'Harry Potter' Makes $900 Million in Record Time Worldwide

   
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 has past the $900 million worldwide mark on Wednesday, and it's only been 15 days since release day. It's the fastest movie ever to reach that milestone, breaking Avatar's 18-day record. 

On Wednesday, Deathly Hallows Part 2 made $24.7 million worldwide ($5.2 million from domestic and $19.5 million from foreign), lifting its total to $906.8 million. It also reached 19th place on the all-time chart, jumping past Goblet of Fire's $896.9 million final haul. 

The first Harry Potter film, Sorcerer's Stone still ranks as the top-grossing film with $974.8 million, while only Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Transformers: Dark of the Moon was slightly higher for 2011 with $1.03 billion and $926.1 million. Deathly Hallows Part 2 will break the $1 billion club by early next week.
