At this point, Harry Potter and Marvel are stiff competition. There definitely would have been a time when Harry Potter could have easily taken down Marvel (in ticket sales – most Marvel heroes could best Harold in a fight), but that time has passed, and now, they are hard-fought competitors.
During its opening weekend, Fantastic Beasts managed to make $75 million its opening weekend, pushing Doctor Strange to number 2 at only $17 million.
However, it is important to note that Doctor Strange made a whopping $85 million during its opening weekend, so overall, it is still taking the cake.
