Counting the $8.75 million it pocketed last night at the North American box office, Warner Bros' first Harry Potter spinoff film, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, is on track for a $30 million opening day. It's also on track for a mid-$70 million opening weekend, which would have it competing with 2009's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($77.8M) and 2007's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ($77.1M) for the franchise's lowest opening weekend.

On a positive note: Those that watched it last night gave it a positive 90% score and 75% of them said they would recommend the film to their family and friends.

If you're still on the fence about going to see Fantastic Beasts this weekend, perhaps, these three television spots (videos above) will persuade you to hop in your car and head toward your local theater.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an all-new adventure returning us to the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) stars in the central role of wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander, under the direction of David Yates, who helmed the last four Harry Potter blockbusters. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.

Warner Bros. Pictures has slated Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for worldwide release in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX on November 18, 2016.
