The first film was very successful with a global box office of more than $800 million, The Crimes of Grindelwald saw a nearly 20 percent decline with only $650 million. While the film still could perform well at the foreign box office, there does seem to be a sense of diminishing returns in the franchise. The film at present as a 49 percent critic's score at Rotten Tomatoes - a number that falls in the "rotten" range, with the general consensus being that the while the film does manage to avoid the problems of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, it's also a far cry from the magic of the overall Wizarding World. The film isn't doing especially well with critics either. The film is getting off to a slow start at the domestic box office and has the series' lowest projected opening weekend yet.
And that's where things could get interesting. waiting to see how the latest film performs to decide if they will greenlight the last two films. Recently, it was reported that Warner Bros. The Secrets of Dumbledore gets the franchise over the halfway point, but now parts four and five are uncertain. Rowling's own controversies, there's been speculation about the future of the franchise, all begging the question how many films will there actually be in the Fantastic Beasts series. Between controversy over the reveal of Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald at the end of the first film and later his eventual departure from the franchise during production on The Secrets of Dumbledore, to Ezra Miller's public strife - including his recent arrest just days before the third film's premiere, and even franchise creator J.K.
There has been a lot of controversy and other challenges behind-the-scenes, even from the very first film. But while the films are meant to further inspire wonder for audiences by going deeper into the world's history, some of that wonder has been tarnished.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is now in theaters, the third film the Wizarding World franchise that generally serves as a prequel to the Harry Potter films, set seven decades before the Boy Who Lived's adventures with a story that follows Newt Scamander (played by Eddie Redmayne), the fictional author of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
