The film followed the fictional author of the book, Newt Scamander, as he came to America in the 1920s to capture and rehome various creatures hidden in his magical suitcase. The film was a major success at the box office, bringing in over $800 million, and was praised for its expansion of the Potter lore.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><\/p>\n<div id=\"adsninja-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"adsninja-ad-zone\">\n<div id=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone\">\n<div class=\"ad-current\">\n<div id=\"ad-zone-container-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"ad-zone-container ad-zone-container-content-character-count-repeatable-1\" data-no-fill-collapsable=\"false\"><strong class=\"ad-zone-advertising-tag\">MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The film\u2019s success allowed for a sequel in the form of 2018\u2019s <em>Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald<\/em>.

The third installment, <em>Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore<\/em>, is slated to release in the United States on April 15th, but there\u2019s extra pressure on this particular film. According to various sources, Variety has reported that there is currently no screenplay for a fourth film. Not only that, Warner Bros.

Rowling herself. The author, who was once so beloved, has now become a political figurehead in the past few years due to her continued comments. These comments drove a wedge between fans, with many LGBTQ members and allies swearing off the Wizarding World altogether. Following this, during the production of <em>Crimes of Grindelwald<\/em>, Johnny Depp (who plays Grindelwald) was under fire for losing a libel case against The Sun, which published an article referring to him as a \u201cwife-beater\u201d. Depp would later step down from the role for <em>Secrets of Dumbledore<\/em>, where Grindelwald is now played by Mads Mikkelsen. The issues with figureheads of the franchise don\u2019t end there. Ezra Miller, who plays Credence Barebone in all three movies, was arrested for disorderly conduct and harassment a mere day before the world premiere of <em>Secrets of Dumbledore<\/em>.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\nThis is putting Warner Bros. between a rock and a hard place. With a major franchise and theme parks in Orlando, Hollywood and Japan, they can\u2019t exactly just drop the franchise and start over. To keep audiences coming back, new content needs to be made. Stephen Galloway, dean of Chapman University film school, points out the importance of film income for the studio.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n\u201cFeature film revenue is the tip of the iceberg here. It\u2019s pretty crucial to their business moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On top of the scandals, it seems as if audiences just aren\u2019t connecting with Newt and his friends as they did with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Many experts claim that returning to where it all began could remind audiences of the magic and bring folks back to the theater. One option is Chris Columbus, who directed <em>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone<\/em>, expressing interest in adapting the <em>Harry Potter and the Cursed Child <\/em>stage play to theaters. <em>Cursed Child<\/em> picks up directly after <em>Deathly Hallows<\/em> and would bring back all the characters we love. There\u2019s also the option of direct-to-streaming content, such as a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2021\/tv\/news\/harry-potter-series-hbo-max-1234865601\/\">Harry Potter TV series for HBO Max<\/a>.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #4! --><br \/>\nWhatever direction they choose, Warner Bros. has a long road ahead. While the Wizarding World has grown to something not so friendly for audiences, it stands as a major tent pole franchise for the company. Whether that magic will continue or fizzle out will depend on the performance of Newt and his friends. For now, all we can do is sit and watch.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/w3cqYv4yr7JyneOR0kEZO8euYGkmqe.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/w3cqYv4yr7JyneOR0kEZO8euYGkmqe.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1344\" height=\"707\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Fantastic Beasts 3 Star Mads Mikkelsen Calls Copying Johnny Depp 'Creatively Stupid'\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            Fantastic Beasts 3 Star Mads Mikkelsen Calls Copying Johnny Depp &#8216;Creatively Stupid&#8217;\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    About The Author<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/61a6ce1740e8f-Selfie.png?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Caroline Miller<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(123 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n                Caroline is a longtime admirer of film, music and the arts.
