Hmm, the UK opening is very good, but not absolutely amazing since it likely includes some previews. I am not even that sure about it pasing £50 million and beating Half-Blood Prince. Might do it, but only by very little.

I don't think they had any previews in the UK. I didn't see any advertised.

Looks like the turnaround in Japan is not gonna happen with the opening like this. Holiday's legs should push it above HP6 though i think/.

Shocking indeed, though Potters were never superbig openers in that region comparatively.

That's not a shocker. Resident Evil opened on Tuesday, and the "weekend" number in fact included all 6 days, not to mention it is a popular franchise in China.

There weren't any previews, and it was the biggest weekend of all-time. The previous one-day record was POA's holiday £5.2m, if Sunday was a mere £0.2m higher, all three days would have beaten this record. I guess it still could with actuals.

So yeah, this was probably one of the most impressive openings.

No previews in the UK. First showing was 9am Friday morning.

UK actual: £18,319,721

Fri: £5.9m
Sat: £6.6m
Sun: £5.8m

Far out, that's pretty awesome. All 3 days breaking the record and that tiny Sunday drop (assuming Saturday number stayed the same).

Okay, in that case (no previews) that is of course terrific. Still won't get to 60 million, but 50 million should be a done deal.

HP7-1 had second biggest opening for a HP franchise in Poland. It had 395 287 admissions over the weekend and made 7 034 000 PLN or $ 2 468 000.

Wow amazing number in U.K, it is guaranteed that the records will be broken again in July for sure

Thanks for the clarifiaction

AUSTRALIA (AUD$) - Opening Weekend

HP7-I continues the streak of each successive Potter flick grossing more than the last. Potter now holds 3 positions inside the Top 10 and all but the first movie inside the Top 20. HP7-I debut knocks ROTK out of the Top 10 and Spiderman out of the Top 20.

This landed smack bang where i thought it would be after the opening day. At this rate, we can be almost assured that the final installment (with 3D) will easily claim the #1 opening weekend title next year.

Why do you only have the Aussie one in local currency anyway?

"On Monday, Warner claimed Deathly Hallows was the biggest Harry Potter of all time. "Comparing apples to apples, the same set of territories, for the industry defined weekend for each market, Deathly Hallows far out-grossed Half Blood Prince excluding any sneaks," said the company"

HP5 & 6 5-Day? I would be reffering to 3-day.

You mean 4-day.

Yes, Australian openings are normally 4-Day openings, you will get the odd 5-Day opener and very rare 3-Day openings.

HP5//6 were 5-Day openings.

GERMANY - Opening Weekend

After a disasterous year in Germany BO, HP7-I put some much needed heat back into proceedings. Between HP and LOTR, they have a stranglehold on the top 5 largest openings in US$.
