The film is predicted to break the weekend box office record, currently held by Warner Bros' 2008 release of The Dark Knight, the second installment in Christopher Nolan's Batman series, which made $158.4 million three summers ago.

Deathly Hallows: Part 2 also broke the IMAX sales record for Thursday night opening, making $2 million domestically. We will have final weekend box office records in a matter of days.

Wooooooooooooow. They'll beat Dark Knight easily. HP ♥

...and my boyfriend said it wasn't going to do well opening weekend. Ha. I can't wait to see it tomorrow!

yaaaaaaaaaaaaay it's an amazing movie i saw it in dubai IMAX on 13 july cannot believe it just finished i will never stop visiting SS

Yay! <33 I can't wait to see it tonight! ♥

Haha, and I couldn't help but feel happy that I contributed a bit by spending my own money for the midnight premiere. :D

To anyone who went to the 3D midnight premiere, did anyone keep their HP-shaped 3D glasses? I did. :xd:

Yes!!! Go HP :D Hope it'll beat Avatar!

the man said the HP glasses are expensive and gave me the other normal one (eventhough i would return either of them ) and he smiled that nasty smile , i justed wished i could hit him :@ :D

Whoo! Cool :D Love Live Harry Potter!!

omg yay for them! ima see it today

Yay! Go HP :D

it will shatter black knight

awesome!

There was just no way I could throw them out, so of course!

So glad I could contribute to that awesome total!

After seeing all of the people at the theater(20 screening rooms) lined up at 8:15 for the midnight showing, and all of the people who went to see DH1 followed by DH2, the box office take should shatter every record made and set a bar so high that no other film will catch it, hopefully, ever!

definitely, the event of a lifetime

I'm glad I contributed!! Going again this weekend, hopefully! (:
:woot: Go Harry Potter!!

I can't believe this! :woot: HP is awesome! <3

wow! hey the harry potter glasses u could keep them?

Oh yes, weren't we right everyone?! Just wait...it'll surpass all the other records and will hopefully break the biggest grossing movie ever record!

They told us to recycle the glasses, but I walked out with them on my head and no one said a word. :xd:

So glad I contributed to this! :woot: And I plan to see it again while wearing the free shirt that I got from last night's fesitivities.

Wow, that's why they call it a summer blockbuster!

I wanted to see it so bad I spent $30 bucks on tickets for my friend and me to see it. It was worth every penny.
