Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows–Part 2 has already collected $25 million domestically from advance ticket sales, according to Warner Bros. (
Variety first reported the news.) The majority of the sales have reportedly been for midnight screenings, giving
Deathly Hallows a legitimate shot at beating the $30 million midnight record set last year by
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The final
Harry Potter film will also be aiming its wand at some other box-office milestones, such as the largest opening day (currently
The Twilight Saga: New Moon with $72.7 million) and the biggest opening weekend (
The Dark Knight with $158.4 million).
Deathly Hallows opens early Friday morning with midnight showings. The 3-D movie also debuts this week in every major foreign market except China (where it premieres Aug. 4), meaning the worldwide-opening record of $394 million (set by
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) could also be in danger. Check back with EW.com throughout the weekend for more box-office updates.
