It hasn’t even been 24 hours and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is already breaking records!
The latest installment of the Harry Potter series has won the title of “Best Midnight Gross” of all time!!!!
The Half-Blood Prince earned a massive $20 million in ticket sales at its 12:01 a.m. opening Tuesday night, topping the midnight sales of both The Dark Night ($18 mil) and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith ($17 mil).
Even the midnight release of 2007’s Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix can’t hold a candle to last night’s numbers – the last film in the HP series only grossed $12 million from 12 a.m. sales!
Who knows how high the figures will climb by the weekend’s close!
