Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince opened this morning in 3,003 theaters at 12:01 AM. Looking at ticket sales yesterday being sold out at 12:25 AM, I don't find it shocking that it would open with such strong numbers. However, I was shocked to hear the Half Blood Prince beat out The Dark Knight for the top reigning midnight opener of all time. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince's midnight showing racked in 22.2 million dollars, while The Dark Knight pulled in 18 million. By the way, I'm still scratching my head as to how the Megan Fox-fest of Transformers 2 brought in 16 million. But I digress. This new Harry Potter flick better be good to knock out The Dark Knight!
