| | |  Half-Blood Prince grosses $100 million in 24 hours
Variety reports that in its opening day of release Half-Blood Prince grossed over $100 million internationally. Of that, $58.2 million was aquired domestically with $45.9 million taken elsewhere around the world, reaching a total tally of $104 million - the best ever opening for the franchise. Quote:
Domestic theater count for "Half-Blood Prince" is 4,275 heading into the weekend. Pic's debut was slightly more staggered overseas. On Wednesday, the film opened on 10,500 screens in 33 markets. It moved into more territories on Thursday, and this weekend, it will be playing on roughly 15,000 screens in 64 markets.
In the UK the film had the third best opening day ever ($7.6 million from 1,305 screens), the second highest in Italy ($4 million from 923) and the third highest in Australia ($4.4 million from 484). In Holland, it had the biggest opening of all time at $1.3 million. Quote:
"With many countries yet to open, these already outstanding box office numbers are another testament to the universal appeal of J.K. Rowling's stories and the work of everyone behind the 'Harry Potter' films," said Warners prexy of intl. distribution Veronika Kwan-Rubinek.

Wow...HOLLAND! I just love how Worldwide and Universal Harry Potter is. It's amazing!
I've already seen it 3 times! I'm in LOVE with this movie! It's absolutely brilliant! I wasn't even sure I liked it the first time I saw it, but it's soooo GOOD! I can't wait to see what they do with Deathly Hallows! | |

It should have been even more money. Even though I haven't seen it yet I hope its gonna be better than what I've been hearing. But it does seem that the movies are straying very far away from the books as of late.
