I enjoyed the film, but the Harry Potter films spanned an entire decade (2001-2011). The finale was the biggest movie event of 2011. While it will do well, I don't think Breaking Dawn Pt. 2 will beat Potter's record.

It won't. The Twilight fans who made this rivalry clearly didn't think it through.

The Highest Grossing Twilight movie grossed almost 90 Million less than the Lowest Grossing Potter movie. Although the movies are comparable Domestically, when International numbers come into play Potter is in a league of its own.

The movie was actually really good. I was expecting a pot full of steamy ****

Pretty impressive for a franchise that is critically panned.

Deathly Hallows cost $250M. Breaking Dawn $110M.

Deathly Hallows grossed $2B+ combined. Breaking Dawn will barely reach the billion mark with both parts combined.

Most major blockbusters are critic-proof. As long as the fanbase is fine with the product, that's all that really matters to commercial success.

I know but if people are constantly comparing their grosses they should also acknowledge their budgets.

Speaking of which, Paranormal 3 has topped $200M WW on a $5M production budget.

Happy Feet only grossed $22,025,000 over the weekend.

The Muppets is getting great reviews. I wonder if kids still think muppets are cool.

All part 1 and part 2 shared that budget, but Breaking Dawn $110M is only for part 1.

Why are we comparing Harry Potter to Twilight? This is simply absurd. Harry Potter has solidified itself as an iconic franchise of this generation. Society will be sure to uphold the legacy that J.K. Rowling created, a legacy that has impacted our lives forever.

On the off-chance BD DOES beat DH's record, it will be like Katy breaking MJs, if Katy was a mentally disturbed necrophiliac furry who gravitates towards pedophiles. At the end of the day, all but the most hopeless patients of twilexia will soon view as an embarrassing phrase they underwent as a sexually frustrated teenage girl, whereas Harry Potter has made a huge and lasting mar on pop culture, and people will look back on it fondly as they read their original copies to avidly-listening grandchildren in 2061.

I didn't realize "Like Crazy" was top 20. It's good, and Felicity Jones looks like such a star. She deserves recognition. The movie isn't the typical romantic movie, it's more realistic, and at the same time hopeful.

I think we should ought to compare DH pt. 1 than DH pt. 2 to BD pt. 1. It would be totally unfair for a movie to be compared with a gargantuan hype with a 3D showing and added summer effect.

Best Movie so far

LOVE IT

I compared DH Pt. 1 to BD Pt.1 and it still did better in its first week.
