Will the Half-Blood Prince Break the Midnight Record?

Honk Mahfah is not only referring to himself in the third person again, he’s also looking for predictions:
What do you think? Will tomorrow’s midnight screenings of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince set a new record for best midnight opening? The current champeen is The Dark Knight, which last year at about this same time pulled in $18.5 million during the wee hours of its opening day. The runner-up is currently Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, which bagged $16.9 million. For a compariosn, this year’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the third-place opener, with an even $16 million.
Clearly Harry’s chances are lessened due to the absence of the word “revenge” in the film’s title.
What say you?
