Barely Winning the Box Office

Though it topped the chart at the weekend box office, Warner Bros. had higher hopes for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. According to Deadline, the film had the lowest domestic opening ever for the Harry Potter franchise—pulling in just $43 million. The Secrets of Dumbledore is the third installment of what was planned to be a five-picture series for Fantastic Beasts. Time will tell if Warner Bros. decides to move forward with the last two films in the series.
