“Harry Potter” Shatters Box Office Records
The final Harry Potter movie, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" has set a record, taking in the most money ever in a debut weekend.
J.K. Rowling's fantasy story in its final flick took in a whomping $168.6 million.
The debut was more than The Dark Knight, which opened to $158 million in 2008 and went on to collect $533 million, the third highest-grossing film on record.
Analysts say that record could be in jeopardy, though Titanic's $601 million and Avatar's $761 million record grosses benefited from slow winter competition and may be out of reach.
