Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 now has the honor of having the highest domestic box-office opening of all time, as its $168.6 million figure bests previous record holder The Dark Knight, which reached $158.4 million in 2008. With such an astounding debut, the film could draw crowds away from the July 22nd opening of Captain America: The First Avenger as viewers may satiate themselves with a second helping of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2. Here’s the top 10:
1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 - $168.6 million
2. Transformers Dark of the Moon - Domestically, the picture has made $302.8 million. Can Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 surpass that mark? This weekend, Transformers made $21.3 million
3. Horrible Bosses - In just two weeks of release, the Jennifer Aniston/Jason Bateman comedy has pulled in $60 million domestically. $17.6 million over this weekend.
4. Zookeeper - $12.3 million
5. Cars 2 - $8.4 million
6. Winnie the Pooh - Great reviews did not save this film from a sub-par debut, as the animated film made just $8 million.
7. Bad Teacher - $5.2 million
8. Larry Crowne - With just a $31.6 million domestic box-office haul in its release, the Tom Hanks directed feature (headlined by Hanks and Julia Roberts) was one of this summer’s biggest disappointments. Over the weekend, it collected just $2.6 million
9. Super 8 - Super 8 was a solid summer hit, as it earned $122.2 million stateside. Over the weekend, the film came in #9 with $1.9 million.
