POA Smashes the box office - Summary:
And a UK record Article:
Thanks to Mugglenet Quote: Five days prior to its U.S. premiere Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban smashed opening day records in the United Kingdom. The newest installment of the seven-part Harry Potter series was released on May 31 (Monday) to capitalize on the local holiday, which incidentally is also the first day of school half-term holidays. Azkaban grossed a colossal $9.2m (£5.03m) from 535 locations in its opening day, which was the biggest opening day and single day of all time. The Prisoner of Azkaban was the first film ever to gross over £5m in a single day in the U.K. Its predecessor's had nowhere near that amount of money on their official opening days. The Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone opened on November 16, 2001 and grossed $3.9m (£2.1m) from 505 screens while The Chamber of Secrets grossed $3.99m (£2.18m) from 522 sites on its first day on November 15, 2002. The Chamber of Secrets went on to record the then highest single day gross with its Saturday (November 16,2002) take of $7.9m (£4.3m). Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban opens in 50+ territories on Wednesday-Saturday, excluding, most notably, several Scandinavian territories and Japan.

On Entertainment tonight they said how Harry Potter is going to most likely end Shrek's reign at the box office because of the huge opening day for it in the UK, can't wait to see those figures!

Lol I am not suprised either. I am so glad that I have booked my tickets here because everyone is waiting to see it here and the newspaper has had so many articles about it as well as the TV and radio, in fact there is an advertisment for it right now on the radio! Lol!
