Deathly Hallows 2 crosses $800m in OS markets.

Domestic Total : $348,563,937 (by 10th August)
Overseas Total : $801,500,000 (this is by Monday itself )

Worldwide Total : $1,150.1

This would mean $9m over Monday in OS, so with that average it should be at $830m by Thursday, should do really well this weekend as well, should easily cross $850m by Sunday.

Settling for third, Harry Potter still tacked on an estimated $30 million from 61 territories to bring its foreign total to a phenomenal $857.8 million. While its second weekend figures from China aren't currently available, it did jump nine percent to $5.2 million in Japan thanks to the Obon holidays. On Sunday, Potter's worldwide total passed $1.2 billion.

So does the $30m include or exclude China ?

I am seeing this at $920m-$925m OS total, it should be dropping big by schools re-opening and theater loss now.

2001: Harry Potter 1: PS
* Fought a tough battle with FOTR in 2001 for the yearly crown. HP1 winning 12.556.748 vs. 11.833.420 admissions. It was a massive year in BO which also saw another 10m+ grosser in the form of Der Shuh Des Manitu 11.721.499 admissions. To this day, still the only Harry Potter release to gross more than 10m admissions.
* HP1 still holds the opening weekend record (over the regular 4-Day frame) at a lofty 2.590.464 admissions. No other movie has grossed more than 2.5m over the regular opening frame. It held the #1 spot for 4 straight weeks until FOTR.
* HP1 was the first movie since Titanic to cross 10m admissions in Germany and is to this day the 2nd largest movie of all-time in Germany (modern era).

2002: Harry Potter 2: COS
* Lost the year to TTT (9.694.259 vs. 10.692.798 adms.) and falling below 10m admissions. It was a very competitive year with 6 movies grossing more than 5m admissions. The Top 6 dominated by TTT, HP2, Ice Age 1, Star Wars 2, Spiderman and Men In Black 2 (James Bond Die Another Day just missing out).
* Only Avatar has managed to beat this total gross in recent years (11.260.273 adms.).
* HP2 currently sits at #10 on the All-Time admissions charts (for movies post 1980s)
* Opening wise, HP2 was just a smidgen behind HP1 (#2 record holder over the 4-Day frame); however, it held the #1 spot for only2 weeks, dethroned by Die Another Day.

2004: Harry Potter 3: POA
* One of the best years for local BO, with the top two spots belonging to two outrageous German comedies, TRaumschiff Surprise (9.165.932) and 7 Zwerge (6.799.699). Harry Potter 3 comes in at #3 for the year with 6.550.028 admissions; though ahead of Shrek 2 - 5.322.170 and Der Untergang 4.624.506. Only one other Potter flick (HP6) has failed to enter the Top 2.
* HP3 also lost the franchise' domination on the opening charts, beaten by TRaumschiff. It was also the first Potter flick to open below 2m admissions over the 4-Day frame.
* It did hold the #1 spot for 4 straight weeks though, tieing with TRaumschiff, 7 Zwerge and Der Untergang, However they were all beaten by Bärenbrüder which held for 5 straight weeks that year.

2005: Harry Potter 4: GOF
* Another drop in admissions for the franchise, though it did regain the #1 Yearly spot with 7.948.353 admissions; above Madagascar, Star Wars 3, Hitch and Narnia. This is one of the weakest years in the past decade.
* HP4 did regain opening mojo, back above 2m admissions and actually the 3rd largest of all-time over the regular frame. It ruled for 3 straight weeks, ended by Narnia.

2007: Harry Potter 5: OOTP
* Quite a competitive year, with HP5 claiming the #1 Yearly crown for the franchise again, 3rd time. When i say competitive, HP5's 7.076.615 was followed closely by Keinorhasen (6.297.816), Rataouille 6.104.073 and Pirates 3 6.079.497.
*Opening wise, Potter lost out to Pirates 3 and just barely defeated Simpsons Movie. In fact, it was Simpsons which ended HP5's reign at the top, just 2 weeks - shortest stay at the top for the franchise.

2009: Harry Potter 6: HBP
* Big year this. While HP6 had an equal franchise low position of #3 Yearly, it was beaten by some giants, Avatar 11.260.273 and Ice Age 3's 8.709.881. Rounding out the top 5 was Wickie Und Die Starken Manner and Angels & Demons
* HP6 ended Ice Age 3's 2 week stay at the top and ruled for 4 straight weeks. It's opening was easily the largest of the year, with the nerest competitor New Moon well down.

2010: Harry Potter 7-1: DH
* Weakest year yet for admissions in Germany, Hp7-1 was #1 for the year but with a franchise low of 5.670.068 admissions. No other releases last year made more than 4m admissions. Only Tangled came close with 3.918.973 (but it made most of that in the New Year). Eclipse, Inception and Alice in Wonderland rounding out the top 5.
* Opening was also low, 2nd lowest of the franchise in fact over the regular frame and the weakest 1st week gross fro the franchise in admissions.

Harry Potter 1: PS - 1.9m adms. // 7.5m adms.

Only two movies have managed more than 1m admissions over the regular opening frame (Pirates 4 and Hangover 2) and HP7-2 will cream them both, in fact, i don't see any movie this year coming any where near this after Kung Fu Panda 2 dissapointed this past week. We'll have to look to the holiday season latter this year for any movie with the power to come anywhere near the aformentioned movies (Titin and Breaking Dawn are the only obvious standouts). Cars, which opens just 2 weeks after Potter will not be a major threat (the original barely registered half of 1m admissions on opening and will likely have a more stretched out run). HP7-2 opens in a pretty neat spot actually, 2 weeks after Transformers 3 with nothing in between worth mentioning. Transformers will probably see a slight 3D uptick from ROTF but i don't see any breakouts there.

This is Potter's year to loose, if this doesn't take the yearly title then the world has really ended. I see a bump back to form seeing as this is the last release, though with admissions totals droping every year don't expect the lofty 9m+ admissions that we saw back in the early days. If this can get past 7m then it'll be a really good run (the last Potter movie to do so was HP5 back in 2007). I'm predicting 7.5m.
