Fantastic Beasts And The Crimes of Grindelwald is a 2018 fantasy film directed by David Yates and written by J. K. Rowling. A joint American and British production, it is the sequel to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016). It is the second instalment in the Fantastic Beasts film series and the tenth overall in the Wizarding World franchise, which began with the Harry Potter film series. It features an ensemble cast including Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Zoë Kravitz, Callum Turner, Claudia Kim, William Nadylam, Kevin Guthrie, Jude Law and Johnny Depp. Set in 1927, it follows Newt Scamander and Albus Dumbledore as they attempt to take down the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald while facing new threats in a more divided wizarding world.

A second Fantastic Beasts film was announced in October 2014, and in July 2016 Rowling confirmed she had completed the script. Depp was cast in November 2016, causing some controversy due to domestic violence allegations recently made against him. Law signed on in April 2017. Principal photography began in July 2017 at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, in England. Filming also took place in London, Switzerland, and Paris, and wrapped in December 2017.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald premiered in Paris on 8 November 2018 and was released worldwide on 16 November 2018, in RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, IMAX 3D, 4DX, IMAX, and ScreenX formats, by Warner Bros. Pictures.[2] It grossed over $654 million worldwide, making it the tenth highest-grossing film of 2018, but the lowest-grossing instalment of the Wizarding World franchise. It received mixed reviews, with praise for its entertainment value, direction, and performances, but criticism of the "needlessly complicated, low-stakes plot", which some critics felt was "overburdened" with details setting up future sequels.[3]

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald was nominated for two awards at the 72nd British Academy Film Awards, in the categories of Best Production Design and Best Special Visual Effects.[4] An untitled third film is scheduled for release in summer 2022.[5]

Plot[]

In 1927, the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA) tries to transfer dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald to Europe to stand trial, but he escapes. Three months later in London, Newt Scamander visits the Ministry of Magic to appeal his international travel ban and runs into Leta Lestrange, his Hogwarts classmate and fiancée of his Auror brother Theseus. The Ministry agrees to grant Newt's request if he helps Theseus locate Credence Barebone in Paris, but Newt declines, so the task is given to ruthless bounty hunter Gunnar Grimmson. Albus Dumbledore asks Newt to save Credence from Grindelwald and the Ministry, mentioning that Credence may be Leta's long-lost half-brother, Corvus.

Newt is visited by his American friends Queenie Goldstein, a witch, and Jacob Kowalski, a Muggle.[a] He is disappointed to learn Queenie's sister, Tina, began dating someone after reading an article that inaccurately stated he had become engaged to Leta. He deduces from Jacob's strange behavior that Queenie enchanted Jacob into eloping to England to circumvent MACUSA's ban on marriage between wizards and muggles. After Newt lifts the enchantment, Jacob refuses to marry Queenie, fearing the consequences she would face. Queenie leaves to find Tina, who is looking for Credence in Paris, and Newt and Jacob follow her.

In Paris, Credence escapes the Circus Arcanus with captive performer Nagini. Searching for Credence's birth mother, they locate the half-elf servant Irma Dugard, who had brought him to America for adoption. Grimmson, revealed to be a follower of Grindelwald, appears and kills Irma before she can give Credence any information.

Tina meets Yusuf Kama, who is also hunting Credence. Newt and Jacob follow Yusuf to Tina, only to find her being held hostage. Yusuf imprisons them as well, explaining he is bound by an Unbreakable Vow to kill Credence; he then collapses. The trio escapes and Newt removes a parasite that has weakened Yusuf. Elsewhere, Queenie, unable to find Tina, is brought to Grindelwald. Knowing her abilities, he is able to manipulate her into joining him using her desire to marry Jacob.

Newt and Tina infiltrate the French Ministry of Magic for some Lestrange family documents that can confirm Credence's identity, and Newt is finally able to tell her he is not engaged. The pair comes across Leta, and together they discover the documents were moved to the Lestrange family tomb. The trio go there, and are surprised to find Yusuf, Credence, Nagini, and Jacob. Yusuf says his father made him vow to avenge his mother after she was kidnapped by Corvus Lestrange Senior using the Imperius Curse and died giving birth to Leta, who Corvus Sr. had truly never loved. Leta reveals Credence is not Corvus Junior, since she unintentionally caused her brother's death as a child when, she force to leave with her baby brother and the other people as the storm begins on a boat to America , she switched him with another infant, Credence, just before the ship sank, and infant Corvus Jr. had drowned.

The group sees a secret door and discovers a rally for Grindelwald's ever-expanding followers. Jacob finds Queenie among the attendees, but she does not want to leave before hearing Grindelwald. Grindelwald shows the crowd a vision of a future global war and rails against the forces prohibiting wizards from taking control and preventing such a tragedy. As Theseus and the Aurors surround the rally, Grindelwald prompts the attendees to spread his message across Europe and conjures a ring of blue fire that only his loyal followers can cross safely. The uncontrollable blue fiendfyre kills many retreating Aurors, but does not injure Queenie or Credence. Leta sacrifices herself so Newt and Theseus can escape. After Grindelwald departs, the remaining wizards and immortal renowned alchemist Nicolas Flamel extinguish the fiendfyre before it can destroy all of Paris. Newt chooses to join the fight against Grindelwald.

At Hogwarts, Newt presents Prof. Dumbledore with a vial stolen from Grindelwald. It symbolizes a blood pact Grindelwald and Dumbledore had made in their youth that prevents them dueling each other, but Dumbledore believes he might be able to destroy it and release himself. At Nurmengard Castle, his Austriamn base, Grindelwald presents Credence with a wand and reveals Credence’s true identity as Aurelius Dumbledore, the secret and long-lost younger brother of Albus and Aberforth and the late Ariana. Credence demonstrates his mighty strength by using the wand to blast apart a mountainside.

    The main attraction of a wizarding circus and freak show called Circus Arcanus and a Maledictus, who carries a blood curse that will eventually transform her into a snake permanently.

Development[]

In October 2014, Warner Bros. Pictures announced that Fantastic Beasts would be "at least" a trilogy, with the first instalment set to be released on 18 November 2016, the second on 16 November 2018, and the third on 20 November 2020. David Yates was confirmed to direct at least the first instalment of the series.[19][20]

In July 2016, Yates confirmed that J. K. Rowling had written the screenplay for the second film and had ideas for the third.[21] Yates talked to Entertainment Weekly about the second film, saying: "we've seen the script for Part 2, for the second movie, which takes the story in a whole new direction – as you should, you don’t want to repeat yourself. The second movie introduces new characters as she builds this part of the Harry Potter universe further. It's a very interesting development from where we start out. The work is pouring out of her."[22]

In October 2016, it was reported that the Fantastic Beasts film series would comprise five films,[23] with Eddie Redmayne returning to play the lead role of Newt Scamander in each film. It was announced that Yates would be returning to direct the sequel for producers Rowling, David Heyman, Steve Kloves, and Lionel Wigram, and he said the second film would be set in a different global capital city than the first.[24]

Pre-production[]

The casting of Johnny Depp (pictured in character as Gellert Grindelwald) received criticism from some fans.[25]

On 1 November 2016, Deadline Hollywood reported that Johnny Depp had been cast in the film.[26][27] Depp's casting received criticism from some fans, due to domestic violence allegations against him.[28][25] In December 2017, J. K. Rowling posted on her website that she would not recast the role because Depp and his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, had previously expressed hope that the mutual agreement they reached would enable both to move on from the controversy and "the filmmakers and I are not only comfortable sticking with our original casting, but genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movies."[29] About Rowling's response, Depp said in October 2018, "I'll be honest with you, I felt bad for J. K. having to field all these various feelings from people out there. I felt bad that she had to take that."[8]

Jude Law was cast as Albus Dumbledore after director David Yates decided that the character should be played by a younger actor, not Michael Gambon (who played the role in six of the Harry Potter films).[30][27] Many other actors were considered for the role, including Christian Bale, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong, and Jared Harris (son of Richard Harris, who played Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films).[31]

Filming[]

The film is set in the UK and Paris.[27] Principal photography began on 3 July 2017 at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, in Hertfordshire, England, where a part of Paris was built for the purpose including streets, alleys, and a square. The New York set from the first film had been built in exactly the same spot.[13][32] On 22 September 2017, David Sakurai was cast to play Krall, one of the ambitious and sulky henchman of Grindelwald.[16] Law reportedly finished filming his scenes as Dumbledore in September 2017.[33] On 5 October 2017, several other castings were announced, including Brontis Jodorowsky as Nicolas Flamel and Jessica Williams joining in an undisclosed role.[34] Principal photography wrapped on 20 December 2017.[35]

Music[]

Reception[]

Box office[]

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald grossed $159.6 million in the United States and Canada, and $495.3 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $654.9 million, against a production budget of $200 million.[1] It is the lowest-grossing Wizarding World instalment to-date.

In the United States and Canada, the film was released alongside Instant Family and Widows, and was projected to gross $65–75 million from 4,163 theatres in its opening weekend.[44] The film made $25.7 million on its first day, including $9.1 million from Thursday night previews, an improvement over the first film's $8.75 million. It went on to debut to $62.2 million over the weekend, a 16% drop from the first Fantastic Beasts' $74.4 million, and marking the lowest opening for a film in the Wizarding World franchise. Deadline Hollywood noted that mixed critical reviews and competition in theaters likely hurt the opening weekend figures.[45] In its second weekend, the film dropped 52% to $29.4 million (including $42.9 million over the five-day Thanksgiving frame), finishing fourth at the box office.[46] In its third weekend, the film made $11.4 million, remaining in fourth place.[47]

Internationally, the film was expected to gross an additional $188–205 million from 79 countries, for a global debut of about $250 million.[44][48] It made $10.1 million on its first day of release from 10 countries, including $2.6 million in France and $2 million in South Korea. On its second day of release, the film began to play in 45 other countries and made another $18.4 million, for a two-day gross of $31 million. It also made $12.8 million on its first day in China, the best of any Wizarding World film in the country.[48] It went on to have an international debut of $191 million, for a global total of $253.2 million, a 2.7% improvement over the first film's debut. Its largest markets were China ($37.5 million), the UK ($16.3 million, or £12.7 million) and Germany ($12.8 million). In several countries, it had the best-ever opening for a Wizarding World film, including Russia, Indonesia, Argentina, and Brazil.[49]

Critical response[]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 36% based on 325 reviews, with an average rating of 5.30/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has glimmers of the magic familiar to Harry Potter fans, but the story's spell isn't as strong as earlier instalments."[50] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 52 out of 100 based on 48 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[51] It is the lowest-rated Wizarding World film on both websites.[52][53] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, the lowest of the franchise, while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it an 83% positive score and a 69% "definite recommend". Social media monitor RelishMix noted online responses to the film were "mixed".[45]

Andrew Barker of Variety called the film a "cluttered expansion of the Harry Potter franchise" and wrote: "The film throws plenty of plot twists, loud noises, and multihued magical nebulae at us, but rarely is there much tension, or sense of adventure, or any real longing, just the feeling of watching one chess piece after another being moved into position."[54] Critic Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, praising the performances of Law and Depp, but criticizing the film's excessive plotting, writing: "This Fantastic Beasts film is as watchable and entertaining as expected [...] but some of the wonder, novelty and sheer narrative rush of the first film has been mislaid in favour of a more diffuse plot focus, spread out among a bigger ensemble cast."[55] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave it 3 stars out of 5 and criticized the film for being overlong and exposition heavy, saying it feels "like an overload of homework"; he suggested it was too much for Muggles and best left to fans only.[56] Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "It offers up dazzling feats of sorcery and realms of wonderment [...] and manages to conjure the very opposite of magic." Chang found Newt to be "charmless" and the plot "grindingly complicated", though he welcomed the introduction of Jude Law as Dumbledore.[57]
