Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

The latest installment in the "Fantastic Beasts" series of movie prequels based on characters from the Harry Potter universe – the third of five planned ...

Exactly how the election is rigged – and unrigged – is best left unsaid, but it does involve a sort of sprawling game of three-card monte, conducted by Newt and incorporating suitcases, some empty and some not, over the streets and alleyways of a mountain village in Bhutan. It’s a modest and not especially clever gambit, and the story seems to peter out with a disappointing whimper rather than with a bang. Nor is the fact of their falling out over Dumbledore’s disagreement with Grindelwald’s plan to, as the latter puts it, “burn down” the world of nonmagical Muggles (whom he dismisses as foul-smelling “animals”). The real skeleton in the Dumbledore closet, so to speak, is something quite apart from the character’s sexuality and was alluded to at the end of the last film. This being the wizarding world, the election involves acclamation not by anything so pedestrian as the popular vote, but by the approval of the qilin, which has the magical ability to sense a man or woman of honor and good character. Gifts processed in this system are not tax deductible, but are predominately used to help meet the local financial requirements needed to receive national matching-grant funds. Although subtitled “The Secrets of Dumbledore,” the movie is only nominally about Dumbledore family secrets: not just those involving the great wizard Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) in the years before he became headmaster of Hogwarts, but those concerning other branches of his family tree.

Mads Mikkelsen is magnetic as evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald.

"Secrets" leaves him the possibility of further adventures, if more movies get made, but it also helps us understand the trauma that what will make him tick at Hogwarts. Ultimately, "Secrets" answers that question in the affirmative. "The Secrets of Dumbledore" takes a few scenes to get going.

'Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore' Looks To Spell Near $160M WW Total By Easter; 'Father Stu' Sees $1.6M Opening Day Box Office.

Sonic 2 came in ahead of its Sunday projection with a $72.1M opening; the pic is expected to ease 50% in weekend 2 with an estimated $36M. The film currently holds a 95% positive audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and received a 5-star PostTrak exit. On the heels of the openings of The Lost City, Morbius and Sonic the Hedgehog, that’s a great spring for recovering exhibitors. Outlook for the weekend over five days is $7M to possibly $10M. Abroad, 44 new markets this weekend including France, Italy, and Korea on Wednesday, followed by Brazil and Mexico on Thursday, are expected to deliver well north of $40M for the Burbank, CA lot. This is the first time the franchise is playing the spring having previously played November before. Meanwhile, Columbia Pictures looks to capitalize on the Christian holiday weekend with the Mark Wahlberg R-rated drama Father Stu, about an amateur boxer who eventually becomes a Catholic priest. Franchise-wise, after Fantastic Beasts 1 and 2 respectively opened to $74.4M and $62.1M, this installment is poised to play like a threequel, particularly coming off of the second film which earned a B+ CinemaScore in 2018. The stateside arrival of J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, and further expansion abroad into 44 markets, arrives days after the Warner Bros. Discovery merger went public. Grindelwald pulled in 52% female, with 52% over 25. The Harry Potter franchise spinoff has always demonstrated its potency more so abroad than stateside, so look for the magic there. David Yates, who has directed all the Fantastic Beasts movies, and Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows 1 & 2, is natch behind this threequel, which after a $56.9 million start in 22 offshore markets last weekend is eyeing, thanks to Easter vacations, a near $77M overseas cume by EOD Thursday. Add in a global weekend projected haul of $80M, and it will take Dumbledore‘s worldwide cume to $157M by Sunday according to industry estimates.

Directed by David Yates, the cast includes Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore, and Mads Mikkelsen as Gellert Grindelwald. Ezra ...

This would follow the same release pattern as The Batman, which opened in theaters on March 4, and is coming to HBO Max on Monday, April 18. After 45 days in theaters, you will be able to stream Fantastic Beasts 3 on HBO Max. Read on for more details. This year, however, Warner Bros. theatrical movies will have a 45-day theaters-only run before moving to HBO Max.

Jeri Jacquin Coming to theatres from director David Yates and Warner Bros. Pictures are secrets revealed with FANTASTIC BEASTS: The Secrets of Dumbledore.

The CGI is what you would expect of the wizarding world and the soundtrack is memorable. Nadylam as Yusuf has one of the hardest tasks, being in the presence of Grindelwald and becoming part of his force. Fighting against a force that only wants to destroy, Dumbledore brings together the brightest and most loyal to help him stop the madness. Fogler as Jacob is the muggle who might hesitate for a second to rejoin the fight against Grindelwald and for very Queenie reasons. Turner as Theseus is now seeing the other side of the wand and the struggles his brother has faced. Mikkelsen as Grindelwald has had the very difficult task of bringing a second life to this character. Law returns as Dumbledore and per his usual habits, he is playing a game of wizard chess of his very own. Sudol as Queenie returns, and her presence is a distraction for Jacob as Grindelwald keeps an eye on her. In order to get close to Grindelwald, a diversion is created allowing Newt to tell everyone what Grindelwald has done. Trying to save the baby Qilin, Newt is attacked, and the newborn is taken from him. Dumbledore (Jude Law) calls upon Newt for help as he is unable to stop Grindelwald because of a blood-pact between them. The International Confederation of Wizards has acquitted Grindelwald of all the crimes he committed.

The latest installment in the 'Harry Potter' universe sees Jude Law's Albus Dumbledore facing off against Mads Mikkelsen's Gellert Grindelwald.
