Warner Bros. is looking to capitalize further on the good name of the Harry Potter franchise with the upcoming spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Outside of not having Harry Potter in the name, Fantastic Beasts could suffer a little from another movie that is about to drop in the U.S. Marvel’s latest movie Doctor Strange is coming out just a couple of weeks before Fantastic Weeks and Where to Find Them, and the buzz on it has been overwhelmingly positive.
According to SFGate, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is currently tracking for an opening weekend box office around $75 million.
If Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them can do that, it would surely be enough to justify continuing on with the franchise.
