Friday Box Office: Accio Moolah! Harry Potter Has $65 Million Night

Well, holy cow. After pulling in $24 million at midnight, the penultimate Potter flick increased its take to a truly magical $65 million in its first day in release. I guarantee you that Warner Bros. execs are alternately high-fiving themselves over having another $65 million night next summer with Part 2, and then secretly calculating how much more they would have made if this one was in 3D. Oh, and some Russell Crowe prison movie self-destructed at number 5. Your Friday box office is here.
