That’s nearly $20 million more than the previous record-holder, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” which took in $72.7 million in its first day two years ago.
The finale of the “Harry Potter” saga also set a record for midnight screenings with $43.5 million. That topped “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” which pulled in about $30 million in its first midnight shows last year.
Box-office tracker Hollywood.com projected Saturday that “Deathly Hallows: Part 2″ also could break the opening-weekend record of $158.4 million domestically held by “The Dark Knight.”
