They didn't add in the international totals for yesterday, only domestic. I wonder when they'll add those :-? I already got my tickets for Saturday and Sunday \:D/
Domestic is usually 1/3 of the total WW box office. Seeing as $45M was made during the past three days, I would estimate the foreign take to be around $90M.
Alcohol and calculus don't mix. Never drink and derive.
Harry Potter is now the highest grossing franchise domestically, beating Star Wars.
And considering Star Wars had tons of re-releases, released in a time when going to a movie was easy for everyone in the world and affordable, and when there wasn't 2-6 films released every goddamn week, this is quite the achievement.
Edit: And there was no 'now I can go home and watch it on the computer' or 'I'll wait to rent it' or any of that.

You're right. Even though Star Wars has 2x as many admissions, it is a feat like no other that HP is doing what it is doing being released almost every year in the toughest film environment ever.
"If you make yourself more than just a man... If you devote yourself to an ideal... You become something else entirely- A Legend."
the attendance in Star Wars is of course bigger than Harry Potter since there are no DVD, Internet Video rentals (not to mention piracy) back then, they have to watch the movie in theaters if they want to see it again. same goes to other HP films with "low" attendance.

basically, HP has beaten SW in the US even with all re-releases xD
Harry Potter has not been re-released one single time, and even like that still surpassed its gross
star wars fans were saying "SW has only 6 movies", but they count grosses 14 times there, while HP has only 8
+ Foreign: $425,300,000
$651,413,000
