MUMBAI: With the grand success of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, the up-to-date revenue of Warner Bros. Pictures International (WBPI) has crossed the $2 billion mark at the international box office.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, the final adventure in the blockbuster film series, smashed international records to become not only the biggest Harry Potter film, but the highest grossing film of the year and the third-highest international release of all time with an astounding $857 million and counting.

Some months ago, the Studio released Todd Phillips‘ The Hangover Part II that beat its predecessor to gross $327 million internationally and become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. It was followed by Horrible Bosses that has to date grossed over $35 million internationally.

"Even beyond the amazing performance of our final Harry Potter film, this has been a spectacular year for the Studio," said Warner Bros. Pictures President of International Distribution Veronika Kwan-Rubinek. 

"These incredible numbers are a testament to the diverse and powerful mix of films that our studio releases, along with the hard work and insight of our international distribution teams around the world. We‘re tremendously gratified to reach this benchmark with so many exciting films yet to come," she added.

Steven Soderbergh‘s Contagion, Clint Eastwood‘s J Edgar, George Miller‘s Happy Feet Two and Guy Ritchie‘s Sherlock Holmes: Game Of Shadows sum up WBPI‘s fourth quarter releases.
