As if it should come as any surprise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 posted the highest opening day since Twilight: Eclipse decided to be a little bitch about it. No, it is not as high as the inexplicable tween girl phenomenon, but it's still the best opening the series has seen to date. The film took in $24 million from midnight showings, for which I was a partaker in. The rest of the day pulled in $37 million for a grand total opening day of $61 million. It's just $2 million above the opening day take of Half-Blood Prince, and it was able to manage the feat without the benefit of 3D prices. Had the film been released in 3D, it would've definitely surpassed the sparkly vampire flick. In the mean time, Harry Potter can take comfort in posting more than respectable numbers and fantastic reviews, especially seeing as it's only half a film.
