Rating: Total Gross: $4.176 billion

Most Successful Movie: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 ($1.342 billion)

Whether Yates is a talented director, or just got lucky taking the reins of an already proven franchise is definitely up for debate, although with him returning to Potter with Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, don't expect the money to stop flowing.
