Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald draait ondertussen wereldwijd in de bioscopen en heeft dit weekeinde een shitload aan geld opgebracht. Want volgens de website ComingSoon staat de teller globaal op $253 miljoen Dollar, en dat ondanks veel kritiek en een tijd paradox in het verhaal.

Warner Bros.' Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the 10th feature film in the Wizarding World, debuted to a stellar $191 million internationally. Coupled with its $62.2 million domestic debut, the sequel has brought in $253 million globally. The film's domestic opening was softer than 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them which opened to $74.4 million in the same release window. Directed once again by David Yates and from a script by JK Rowling, the film stars Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamandar alongside returning stars Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, and Ezra Miller. They're joined by Claudia Kim, Zoe Kravitz, Callum Turner, with Jude Law as Dumbledore and Johnny Depp as the titular Grindelwald.
