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.

‘Transformers 2′ Beats ‘Titanic’ Record in China

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen managed to beat Titanic’s record in China’s box office!

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” has broken China’s box office record with receipts of 400 million yuan ($58.5 million), sinking the $52.7 million record held by “Titanic” since 1998.

China Film spokesman Weng Li said the Michael Bay movie racked up $44 million in the first 12 days after its release on June 24. The first installment of the franchise made $37 million in China in 2007.

Pic was given a wide release on thousands of screens in the absence of any other big pics. China had about 4,100 screens by the end of 2008 and the numbers are growing fast as orgs invest in theaters to feed growing demand.

It’s more amazing to me how the biggest record for all of China is only $58.5 million. It puts things into perspective a little more in terms of how much money Americans regularly spend on entertainment.
