It's been 19 years since the first Harry Potter Movie, Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone, was released and this week, thanks to a 4K, 3D release in China, the movie passes the $1 Billion box office gross.

Released originally in November 2001 the movie was a massive hit at the time, taking £63 Million in the UK and nearly $800 Million globally.

The movie has had a couple of releases which have added to the movies global gross and with the current global pandemic closing cinemas Warner Bros. have re-released the movie again to big box office numbers.

The movie has taken nearly $14 Million on its Chinese re-release pushing the movie over the mark.

The movie is the second in the movie adaptations from J.K. Rowling's books to go over this mark with Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 taking $1.3 Billion on its original release in 2011.
