Harry Potter Makes Australian Cinema History

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 made cinema history yesterday when it opened on the widest number of Australian screens of all time. 

The movie marks the last instalment in the most successful film franchise ever. The epic finale opened on 748 screens –  138 more than Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.

Joel Pearlman, Roadshow Films Managing Director, “The final instalment of the much loved Harry Potter series has made cinematic history by releasing on 748 screens. This is incredibly indicative of the overwhelming demand from audiences and cinemas alike for the final Harry Potter film.”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is the first Harry Potter film to be released in both 3D and 2D.
