Warner Bros.
The magician spectacle » Fantastic Beasts 3: Dumbledore’s Secrets » continues to enjoy great popularity in German cinemas. With 320,000 additional viewers* last weekend (according to Blickpunkt:Film ), the third «Harry Potter» prequel again ended up at the top of the cinema charts — and that by a clear margin ahead of second place, the newly launched adventure fun » The Lost City — The Mystery of the Lost City » (by the way with «Harry Potter» Daniel Radcliffe as the villain), which was able to attract 140,000 people to the cinemas.
But that’s not all: With the newly sold tickets, «Fantastic Animal Beings 3″ was the first film in 2022 (and only the third film since the beginning of the corona pandemic) to break the two million visitor mark in Germany. As we predicted a few weeks ago, » The Batman » has now been dethroned from the throne of the most successful films released in Germany in 2022.
In addition, the magical adventure is now even penetrating the realms of the Marvel mega hit » Spider-Man: No Way Home » — at least if you only look at ticket sales from this year, where the MCU nostalgia festival also reached a value beyond which has two million viewers. However, the start date is decisive for the official statistics and the assignment of the film successes to the year figures, which is why the “No Way Home” with a total of around 4.5 million visitors is counted as 2021 anyway and the “Fantastic Animal Beings” sequel especially holding the throne for 2022.
Top in Germany, flop elsewhere
In fact, Germany is also the highest-grossing market for Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore outside of the United States. The sum of 23.3 million dollars (according to Deadline ) is even ahead of the figures from the country of origin of “Harry Potter” Great Britain (21.7 million dollars) and the huge cinema market China (17.5 million dollars). Overall, the performance of the fantasy blockbuster is still rather disappointing.
In the US, «Fantastic Beasts 3″ only grossed $42 million on the Easter opening weekend, $20 million less than the second part, which also fell short of expectations at the time — and even $30 million less than part 1. Since then it hasn’t been too much either much added. Already in week 2 after the cinema release it was only enough for number 3 in the charts (after » Die Gangster Gang » and » Sonic 2 «). «Dumbledore’s Secrets» is currently grossing around 67 million dollars overseas, and 280 million dollars worldwide.
