Warner Bros.’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 grossed a massive $475.6 million in its worldwide debut, by far the best showing of all time. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was the previous crown holder at $394 million. Deathly Hallows 2’s opening overseas clocked in at $307 million, while it earned $168.8 million in North America.
I'm kinda against at how the OP used the word shattered with how HP7 pt 2 broke TDK's record as the latter is still ahead of ticket sales but none can deny the power of Harry Potter in its dominance over the international markets.

Yeah. TDK was much bigger than any HP film in the US, but it doesn't really compare internationally.

Eh, dont come after it like that. If you look at metrics like ticket sales, all the records are nonsense.
Yowza. So it breaks DH1's worldwide opening record ($394m) and POTC4's overseas opening record ($260m).
To me, this is the more amazing record. As someone else mentioned, it's not even that it beat its own record or POTC4's overseas record. It's that the film SHATTERED both records.
