WEEKEND PREVIEW: Fifteen years ago J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series made the leap from its place in literary history to its place in film history. Since then, the eight-film franchise has generated nearly $2.4 billion domestically and over $7.7 billion worldwide with the last of the Harry Potter films being released five years ago. This weekend a new adventure within J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World begins in the form of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a prequel to the Harry Potter franchise, debuting in over 4,000 theaters and looking at a #1 opening that could top $90 million.

Fantastic Beasts being a hit is really a testament of the HP brand and legacy. It's a totally new story with totally new characters so it's a much harder sell. The Hobbit had a bunch of original characters + similar storyline and it was a big disappointment.
