User blog:Ceauntay/Heroes: The New Heroes nabs third best single day gross to $82.2 million

Heroes: The New Heroes looks that it was going to break the $150 million mark, now it looks that it will break that mark even higher than unexpected as it is shattering opening day records.

The second installment grossed a magical $82.2 million in its first day of release, that was the third best single day gross ever. The record for the best was still being hold by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 ($91.1 million) and Jane Hoop Elemenary: The Final Rush - Part 2 ($91 million).

With $82.2 million, it could crack in at least $165 million in its opening weekend, and might beat The Dark Knight Rises ($160.9 million) as the second best opening weekend of the year since The Avengers ($207.4 million). It will also be a new opening weekend record for a Thanksgiving release.

Come back tomorrow afternoon to see the results.
