Though 33% of you predicted Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 to gross over $160 million in its opening weekend, your strong support couldn't get the numbers up quite that high (wait till part two hits in July, and then we'll talk). Instead, 25% of you were right on the money in predicting a total number somewhere between $120-140 million, as Deathly Hallows: Part 1 wound up taking in a whopping $125 million, which shattered the franchise record of $102 million set by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire back in 2005. Furthermore, thanks to you, Fandango wound up selling 17% of that box office take, which made us the number one destination for all things Harry Potter (tickets and otherwise) in advance of this monstrous opening. So thanks! That number, assuming it holds up, will give the film the sixth biggest opening weekend of all time, and slot it right behind Iron Man 2, which opened with $128 million.
