Nice. I mean, this looks like a very literal adaptation of the animated film in it's set design. It looks like the cartoon come to life.
So, what are we thinking box office for this? This is going to make a boat-load of cash and start Disney off for another huge year.
The Cinderella movie made over $500 million and was well received. The Jungle Book got rave reviews and made almost $1 billion (!). Those movies didn't really have any big star power to draw in audiences, either. Beauty is already a beloved classic and has Emma Watson in it, so I'm thinking this movie should clear $1.5 billion easy, which would put it above Furious 7 and the Avengers. It may even top Jurassic World's $1.67 billion and land it at #4 behind the Force Awakens. Is $2 billion even possible?
Oh, and it's nice to see Kevin Kline in another movie. That was cool.
[edit] Holy sh*t! I just looked up the March schedule on imdb:
March 3 - Logan
March 10 - Kong: Skull Island
March 17 - Beauty and the Beast
March 24 - Power Rangers AND Guy Ritchie's King Arthur movie
March 31 - Ghost in the Shell
What the hell????? March 2017 looks better than any single month we had this summer of 2016!
