“Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince” Biggest Midnight Opening Of All-Time


The world is still enchanted by the magical fantasyland of Harry Potter. After a two-year break, the boy wizard and his pals stormed the box office Tuesday night. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince raked in the biggest midnight gross of all time, earning $22.2 million at the box office, according to early estimate from Warner Bros.

The film — the sixth in the beloved franchise — beat out previous record holders, The Dark Knight and Star Wars: Episode III, which earned midnight grosses of $18 and $17 million, respectively.

Half-Blood Prince raked in $10 million more from midnight screenings than the last Harry Potter feature, The Order of the Phoenix, which opened in the summer of 2007.
