The Wednesday opening of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has set a new record at the box office. The fifth Potter installment took in $44 million, making it the most successful movie for a Wednesday debut. It surpassed Spiderman 2, which had made $40.2 million on its opening day. Paul Dergarabedian, the president of Media By Numbers, calls the record "pretty incredible."
"This is one of those rare franchises that is as relevant today as it was when the franchise first started. For a fifth installment to be breaking records is pretty incredible."
He also predicts the movie to quickly rise to the $100 million mark over the weekend.
