Harry Potter grossed $18 million Monday in the US - 80% ahead of HBP and 100% ahead of DH1. Total gross is now ~$187m.

For comparison,TDK grossed $24.5M on it's first Monday

....You don't think I know that?

TDK had a phenomenal run with a sub-50% drop its 2nd weekend. Its unlikely we're going to see a movie with that kind of opening + hold in a long time. However, for a movie like Harry Potter to get a $18 million Monday is nothing short of great. All I'm arguing with this number is that Deathly Hallows 2 has a good shot at $400m. Its not like its getting anywhere near TDK which is a record ($24.5m on 1st non-holiday Monday) that is unlikely to be broken for years.

FWIW, I was a big fan of box office tracking well before services like VGC were out. I remember all the threads on BOM and other services back when Matrix Reloaded came out. I remember most every epic box office thread of the past decade.

400M isn't locked yet.Monday numbers dont show a movie's legs.We'll see what happens this weekend.If it's sub-50M,any chance for 400M happening is dead.
