Box Office

Box office in China continues to fall due to Covid lockdowns causing cinema closures, with double-digit drops in box office revenues compared to last year’s numbers. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore held on to its No.

Four new movies arrived at the French box office this week. Thanks to the school break and the Easter holidays, animation and light fiction films were the most successful.

Italians flocked to the cinema over the Easter weekend. And Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, the third installment of the prequel to the Harry Potter saga, climbed in its first week of programming at the Box Office, reaching the top position and the €4 million mark.

Easter Monday is a holiday, too, in most European countries and therefore counts as part of the box office weekend. But despite the additional day, there was hardly any change in ranking as well as ticket sales.

Despite earning $43 million and topping the domestic box office chart, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore opened not so fantastically, according to box office analysts. The third installment in Eddie Redmayne’s Fantastic Beasts series continued the downward slope of the J.

After much controversy over the removal of six seconds of dialogue editing out all references to the romantic relationship of Dumbledore (Jude Law) and Grindlewald (Mads Mikkelsen), Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore won the week at the China box office, earning $14. 7 million since its opening on April 9.

Are more families finally feeling safer about going back to the cineplexes? The record box office figures of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, pegged at $71 million, the highest weekend debut ever of a video game adaptation movie in the United States and Canada, maybe a promising sign. Paul Dergarabedian, a veteran box office analyst with Comscore, which offers real-time movie and television services, said to the media, “There has been some indication that families wanted to go back with movies like Sing 2 but it has moved in fits and starts.

The overall ranking of films at the Italian box office for the first half of the 2021/2022 season is out. A hard blow for Italian productions: only one Italian film managed to gain a space in the top ten: Me contro Te, released last August, a teen comedy starring the two young YouTube stars Sofia Scalia and Luigi Calagna.

The beasts were fantastic and took the top spot: the third installment of J. K.

Despite being savaged by critics as one of the worst Marvel movies ever, Morbius still chalked up respectable earnings of $39. 1 million to debut at number one.
