With its 6th installment, the Harry Potter franchise is projected to surpass the all-time top-grosser film franchise, James Bond, at the box office.
Over the course of 5 films, Potter has grossed $4.48 billion while Bond holds the record at $5 billion over 22 movies – starting with 1962’s Dr No.
With several midnight screenings already sold out in advance, the boy wizard is expected to overtake Bond by the end of the month.
