It might be the end for Harry and friends, but it's only the beginning of box office glory for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2.
The final film in the hugely successful series took $447 million (US$476 million), smashing records to become the highest opening weekend ever at the global box office (including 59 countries). That's a mighty lot of Potterites packing the multiplexes!
Australia alone recorded $26.7 million over the weekend, with $7 million of that earned just on its opening day. The eight-film series is the highest-grossing franchise of all time, an achievement reached way back at the fifth film's release, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Take that, Star Wars!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 is forecast to tip over the $1 billion mark, beating the first film's taking of $912.05 million.
