11/7/2023 0 Comments Fantastic beats two![]() That leaves us with between $53m and $75m. We’re probably looking at a 2.5x weekend multiplier ( Goblet of Fire and Fantastic Beasts) for a slightly disappointing $64m Fri-Sun launch.īest-case-scenario sees a multiplier like Chamber of Secrets (2.9x $29.6 = $88 million) and worst-case-scenario sees a multiplier like Deathly Hallows part I (2.05x $61m = $125m). Rowling “part two” is playing just close enough to the second Hobbit movie (in terms of drops) to be a coin toss. ![]() So, within the first 24 hours at least, this J.K. And Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets earned just 8.3% less ($29.6m in 2002) on its opening Friday than Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone ($32.333m in 2001). For reference, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug earned $31m on its first Friday in 2013, 16% below the $37m opening day of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. It earned 35% of its opening day on Friday compared to 30% ($8.75m) two years ago, but that’s not unexpected for a sequel. That’s 13% below the $29.7 million opening day for the last film. So, yes, for the moment, I wouldn't be super-duper thrilled with a $25.7m Friday gross, including a $9.1m Thursday preview figure. As of this morning, it has a 47% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 5.6/10 average critic rating, compared to 74% fresh and 6.8/10 for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Rowling-penned fantasy sequel, which sends Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander to Paris at the behest of Dumbledore (Jude Law) to find Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller) before the magical kid gets recruited by Grindelwald (Depp), earned comparatively savage reviews in the run-up to release. So with that said, I’d call the opening day for Fantastic Beasts 2 a slight disappointment compared to Fantastic Beasts 1.
