This past weekend saw the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Instant Family, and Widows.

In first place is Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, with $62.2 million. While this is enough to put it far ahead of the competition, it is the lowest opening any Wizarding World film to date by a substantial margin, including Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which opened at $74.4 million. Given the relatively low rating of 40% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the non-glowing B+ on CinemaScore, I’m not sure this will face a long tail at the box office. Plus with the likes of Creed 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet coming out, competition is pretty stiff.

In second place is The Grinch with $38.2 million, only dropping 43.5% from its already-strong opening weekend. So far, the film has taken in $151.7 million worldwide off its $75 million budget, meaning the film is likely close to breaking even, if not already profitable. With the holiday season underway, I think the weeks to come could also bring increased interest in this film.
