'Harry Potter' Strong at Friday Box Office!


After posting the third biggest midnight gross of $24 million, Warner Bros. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 went on to earn a magical $61,150,000 in its first full day of release in 4,125 theatres.  This is the fifth biggest single-day gross in box office history.

With the biggest weekend debut of any 'Potter' movie now assured (2005's Goblet of Fire set previous high of $102.3M), the first part of the final chapter in the decade long franchise is already a certified box office hit.  With a single-day gross that many films would be hard-pressed to earn in a single weekend, 'Harry Potter' continues to weave his spell over an adoring fan base.
