Wizard Gold Continues to Pour In

The sixth installment of the Harry Potter series is setting records:
The latest "Harry Potter" movie cast a $104 million spell over worldwide box offices during its first day in theaters, setting a new record for the boy wizard, distributor Warner Bros Pictures said on Thursday.

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the sixth in the film series based on the popular books by J.K. Rowling, grossed $58.18 million in North America and $45.85 million overseas on Wednesday, the Time Warner Inc-owned studio said.

The U.S.-Canadian tally, which includes a record $22.2 million from midnight showings, marks the second-biggest Wednesday opening domestically.

I'm a big fan of the series, having read all of the books and seen all of the movies. I'm going at 3:10 this afternoon to see the new one. I'll write a review later, but from what I've seen from others, it should be pretty well done.
