Warner Bros. is supposed to make two more FantasticBeasts movies, according to J.K. Rowling's master plan. Is that even possible? Or is the HarryPotter prequel franchise completely dead?
., which bet big on the assumption that all things Hogwarts would remain relevant at the box office — whether or not Harry, Ron and Hermione were involved in the adventures that unfold on screen.
Yet that hasn’t been the case. Though the second installment, 2018’s “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,” didn’t entirely sputter with $654 million at the worldwide box office, its rocky performance put the future of Newt Scamander — the protagonist played by Eddie Redmayne — and company in question. Ticket sales were down 20% from 2016’s “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” which grossed more than $800 million globally.
There wasn’t yet a screenplay for the fourth or fifth entry by April 2022, when the third “Fantastic Beasts” movie opened in theaters. Executives at Warner Bros. were waiting to see the reception toward “The Secrets of Dumbledore” before pumping resources into the final chapters in the magical saga. Unlike the original eight-film “Potter” franchise, which was adapted from a rich, doorstop of novels, Rowling only has for “Fantastic Beasts.
Months later, Warner Bros. doesn’t seem to be prioritizing another chapter in the “Fantastic Beasts” universe.

So, the curious silence on another “Fantastic Beasts” chapter isn’t exactly encouraging. It’s worth noting, though, that “The Secrets of Dumbledore” opened around the same time as the Warner Bros.
