Fantastic Beasts 2 collected $191 million from 79 foreign markets. Coupled with domestic grosses, it's earned a quarter billion in its first weekend. Not bad, but critics don't love it the way they loved the first installment.

Meantime, The Grinch has now grossed 425.2 million abroad and is rolling out slowly. To date, its worldwide total is $152,163,410.

On Wednesday next, Wreck-It Ralph 2 makes its debut.
