Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald made magic at the box office.
The sequel to the 2016 film charmed audiences during its opening weekend, earning $62 million at the domestic box office.
The film, which stars Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law, and Johnny Depp, opened internationally at the same time, raking in a foreign gross of $191 million over 3 days.
The figure brings the worldwide box office total to an enchanting $253 million.
The second installment in the Harry Potter spin-off did not manage to trump its predecessor during opening weekend as the original scored $74 million domestically.
Time will tell whether the sequel overtakes Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in total earnings, but either way, Warner Bros. still has 3 other films in the franchise to be their lucky charm.
