Getting a release in 22 countries the third in the Fantastic Beasts series of movies makes its debut at number 2 this weekend getting a release in 22 countries.
The movie takes a reasonable $58 Million on its debut, but with a release in countries like North America next weekend expect this to more than double and the movie to take over at the top.
Falling hard to number 3 this weekend is the Marvel/Sony vampire movie starring Jared Leto which takes $25.2 Million over the weekend, a hard 70% drop over last weekend.
This puts the movie total global gross at $126 Million after 2 weeks of release, this must be seen as a big disappointment for Sony, especially after the mega success of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Judging from the teaser it takes the director back to his roots and there is definitely a feel of the 1996 hit movie Independence Day and oddly there is a distinct tone of Armageddon from director Michael Bay, again another 90's disaster movie.
The trailer plays heavily on the idea that the human race visited the moon on the 1960's, and now the moon is coming to visit us, and some sort of alien is involved as we get a quick shot of something with tentacles in the trailer.
The movie stars Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson and we will most like be drop fed more info as the next six month go by, the release date is February 2022.
