In fact the film conjured up the highest grossing opening weekend of all time (beating $150-million+ opening of The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 3) with $169.2 million which included a record-breaking midnight tally of $43.5 million and a mind-blowing $91.1 million opening day, both records held by Twilight films Eclipse and New Moon respectively.
The story was the same worldwide as the film notched a record $312.3 million internationally dethroning the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film which came out earlier this summer. All in all, the last Harry Potter film took in a massive $481.5 million worldwide besting the series' sixth film, Half Blood Prince. Basically, its opening gross was nothing short of magical.
In other box office news, Transformers: Dark of the Moon became the first 2011 release to pass the $300 million milestone while Midnight in Paris officially passed Hannah and Her Sisters to become Woody Allen's highest grossing film grossing to-date $41.3 million. Finally, the only film to open against Harry Potter, Winnie the Pooh opened with $7.8 million.
