Fantastic Beasts surely won’t be the biggest opening in franchise history, but this would be a terrific start for the new franchise.
Box Office Mojo is reporting that Fantastic Beasts is currently tracking very well and is now expected to gross more than $90 million domestically over the weekend.
If Fantastic Beasts does meet the latest projections, it will have the fourth or fifth best opening domestically.
The Harry Potter brand is without a doubt playing a part in generating interest in Fantastic Beasts, but the film on its own has done the same.
