Fantastic Beasts Dethrones Doctor Strange at the Box Office

Starring Eddie Redmayne, Colin Farrell, Jon Voight, and Ezra Miller, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” has additionally earned $143.3 million from foreign markets and has earned roughly $218.3 million for on its global debut. Both have received excellent reviews from critics as they hope that will lead to increases in box office performance.

Warner Bros’ “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” debuted at first place this weekend in Northern America. The Woody Harrelson and Hailee Steinfeld-starring comedy flick lands in the seventh place with an estimated $4.9 million, while Miles Teller’s sports drama debuts in the eighth place with approximately $2.4 million.

The film, set 70 years before Potter’s birth, stars Oscar victor Eddie Redmayne as a “magizoologist” seeking monsters in 1920s New York City.

DreamWorks Animation’s “Trolls” dropped from second to third as it earned $17.4 million in revenue, box office tracker Exhibitor Relations said. Bringing in $US143 million internationally (giving the film a healthy $US128 million global box office) is likely the figure that WB is reassured about the film’s staying power. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has already been premiered in the New York City on 10 November 2016 and now it has released worldwide on 18 November 2016 in 3D, IMAX 4K Laser and other large format theatres.
