'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' Already Big Hit at U.S. Box Office

The latest "Harry Potter" adventure is sure to be a big hit at the U.S. box office - almost 500 showtimes for the film have already sold out, two weeks ahead of its release. Bosses at top movie ticket agency Fandango report 61 per cent of its daily business is for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" seats.

The movie opens in the U.S. on November 19. Fandango Chief Operating Officer Rick Butler tells WENN, "We've seen more sold out showtimes for this film than we've seen for any other film this year, at the same point in the sales cycle."

The movie will follow Harry, Ron and Hermione as they track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort's immortality and destruction-the Horcruxes. Meanwhile, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" is set to hit U.S. theaters in July 2011.
