Doom eternal memes5/6/2023 assumes/hopes they already have a winner on their hands with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and that audiences will want to spend four more movies with Newt Scamander. The fans don’t matter because they’re being taken for granted. The fans haven’t made more Fantastic Beasts movie happen. showed complete disregard for the opinions of the fans. It’s ironic that at a so-called “fan event”, Warner Bros. has bucked the marketplace by saying, “You’re getting five films regardless of whether or not you like these characters or not.” It smacks of not only desperation, but also of indifference to the desires of their audience. If we look at Fantastic Beasts as a normal film, then Warner Bros. Say what you will about the Transformers franchise, but it’s grossed billions of dollars, so it’s not surprising that Paramount has announced three more movies. We like to think that we make sequels happen and that the fairness of the marketplace determines if a studio will put in the time and effort to make more movies. If an author announces a five-book series or a filmmaker announces a ten-episode mini-series, we accept that as their prerogative. The second and larger problem is that fans like to believe they’re the ones in charge of creating film franchises. It would be established that there was the necessity of five films to tell this story.

People would probably be losing their minds. and Rowling said they were making a 10-hour Harry Potter spin-off mini-series that had an unprecedented budget. Here’s another hypothetical: Again, assume there was no announcement of Fantastic Beasts and instead Warner Bros. They would have eagerly accepted Rowling, a novelist, producing more novels set within the world they love. If Rowling had announced, “I’m writing five books set in the Wizarding World,” do you think anyone would have been that upset? It’s more Harry Potter books! People would have gone nuts. Let’s assume that Fantastic Beasts has never been announced and that the announcement concerned five new Harry Potter spin-off novels. It’s an entirely new cast of characters, and if these characters don’t connect with audiences, then do we really want to spend four more movies with them?īut set that aside for a moment, and let’s return to the announcement. Fantastic Beasts may be a Harry Potter spin-off, but it’s not Harry Potter. On the one hand, their frustration is understandable. Rowling’s Wizarding World, others became dubious, which is a bit surprising. announced that there would be not three but five films in the Fantastic Beasts series, and while some were excited at the prospect of more stories from J.K. had planned a trilogy of films for the Harry Potter spin-off.
