Not sure about that. Back in 2011 , DH2 was outgrossed by Transformers Dark of the Moon and Pirates of the Caribbean even though it was the franchise finale. It only did $60M or so. HP not that popular in China.

If you look at The Avengers that only did $86 million and Dark of the Moon did $165 million compared to Age of Extinction's $320 million. What both of the first two movies have in common with Harry Potter is that they didn't have distributors in China at the time, at least that's what Box Office Mojo says. Maybe $200 million is too much, but I do believe that it would have done much better if it was released in today's climate. 

Age of Extinction had scenes filmed in China.. that was a very big factor for its incredible gross.
