^^Just checked and The Dark Knight still holds the record, but still Harry Potter came close.

It dropped heaps on thursday and only made 22 million in the US/Canada but that was to be expected. Its total is now $126,036,627 which doesn't include international numbers, which as everyone knows is where the potter franchise makes most of its money. So expect the international numbers to outpace American numbers from here on out.

It looks to be very front loaded.

All potters are very front loaded, especially in the US.

Some more than others. The Dark Knight was a rarity in that it had a huge opening weekend, and still had tremendous legs.

Not many films have legs like slumdog thats for sure.

Sure, there are movies with more legs. TDK had a rare combination of a huge opening, as well as extended legs. Also, the summer season is much more competitive than the January to April time frame. There were most likely much lower grosses for Slumdog Millionaire to compete with than TDK had against it, and TDK had a much higher gross without question.

Do you think the second Hallows film will break a billion?

Oh, and it is about to become the highest grossing film series of all time. In 6 films, it will have surpassed James Bonds's 22.

The legs have been broken, it seems. It only pulled in 22 million yesterday.
