'Fantastic Beasts' Opens Big in Foreign Markets Box Office
Warner Bros. has debuted Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them strongly overseas. Opening in nine markets on Wednesday, the film has earned $6.9 million across 5,070 screens, finishing first in each market.
In France, the film earned $1.8, while South Korea tallied $1.7. In Indonesia, the film earned $480,000. The numbers for its Australian release, as well as sixteen other markets opening on Friday, are to be released.
It all bodes well for a big opening weekend take. The film stars Eddie Redmayne and the script is written by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. David Yates returns to direct, after having helmed the final four films of the original Harry Potter franchise.
