I didn't realize it was also in 3D. I'll say this film grosses $1.3 billion (worldwide) at least.

Let's have it...

It's getting a lot of good reviews, I'm going later tonight.

Sadly, I didn't start reading the books, or watching the movies until I was 30. (A gf was a huge fan,so I started reading them to see what the fuss was about)

Seeing that most weekend shows are already sold out.

I see it getting close to Dark Knight numbers. More than 200M..

Total world-wide 1B easy..

I would be shocked if it didn't reach $1B. I'm gonna go with $1.5B which would put it solidly at 3rd all time.

That would be crazy for the eight film in a franchise.

Its going to absolutely rape the records, aside from maybe Avatar. $43 mil midnight showings alone. Doesn't even include foreign or the rest of today's gross. For perspective, Twilight Eclipse only grossed 30 mil in midnight showings:

Harry Potter Inc: Warner Bros' $21B
FRIDAY 8:30 AM, 4TH UPDATE: Warner Bros said today that Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 grossed $43.5M last night from 3,800 North American locations helped by higher 3D ticket prices, shattering the previous midnight screenings record of $30M set by Twilight Saga: Eclipse which was only a 2D movie. IMAX set another record midnight of $2M for the 3D franchise finale helpe. The franchise finale also scored 97% positive on Rotten Tomatoes. "Records will fly out the window this weekend," a studio exec is predicting. "All 3D theaters sold out to excellent reactions." The global cume is now $$105.1M and counting...

You ain't just whistling Dixie. I can see a lot of repeat viewings of this one (since it is the last). I think worldwide you could be looking at the first $2 billion movie.

Oh, and whoever said it was/is correct, those kids are soooooooooooooooo fricking rich.
