Fantasy Films Top Box Office (Again)
A new movie debuts at #1, & Sci-Fi Fantasy continues to dominate...
JK Rowling's Harry Potter fans came out in droves to see Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. $75-million in USA ticket sales for it's first weekend in the theater makes quite a statement. Dr. Strange, which held the #1 slot for the past two weeks, still finished #2. The rest of the top 5: Trolls (down from 2nd to 3rd), Arrival (off from #3 to #4), & Almost Christmas (falling from 4th-5th). Thanksgiving Weekend means big money for the movie biz, & some new releases with "name" stars are premiering Wednesday, so the next round of results should be even more interesting to see.
