Harry Potter casts his final spell over the US box office

*Harry Potter went out with a bang this weekend – the boy
wizard’s last ever movie outing smashed box office records as
the film rolled out worldwide.*

Stateside, _Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2_ earned a
staggering $168m in its first weekend.

With that much cash being thrown at it, the final _Harry Potter_ film
even managed to top _The Dark Knight_’s opening weekend record
of $158m, creating a new record for the highest ever US opening
weekend. Yes, ever.

Internationally, _Deathly Hallows Part 2_ took a further $75m, meaning
its total global earnings are actually a Gringotts-busting $250m.

“What an incredible beginning for the movie that ends it
all,” says Warner domestic distribution president Dan Fellman.

“Everyone at Warner Bros joins me in congratulating the many
people behind the _Harry Potter_ films. We know this is just the start
of what promises to be an astounding weekend and a magical
summer.”

This is how the rest of the US box office looked…
