Rank 6: David Yates
- Worldwide box office revenue: 5.408 billion €
- Number of films: 9
- Most successful film: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (1.154 billion €)
The great financial success of David Yates is largely based on the Harry Potter franchise. Since directing the fifth part, Order of the Phoenix, he has returned for the sequels and then for the Fantastic Beasts series.
Of course, the Potter universe is immensely successful, which is why the ranking is not surprising. Yates has proven to be a safe bet when it comes to adapting the last three books of the main series. They remained stylistically very similar, while films 1-2, as well as 3 and 4 had different directors, slightly differing from each other. We have ranked all the films on MeinMMO.
