'Fantastic Beasts 3: The Secrets of Dumbledore' made $58 million at the international box office ahead of its opening weekend in North America.
The third installment in Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter spinoff franchise, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore opened at the top spot at the international box office, ahead of its stateside debut next weekend. With $58 million in 22 territories—the film ranked number one in each of them—Fantastic Beasts 3 was the top choice for audiences, and is tracking just slightly behind another W.B. hit, The Batman.
Breaking down the numbers territory-by-territory, Fantastic Beasts 3 made $10 million in China, accounting for a 62% market share among the top five films. It made $9.4 million in Germany, $8.6 million in Japan, $8 million in Harry Potter’s homeland the U.K. and $3.9 million in Australia.This is a precarious time for the franchise, which was showing clear signs of dwindling audience interest the last time around. Many course-correction moves were made by W.B.
The first installment—2016’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them—made an excellent $814 million worldwide. The second—Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald—opened to inferior reviews, and could only muster a series low total of $654 million worldwide in 2018.
