As you can see, the latest film is at the tail of the charts. Undoubtedly, lower revenues were also caused by the pandemic, which limited the interest of spectators in attending cinemas. However, the Fantastic Beast series is not nearly as captivating as Harry Potter, while at the same time, it is not nearly as good.

According to Hollywood magazine and the analysts from Deadline, the fourth part does not have a script yet. The upcoming Harry Potter series, which will premiere on HBO Max, does not even have screenwriters yet, and it is entirely possible that we will not see another part of Fantastic Beasts.

Warner Bros. Studio allegedly waited for the sales of this film to decide whether, to shoot two more parts (the original plan was to shoot 5 parts of Fantastic Beasts). Fantastic Beasts 3 brought a total of $ 192 million to their account.
