Harry Makes History, Topples Dark Knight

The highly anticipated, Happy Potter: The Deadly Hallows - Part 2, has broken the record for the biggest domestic box-office opening, which was previously held by The Dark Knight.

Harry raked in an unprecedented $168.6 million at the box office in just three days, making it the highest-grossing movie opening of all time at the domestic box office.

The title was previous held by The Dark Knight, which opened to $158 million back in 2008. According to Box Office Mojo, one out of every four movie tickets sold this weekend was to Potter. Final estimates are due Monday.
