There
was definitely talk about the possibility of latest Harry Potter and
the Deathly Hallows might overthrow The Twilight Saga: Eclipse in the
middle of departure or the Twilight Saga New Moon on its opening day but
unfortunately did not happen.
According
to NBC, Potter raised $ 24 million for its opening at midnight,
remaining in third in line for midnight releases high after the release
of Eclipse ($ 30 million) and New Moon ($ 26.3 million).
In addition, Box Office Mojo shows that the New Moon still holds the
record for opening day ($ 72.7 million), despite the impressive $ 61
million he raised Potter on Friday.
It is little more than a year after New Moon came to the cinemas and
cemented his place in the history of modern cinema. Harry Potter is one
of several major films that have been published since then (Avatar,
Alice in Wonderland, etc.), so it's definitely not a fluke.
Eclipse,
setting the new record version number midnight, overthrew one of their
own, New Moon, which had broken above the previous record set by The
Dark Knight. Should be interesting to see if a movie will be able to
cope with these giant achievements by these two films in the future.
