Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore pulled up in fourth place, earning just south of $4 million. The Harry Potter spinoff has earned a modest $86 million after four weeks, but has fared much better overseas, where it collected $277.7 million. It’s worldwide total currently stands at $363.7 million.
Rounding out the top five was the indie film Everything Everywhere All at Once, which delivered $3.3 million in its seventh week of release.
