Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has broken the record for the most money made worldwide in five days!

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince dominated the worldwide box office its first five days, opening to an estimated $159.7 million in North American–the sixth-biggest domestic opening ever–and $237 million from 54 international markets, a new record. The worldwide take of $396.7 million after five days is also a record, surpassing the $381.7 million made by Spider-Man 3 in 2007 its first five days. The sixth installment of Warner Bros.’ “Harry Potter” franchise cost about $235 million to make. Domestically it opened bigger than its predecessor Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which collected $139.7 million its first five days. “Half-Blood Prince” had the second-biggest start for a movie premiering on a Wednesday, trailing the $200 million five-day opening of last month’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The Dark Knight holds the five-day domestic record with $203.8 million. For the three-day weekend, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince earned $79.5 million in North America, averaging an impressive $18,376 from 4,325 theaters.

That’s just it’s opening weekend, I expect the film will continue in its success. If any of the Potter movies deserve success at the level it’s reaching this is the one.
