I don't think any film has stated how, or what, actually starts it; or is there?
If it's just dead unrestrained bodies, ie, not in graves, not locked in morgues, coming back to life... that's not very many bodies. Hard to say where that tipping point would be, where, or how fast it gets out of hand.

Yeah both versions of NotLD made it look like the humans defeated the zombies by the next day.
Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead both showed that wasn't the case and the zombies pretty much took over the whole world.
I think what allows the zombies to take over the world so easily is the confusion and panic. Why is every dead person in the world getting up again? Why are they eating people? Why is it that when they bite somebody that person turns too? Why can't we stop them with bullets like a normal person?
Plus think about the fact that the characters in zombie movies always act like they have never seen a zombie movie before.
