Harry Potter
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince made many people happy yesterday, especially Warner Brothers. The blockbuster film made a whopping $58.4 million in its opening day, including its record-breaking $22 million from midnight shows alone. That makes it the second-best Wednesday ever. The best Wednesday ever? That belongs to those giant robots from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
The biggest one-day take for a film still belongs to The Dark Knight, with $67.2 million.
The last Potter film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, made $44 million on its first day (also a Wednesday) so this movie is sure to pass that in box office receipts. We’ll see if it can break any weekend records set by Transformers only last month.
