While the domestic box office is showing signs of life after an age of COVID lockdowns, it seems that not every film franchise is being buoyed by a return of theatergoers. “,” Warner Bros.’ latest entry in its prequel series to the “Harry Potter” franchise, is off to a somewhat rocky start, projected to land a record low debut for a Wizarding World film.
“Secrets of Dumbledore” continues a downward trend for the “Fantastic Beasts” series. The first 2016 entry drew a domestic opening of $74 million, while its 2018 sequel, “The Crimes of Grindelwald,” fell to a $62 million debut.

Wahlberg produces and stars in “Father Stu,” playing a boxer who turns to the church to become a priest after suffering a muscle disease. The R-rated drama also stars Jacki Weaver and Mel Gibson in supporting roles.
