Harry Potter shuns the Global Financial Crisis

While the lights of Europe and most of the Western World grow dim, a shining light entitled Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 spreads all over the cinema world spreading its mission where hope springs eternal.
To quote from the Christan Post:The popularity of the final installment in the Harry Potter stories has exceeded all expectations, with the movie taking more in its first day than the previous four Potter films did in their entire opening weekends.

Here in Australia, as in the majority of countries, new records were broken. $6 million on the first day, with the USA taking in $92.1 million on the first day, and now awaiting the final weekend box office figures to see if the Dark Knight's current record of $158.4 millions can be finally broken.

Britain has broken all records, far eclipsing the previous opening night box office record held by its Harry Potter predecessor by over 60%. In the USA, it has been forcast to break the $180 million mark, far exceed the $158 million current record held by Dark Knight.

The records exceed all expectations (even breaking the midnight takings of Twilight which stand at $43 million), shunning any notion of a movie hungry audience downturn as a result of the Global Financial Crisis.

Long live Harry Potter and the citizens of Hogwarts.
