The Hollywood Reporter reveal that
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 will pass the $1 billion mark this Saturday, making it the first in the franchise to achieve that. Previously, it was
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone overseas) which held the record as the highest grossing movie in the franchise at $974.8 million.
As of right now, the movie has grossed $296 Million domestically in the US, and $630 million internationally. With another successful weekend expected (despite facing off against
Captain America: The First Avenger,
The Smurfs and
Cowboys & Aliens) it should have no problem hitting the $1 Billion mark.
The site also report that,
Deathly Hallows Part 2 becomes the 9th movie in history to gross north of $1 billion worldwide, a club that includes Warners’ The Dark Knight ($1 billion), Disney’s Alice in Wonderland ($1.02 billion) and Disney’s 2011 summer tentpole Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides ($1.03 billion).
