Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is due to become the first entry in the long-running franchise to pass the $1 billion (£609 million) mark.
The final Harry Potter film has currently grossed a domestic total of $296 million (£180 million) and an international total of $630 million (£383 million), bringing the JK Rowling adaptation up to a global total of $926 million (£564 million) since its release two weeks ago.
The film is on track to surpass the $1 billion milestone this weekend to become the highest-earning instalment in the franchise, surpassing the $974.8 million (£593.7 million) taken by Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 2001.
Only nine films have grossed over $1 billion at the box office, including The Dark Knight, Alice in Wonderland and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
James Cameron’s sci-fi epic Avatar stands as the only film to have grossed more than $2 billion globally.
Upon its release, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 smashed box office records, scoring the highest domestic opening weekend ever by taking $168.5 million (£102.6 million) domestically and $476 million (£289 million) internationally.
