Entertainment Desk :
The third instalment in
the Fantastic Beasts movie series titled Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore was released
at STAR Cineplex on April 15. The movie is directed by David Yates from a screenplay by J K Rowling and Steve Kloves. The movie was released last week and its overseas box office collection is much lower than anticipated. Despite the movie being deemed as the best among the three Harry Potter spin-offs and getting a ‘Fresh’ score at Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has opened to a far lower score than that of the previous film, The Crimes
of Grindelwald.
However, it should be noted that the movie is yet to arrive in the USA. It
sees Eddie Redmayne reprise his role as Newt Scamander, Jude Law as Dumbledore, Katherine Waterston as Tina, Alison Sudol as Queenie, Ezra Miller as Credence, and more. Other than opening to much fewer markets, another reason could be that China has strict Covid-19 lockdown restrictions even now. Even though it made $10 million in the country, as per the report, it is still a lot less than its predecessors.
