Happy Friday to my Twi-Hearts!
So, who stayed out to wee hours of the night last night to watch 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1'? I know I did. I'm Switzerland when it comes to Team Wizard v. Team Twilight. Convenient, no? Best of both world. Who's with me?
Now, it was widely predicted that the latest installment of the Harry Potter franchise would take place over the records set by the two most recent Twilight films. However the results fell short of what was widely thought to be an easy win for Harry Potter to overtake Twilight records. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 did not set a midnight record over the two most recent Twilight movies, Eclipse and New Moon.
Eclipse brought in $30 million and New Moon earned $26 million at midnight shows. While Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 earned $24 million in its debut during wee hours on Friday.
Regardless of the midnight showing results, Harry Potter will undoubtedly be in the top ten films this year and in all likelihood make the top five. The franchise is also set to overtake Star Wars as the most successful film franchise at the box office.
