It's very likely we'll take the Midnight and Opening Day records, but Opening weekend...? Idk. We might beat Spiderman 3, but I'm not sure if we can beat TDK. At worst, we'll land in 3rd place all time and beat New Moon.
BREAKING NEWS... I've learned that Warner Bros is giving Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 a mega-release into 4,375 theaters and over 11,000 screens in North America alone on Friday. This will make it the widest domestic Harry Potter release of all time. The film will be shown in 3,000 3D locations, which constitutes a motion picture industry record, and on 4,250 3D screens. It will play at 274 IMAX venues, another industry record, as well as 120 Premium Large Format cinemas, also an industry record, and 270 drive-ins, another industry record. When the pic opens at Thursday midnight, Part II will be playing in at least 3,800 theaters. But I'm told that number is climbing by the hour. Already Warner Bros naticipates 300 Harry Potter marathons playing all seven of the movies ending at midnight Thursday with the 8th unreeling. There are 1,100 theaters planning to play HP 7A into 7B that midnight. "We are positioned to exceed the largest Harry Potter opening box office of all time," a Warner Bros top exec tells me confidently. Remember, it's already the largest-grossing franchise in motion picture history.
It's still only Wednesday morning -- but Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part II is already Fandango's top ticket-seller of 2011 with 48 hours to spare. Fandango just told me it has sold more tickets for the 3D pic than it has sold for any other movie this year, including pre-release and post-release ticket sales for The Hangover Part II, Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, and Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The Harry Potter franchise finale has already sold out more than 5,000 showtimes across the country before its official Friday opening, and theater owners keep adding screenings to keep up with fan demand in all 50 states. Right now the pic is trending to become the all-time #2 pre-seller in Fandango's 11-year history, following only 2009's The Twilight Saga: New Moon. This final adventure is currently conjuring up 91% of Fandango's daily ticket sales. "It's our fastest-selling movie of the year and our best-selling Potter movie of all time," Fandango EVP and General Manager Rick Butler says in a statement. "The first Potter helped put advance ticketing on the map in 2001, so it's fitting that the grand finale would break records with fans on our Web site and mobile applications."
It broke midnight records in France... Even though it was one of the only films to ever have midnights lol
It will also break OD records in Hong Kong. It also is opening on a record amount of screens in Australia, and is set to break opening day and weekend records there. Credit BOM and WoKJ.
OD and OW records are going down down baby all over the world.

I wonder how many who've never seen a Potter film in their life are going to see Rotten Tomatoes and be like holy hell! I gotta see what's up with this...
One of my friends! Loll, he's seen like the 1st and 2nd, doesn't like it, but I showed him the 96% and he flipped, loll.
