J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter spinoff "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" dominated the weekend box office with a $75 million debut. Unlike Harry Potter, the fantasy series takes place in 1920s New York City and features wizards and mythical creatures. The studio spent approximately $180 million to produce the movie, bringing back Harry Potter director David Yates and screenplay writer J.K. Rowling.
