekend or something like that. Great for Eclipse, but I just wish people would stop comparing HP to Twilight, even financial-wise. HP has broken a lot of records before, it's still one of the best-selling franchises ever, AND lots of people still love HP as always. Money doesn't always make the world go round, you know! 
Okay, my tiny rant is over.

Seriously, if you didn't see this coming ... I have to say though I'm sad to see it all coming to an end. And a few people I know saw it 3times alone so ...  is it any wonder the movie is making so much money? LOL Wait until the kids are out for Thanksgiving ...
