Emma Watson: 'Harry Potter' Breaks Opening Day Record!

Emma Watson leaves her hotel as she heads to a movie theater to catch a showing of her new movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 on Friday (July 15) in New York City.

The 21-year-old actress went shopping in Soho earlier in the week and made a stop at the Chanel store.

Harry Potter is going to be breaking a bunch of records this weekend! The film grossed $43.5 million at midnight screenings, shattering the $30 million record set by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

The film is also expected to make $95 million in its opening day alone, breaking a record of $72 million set by The Twilight Saga: New Moon, according to Deadline.

FYI: Emma is wearing the Wilfred for Aritzia Chevalier Blazer.

Good, Harry Potter is actually deserving of its achievements, unlike Twilight.

95 mil on opening day, I’d say it’s a lock that DH part 2 breaks the Dark Knight’s record for the highest grossing opening weekend ever.

@kbrasena:

HP doesn’t need a showmance between its actors to keep the fans. But HP fans aren’t horny teens and middle aged housewives who live their fantasies through fictional story.

@Ann:

Why?
All the scenes people like you are interested in are already leaked. I see Summit is selling their film as soft core porn. It makes your fanfiction become real at least on screen.

I watched the movie last night and I cried my heart out! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, everything about it was fantastic, magical… I can’t even…. It was great to see Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith having more screen time and opportunity to show THE ACTORS they are!

She looks so cute here and I LOVE that she’s going to see HP again at the theaters. I would flip out if I turned around in my seat and saw her sitting there.

@Cyn:

They showed that twilight trailer in my theater at midnight and the audience laughed, because it was so ridiculous.

I’m pretty sure you crazy twi-hards will go in bucketloads to see it at midnight, but considering Potter has the help of 3D and also more fans, I wouldn’t bet it breaking the record. If anything is going to break it again, it will be The Dark Knight Rises or maybe The Hobbit Part 1.
