From The Hollywood Reporter:
Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 cast a powerful spell at the midnight box office, grossing a massive $43.5 million, the best showing of all time.
The previous crown holder was The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which earned $30 million in midnight shows.
Deathly Hallows has already grossed north of $100 million at the worldwide box office, and the weekend is yet to come. The pic began rolling out internationally on Wednesday, earning $43.6 million from 26 countries. Numbers for Thursday weren’t immediately available.

A lot of that is 3D prices. I’m sure Breaking Dawn will do great it doesn’t need 3D prices to get anywhere but I’m glad Potter did very well ! Great movie but kind of an disappointment at the end.

I can’t wait to see this with my daughter today! I am so happy there are book and movie franchises like Harry Potter and Twilight that my daughter and I can bond over and share together! They have both given us so much enjoyment.
