Eh. I never take the adjustment charts for what they are worth. With all the other royalty schemes involved today, you can't compare a movie like GWTW that had nearly a dozen re-releases and almost no competition with something today which is out in theaters for 3 months, then comes to DVD.

Enjoy Potter for what it is. I am more impressed with the $300m OS which didn't involve China. It could flirt with a billion OS, which would only be the third movie to do so, ever.

Around-the-World Brief: 'Potter' Obliterates Foreign Record

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2outpaced even the most generous prognostications this weekend, setting a new weekend record with an incredible estimated $307 million at the foreign box office. That's 18 percent up on the previous record-holder, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and 30 percent up onHalf-Blood Prince's series record. Add in its stunning domestic take and Deathly Hallows Part 2 also eclipsedHalf-Blood Prince to set the worldwide opening weekend record with an astronomical $475.6 million. 

Not surprisingly, Potter's top territory was its native United Kingdom. It earned $36.6 million, which represented the biggest three-day weekend ever. It also obliterated the previous opening weekend record in Australia, where it debuted to $26.7 million. While it didn't set any weekend records in its other major territories, it still raked in boatloads of cash in Germany ($25.7 million), France ($23.9 million), Japan ($21.5 million), Russia ($19.5 million), Mexico ($15.3 million), Italy ($15.1 million), South Korea ($11 million), Brazil ($11 million) and Spain ($8.3 million). On average, the opening weekend 3D share was 61 percent, which was lower than Transformers: Dark of the Moon (70 percent) and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (66 percent). Foreign IMAX theaters accounted for $8 million, or 2.6 percent ofPotter's weekend.

"Harry Potter is truly a cultural phenomenon the world over," said Veronika Kwan-Rubinek, Warner Bros. president of international distribution, in a press release. "Whether in German, French, Japanese, Russian, or any language, international audiences have embraced the Harry Potter films over the years, with the powerful finale punctuating just how special the property is. We congratulate everyone associated with the films on this monumental achievement."

With $475 million worldwide already, Potter is poised to cross the half-billion dollar point sometime tomorrow, which is its sixth day in theaters. That slays the previous speed record established by Dark of the Moon just two weeks ago. Deathly Hallows Part 2 is also well-positioned to become the highest-grossing Harry Potter movie ever on a foreign and worldwide basis, and will almost certainly become the third movie this summer to reach $1 billion worldwide. 

TAKE THAT BATMAN!!

Hmm, Rises will slay that

Plus, the reason it sold so much was because of Rises

i went to see harry potter and the demand was that big every screen was showing harry potter and they were all sold out, i ordered my ticket thank fuck. This is cineworld in wolverhampton england. it was crazy

Rises is just a mere transition. Avatar 2 will shatter them all.

Avatar was just an average movie that did what it did because it was in 3D,it won't be the same case with A2.If anything,Avatar 2 should do some decent numbers because of Avatar's fanbase.

It likely won't overall, as HP will beat it outside the US.

By how much?$100M?$150M?Not enough to beat it overall.

Most of the HP movies have outgrossed TDK with almost 200 mlm. each outside of the US. According to Box Office Mojo here's how much The Dark Knight and the Harry Potter films have grossed outside the US:

The Dark Knight $468.6 mln.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone $657 mln.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets $616.7 mln.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban $546.1 mln.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire $605.9 mln.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix $646.2 mln.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince $632 mln.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 $660 mln.

Considering the popularity of the franchise, the fact that it's the last part, the amazing reviews, and the fact that it's in 3D, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 will easily become the most successful movie in the franchise, and will probably gross between $800 mln. and $1bln. outside the US (plus, the 3D especially will probably help it reach $400 mln. in the US).It's total world wide gross will end up being between $1.2-1.4 bln.

As for The Dark Knight Rises, it will not outgross HP. First of all, it's not in 3D. Second of all, it won't have the benefit of one of it's stars dying to draw attention to it (hoepfully, I'm sure we don't want anyone dying, do we?). Outside of the US it will probably do similar to what TDK did (either slightly less, or slightly more), which would put it $300 mln. behind HP if my predictions for that movie turn out to be accurate. In order for TDKR to make up for the difference it would need to not only outgross TDK in the US, but gross almost as much as Avatar did in the US, which is a feat unlikely to be pulled off, especially if you don't have 3D (and even then it may not be enough if HP reaches $1 bln. overseas).
