Fantastic animals 3: The film in the universe of Harry Potter plunges in boxes

Released on April 13, fantastic animals: Dumbledore's secrets, does not make a recipe. Change of actors for the big villain, scenario that hesitates between several influences, controversy around J.K. Rowling or Ezra Miller and difficulty in productions are all factors that can explain the situation. But it does not go by arranging on the American continent

• A disappointment linked to multiple factors

The opening weekend of fantastic animals: the secrets of Dumbledore did not go as well as Warner Bros would have liked, making very uncertain the future of this franchise.

Fantastic animals already dethroned in North America, but saved internationally

With only $ 43 million generated in North America, the film made the worse start of all the Wizarding World, a brand that brings together everything related to the universe of Harry Potter. In France , the film still made more than a million admissions between April 13 and 19, which is far from dishonorable.

Unfortunately, in the United States, the difficulties continue for the film, which recorded a fall in attendance of 67% during its second weekend, generating only an additional 14 million. In latest news, the film had generated $ 67 million at the American box office , which dives in third place behind Les Bad Guys, the animated film of DreamWorks Reality by Pierre Perifel Who launched himself by generating $ 24 million, but also behind sonic 2 which added 15.2 million to its local total which is now $ 145.8 million, for more than 300 million in the world.

In other words, The fantastic animals: the secrets of Dumbledore should, with less than a miracle, be the least profitable film of the franchise across the Atlantic. For comparison, the first film started with $ 74 million, when the second opus, The crimes of Grindelwald, had generated 62 million. Fortunately for the Warner and the film, the success is quite present on the rest of the glovable with $ 280 million generated at the box office.

A disappointment linked to multiple factors

But how can we explain that this new film receives such a mixed welcome on the American continent, and is successful below expectations in the world? First, the film suffered from the pandemic , forcing production to delay the shooting and manage certain aspects at a distance. The multiple changes and disappearances of actors, starting with that of Johnny Depp for Mads Mikkelsen, the withdrawal of Kevin Guthrie also played, as well as the controversies ** that surround J.K Rowling and Ezra Miller.

* While waiting for Hogwarts Legacy, why was fantastic animals 3 devoted to failure?

The film was not helped by word of mouth either, which often depicts the film, whose script was reworked, as very hesitant between the story of Dumbledore, that of fantastic animals, and that of the 'Harry Potter universe in general . So what a future for the license which was initially to be composed of 5 films. The trend seems to go towards a stop, the scenarios of other films having not yet been written and the Warner waiting to see How is this third opus at the box office.
