I'm liking for how good a sport you've been. It's orgasmic for all of us BO fans when any history happens let alone this magnitude. Deserves respect. Thanks man. Look, Potter's midnight and opening day was a very special moment to millions of people around the world who grew up with the series. I fell in love with Potter when I was 8 and said goodbye to it at 18, a month after graduating high school. So when a series like The Avengers breaks records, I just don't like it because it needed multiple films and overstuffed characters to break records. A single, linear story beating Potter is a lot more impressive to me. So I'm not upset at all that DH2's record is broken. It's held onto the record for four and a half years which is the longest of any film to hold. Records are meant to be broken, and I'm so glad that it's Star Wars and not anything else that beat Potter's record. They are the two biggest franchises in the world with the most loyal fanbases, so it's oddly fitting that Potter's record is beaten by Star Wars. I wanted DH2's record to not be beaten by a mere few millions, but by a lot. And Star Wars is decimating it. Besides...Potter holding onto the midnight and opening day records over four years is a feat in itself. There is no reason for me to be upset at all. I'm happy for TFA. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of kids usually do skip the day before break. I remember all we did was watch movies in class and have Christmas parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somebody85 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 People saying this has no female appeal are so wrong too. My sister saw this last night in NYC and thought it was phenomenal and she usually hates big action/sci-fi. Just wait until the word gets out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting a bounce back Monday though after all the crazy numbers are official. It's not just the movie too, it's all the related holiday merchandising & what it does for their theme park attendance ESP with Star Wars land looming.
