That is a dip of -53% compared to the Friday before. Which is a pretty big dip in domestic box office sale. Something which some may put down to the poor reviews that the movie has been receiving. But, when looking at past Wizarding World movies, it’s not as bad you think.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part I saw a dip of -66% when it came to their second round of domestic box office sales. However, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire saw a dip of only -43% and when comparing Fantastic Beast and Where to Find them, the first movie of the prequel franchise only saw a dip of -38%
It will obviously breach the $100 million mark come the end of the weekend. And this is all before the international sale have been taking into account.
Will it cause a concern for future Fantastic Beasts movies? Probably not. Fantastic Beasts 3 has already been confirmed and is to begin filming next year. So if anything, this is more trivia knowledge than anything.
