Croatia is a small market, but this article here, claims HP7.1 had the best opening weekend in 2010. and third best opening ever (or at least since 2003. when apparently tracking started). 4-day opening puts it at 39 800 tickets sold or 1.110.999,54 kn (based on today's currency value that would equal to $203.588,05).

This is the first time I've ever seen a report on a weekend number here. I have no idea where BOM gets the charts for Croatia because there are no official public reports of any kind (not even approximations) of box office here. It will be interesting to see will the BOM number match this one.

I wonder why they didn't open the movie in France last week like the majority of the world....weird.

Hmm..this is surprising specially since it has been doing so well everywhere else. Is it because of the release date, some local movies having effect on its run , or maybe lower TC ?

Tracking below HP6 which at this point has alreday made $23.2m (though had 2 extra days of play), it's also behind HP5 at $20.4m. But above all other Potter releases.

Wow...what happened?

Indeed, lowest of the franchise to date.

One week later hurt it you think? Not sure why, but it's very possible.

I gotta a feeling it will rebound over the weekend, should have an ok opening in the end.

JAPAN - Opening Weekend

Worrying signs here, HP grosses in Japan have gotten lower and lower while the movies have become more frontloaded.

This opening is not even at the same levels at HP6. Still it's the 2nd largest opening of 2010 behind (who would've thought) Resident Evil 4 with previews.

389-205=184 with weekdays...is that good?

HP6 had 404 mln with extra 2weeks in South Korea, one week in France and summer weekdays.

I think weekend grosses are yet to be included in that figure. Generally weekend OS figures comes out by Monday.
For new movies and specially the ones grossing very high OS, BOM updates the numbers every day or two.
