'Transformers' & 'Potter' Hit Milestones

'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' joined 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' and 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2' in the $1 billion worldwide club. This marked the first time in history that three movies from the same year, much less the same season, all reached that mark.


'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2' also hit a major worldwide milestone: with $1,038 billion it passed 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' $1,033 billion to become the highest-grossing movie of 2011.


 It now ranks sixth on the all-time chart, and it looks guaranteed to pass 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King's' $1.119 billion by the end of the weekend to move up to third place.


It's foreign-only total rose to $713.2 million, making it the fifth movie ever to earn over $700 million overseas.
