Deathly Hallows: Part 2 top-grossing 2011 film in U.S. & Canada; 3rd all-time int'l
 

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has now surpassed Transformers: Dark of the Moon today, becoming the top film of 2011 in the U.S. and Canada. As of Tuesday, August 9th, Deathly Hallows: Part 2 brought in $344.9 million in the domestic box office, just passing the third installment in the Transformers series, which has so far made $344.7 million since its release in late June 2011.

Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is also now the third highest-grossing film of all time in international markets, behind filmmaker James Cameron's Avatar and Titanic, and has thus far brought in $1,136.0 billion. It is assumed that the film will probably never pass Titanic's record of over $1.8 billion, especially given the blockbuster's 3D re-release in 2012.

Yay! I am happy! :woot: Congratulations to Harry Potter!

I'm so pleased the end of Harry potter is going out with a bang, it's a brilliant film!!

Yay! Im so happy the movie is doing so well in the box office. About time! :D

Alright, go DH2!!!! Glad it's doing so well, though I doubt anyone's all that surprised.

Oh man! The movie was amazing! Tomorrow I'm going to go see it for my 5th time ^_^
I can't get enough of it!!!

If Harry doesn't over take the titanic i will be disappointed. I'll conceed the top spot to Avatar very reluctantly. But surely all us 'potter fans for life' worldwide should get it to 2 billion? it hasn't been out a month yet!

No way! :faint: Wicked! This is so cool! Congratulations, Harry Potter! :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: Part 2 was such an amazing film :) I wonder if I can go watch it again....

Congratulations Harry Potter you deserve it :)

I'm super exited for them, and even if it won't reach higher then number 3 it's still pretty darn impressive, congrats the the cast and crew of this film, I'm happy to see that their hard work is continuing to pay of.

congratz!

So happy!! :woot:

I hope it continues to go up though! :D

Congrats!!!!!! I'm just happy that Part II made the top 3. :D Wouldn't care if it beat James Cameron's movies or not. (Cause that guy is one crazy director. :blink:)

Congratulations HP7-2! :chrleadr:

I am so happy! :ballet: It's a success, guys!

yay !!! i also heard we beat lord of the rings !

This is fantastic! Although Titanic will always be my #1 favorite movie of all time, Deathly Hollows deserves this! Way to go Harry Potter! :D

Even though it may not surpass Titanic, I think it is more than enough that HP got the top 3 spot!Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!Congratz for a well deserved recognition!!!!!!!!! :woot:

Wooooo!!! :D

Yeah, I don't think so - BUT I also think that the sales of Titanic 3D won't add to the original version. I think it will be released as a '2012' version - even though it's the same movie. I hope so anyway... But YAY!! Harry Potter, I knew you could do it. Now we all have to make sure Twilight doesn't get higher....
