The Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them film is continuing it's worldwide box office domination while Moana is hanging on strong domestically for the weekend of December 11.
"Warner Bros.' 'Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them' is closing in on $700 million globally with North America takings at nearly $200 million and an international gross currently at $480.7 million," according to comScore's Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
"In the second spot, Disney's 'Moana' continues to be a critical favorite and a box office hit with a worldwide gross of $238.8 million while newcomer 'Office Christmas Party' grabs up $33.9 million globally this weekend."
With huge films like Collateral Beauty, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Passengers still to come in the month of December, it's not likely that these films will dominate much longer, however, they have both enjoyed very fruitful runs at the box office making them excessively successful.
