Between Rowling and the Depp fans outraged a lot of wind has been taken out of the sails for Harry Potter.

More important is that the first two films were not very good.  I think many  people were wiling to give the second one a chance, but when it proved to be not any better then the first, they wrote the franchise off.

Getting David Yates back was their first big mistake. It's a new franchise, take a risk and go with someone who has a fresh vision. The world is so expansive, but they make it feel so narrow.

 

Good thing is the Harry Potter IP is strong enough to survive this. You could easily get viewers back with another pitch that works. Maybe the Marauders?

Huge fan of the Harry Potter series and have zero interest in Fantastic Beasts 3. The previous movie was an incoherent, instantly forgettable snoozefest.

Yeah, 2 bad films to kick off your franchise is asking for cancelation. No cultural impact from either.

Yeah it's weird how I've seen some people act like the first movie wasn't a success. Most people thought it was alright to good, a movie doesn't make over 800 mil unless most people enjoyed it.

I'll give credit where its due; he came on to direct the last four movies and managed to finish off the  OG series in a satisfying manner, not an easy thing to do. The issue with him now is that he hasn't really evolved since he got involved with Potter, he doesn't really seem interested in taking risks or changing things up.

 

At this point I just want a director who's never been involved with HP to come in and give their own perspective and make a cool fantasy movie/tv show. The brand desperately needs new writers/creatives in the mix.

If the third movie is really the best and improves everything, people will forget that the second was bad lol

OPENING WEEK-END : 40 ~ 55M$

TOTAL US : 100 ~ 140M$

A start between 40 and 55M$ for a total between 100 & 140M$ according to the first estimates of this site. Rather fair, only word of mouth can make the film get good legs up to 150 see beyond.

$500M+ worldwide secures fourth film; In Europe & Japan, the film certainly still has a powerful strike force. I wonder if the publication of the last trailer of Hogwarts Legacy (in trend since last night) can give a boost to the film.

Non, ce n'est pas nouveau. C'est Tina qui regarde les résultats de l'élection de l'ICW. Elle n'a pas de lignes dans la scène et WB ne lui a montré que deux scènes dans le film, moins les apparitions de photos (à moins qu'elles n'aient réellement ajouté quelque chose dont je ne suis pas au courant).

 

 

Do you plan to see FB3?

They're on sale now in the UK at least, it's doing pathetically bad at my local right now

I don't expect presales to be anything to write home about or a barometer until the final week.

First movie was entertaining enough but the 2nd was poorly recieved so a drop seems inevitable even if this does turn out to be good

[Samwise the Brave]

Doing poorly in my theater as well. But better than Morbius, doubling it. Still behind CoG

The Order of the Phoenix vs Lord Voldemort’s rise and fall to power would be awesome! 
 

Or do something with the next generation of Hogwarts students, with the originals in retuning roles. 
 

As a Slytherin, I’m hoping for something relating to the best Hogwarts house as well, even settle for an HBO show

 

edit: I predict it’ll make more than GoGW but less than FB, so around the 700M range, powered by international audiences
