Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has made history as the ninth movie to make over $1 billion!

Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 has become part of the elite billion dollar club, while Paramount’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon should become a member within days.

Before this summer, only seven movies in history had grossed $1 billion or more at the domestic box office.

There’s now nine, between Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Deathly Hallows 2, the first film in the franchise to reach the milestone. Dark of the Moon will make it ten.

Through Sunday, Deathly Hallows has earned $1.01 billion, including a domestic total of $318.5 million and international cume of $690 million. The pic tied the record for the fastest climb to $1 billion, accomplishing the task in only 17 days.

It only makes sense that this movie would be the highest grossing of all of them, it’s a great film! I actually want to go see it again before it leaves theaters, it’s that good. I’m sure it’ll keep raking in the cash for a while. It’s hard to believe that this series is finally over.
