Despite mixed reviews, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore managed to escape breaking an unwelcome Harry Potter box office record. The third instalment in the Fantastic Beasts series follows Albus Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard in the Harry Potter films, and his allies as they battle Gellert Grindelwald and his army of evil. While the film has received mixed reviews, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore has avoided being the worst Harry Potter feature.
The Harry Potter series, one of the highest-grossing movie franchises, introduced moviegoers to J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World. Despite the fact that the story ended in 2012, the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series continued to grow on this magical realm. As a result, The Secrets of Dumbledore, the third instalment in the series, moved away from Newt Scamander and his magical creatures to focus on Dumbledore and Grindelwald's relationship and past.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore was finally released in theatres on april 15, 2022, after multiple postponements. The picture exceeded expectations in its first weekend, grossing $41 million in the united states and canada and $56 million worldwide. Despite being one of the franchise's most expensive productions, The Secrets of Dumbledore has the sad distinction of having the lowest theatrical run in Harry Potter history.
