Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” welcomed a boost in ticket sales at the international box office, though the third installment in the “Harry Potter” spinoff series already seems to be running out of steam.Over the weekend, “Fantastic Beasts 3” added $71.7 million from 66 foreign markets, taking the film’s international tally to $150.4 million. After debuting to a less-than-enchanting $43 million in North America, “The Secrets of Dumbledore” has collected $193.4 million to date.Along with United States and Canada, the Warner Bros.
film opened this weekend in France, collecting $7.1 million; Mexico, collecting $7.1 million; Brazil, collecting $4.7 million; and Korea, collecting $4.1 million. Among holdover territories, the third “Fantastic Beasts” earned $5.3 million in Germany, $4.6 million in Japan and $3.6 million in the United Kingdom.
In China, where roughly 50% of movie theaters are closed due to COVID-19, the movie has grossed $14.7 million. “The Secrets of Dumbledore,” which carries a huge $200 million price tag, will be reliant on the international box office to make money in its theatrical run.
The first two “Fantastic Beasts” installments — which ended with $814 million globally and $650 million globally, respectively — made nearly 75% of revenues from foreign sales.“Fantastic Beasts was never going to maintain Harry Potter’s success — that was a once-in-a-generation phenomenon,” says David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research.
