‘Harry Potter’ Sets Midnight Box Office Record
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has hauled an impressive $22.2M from 3,003 midnight performances to become the biggest earning midnight box office opener of all time.
The previous record was held by The Dark Knight with $18M.
The opening took place across 3,003 screens which will expand to 4,275 for it first full day of release. By Friday it will be screening in 4,350 theaters.
“We’re ecstatic,” Warners domestic distribution president Dan Fellman said. “We owe a big thanks to the Harry Potter fans, who are supporting us so well even after the picture was moved back.”
I’d say we can expect to hear more record breaking news in the coming weeks.

I loved the movie!! It was well made, very funny and entertaining. We can see the lightness of Hogwarts before the big finale in the next couple of years.
The franchise has grown up and the result of HBP is amazingly good…
