Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Advances to Number 3 Highest Grossing Film Worldwide


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the magic-wielding juggernaut of a film, just keeps on going, breaking records worldwide as it closes the immensely successful film franchise. About a week ago, we brought you news that this eighth film and last chapter of the Harry Potter film franchise had crossed the $1 billion mark in cumulative global ticket sales. To date, the film has earned a worldwide tally of $1.14 billion, $343.1 million domestically and $792.4 million internationally.

According to THR, Warner Bros’ Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has moved into the number three spot as the third highest grossing film in the worldwide box office, bumping down The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King that grossed $1.12 billion worldwide in 2003.

Over the weekend, Deathly Hallows: Part 2 debuted in China with $26.5 million, still atop the foreign box office for the fourth straight weekend in a row.

James Cameron’s Avatar with $2.8 billion and Titanic with $1.8 billion sit in the number one and two spots respectively. Will Harry be able to overtake the Cameron-creations? Heck, I’d go see Harry a couple more times if it means toppling a Cameron record!
