After much thought, I'm out. Think it will edge out BvS at best. Club got too big for my predictive prowess.

Fandango reports this is already ahead of Finding Dory.

That's a lot higher than Maleficent and Cinderella, both of which had less of a rehash feeling to it than this. That, and those two films along with Jungle Book were remakes of much older Disney films than this.

Re: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST *$180 MILLION OW* Club
Of course it did, 5 year olds don't use fandango. They beg their parents to take them, and they don't use it either because kids are unreliable to plan that far ahead for

Re: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST *$180 MILLION OW* Club
We probably have to consider the fact that the original Beauty and the Beast only came out in 1992, which means that some here (including the thread starter) are emotionally attached to the film and are predicting accordingly because they want the film to reach those heights. Think of it like when Excel predicts $1b opening day for every DC movie...

It's because we're a hugely nostalgic society and this appeals heavily to women, who are constantly underestimated when it comes to box office punch.

Re: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST *$180 MILLION OW* Club
To the 25-35 crowd:
A nostalgia callback to our much more innocent, carefree childhood based upon the noblest of the ideals. With Trump and all the negativity everywhere (seemingly) in the world at the moment, this is the movie so many of them need right now. Empathy, compassion, everything the government seems to be lacking...
No idea where this baby lands, but you better believe this is going to the highest of high end of whatever its potential is. Wouldn't surprise me if 250m falls on opening weekend TBH.
Not since Spider-man slung in to save NYC in the post 9/11 world has a film felt more needed for escapism and a reminder of what mankind is capable of.
What does The Hunger Games inflate to with 3D? Add 10%.

Re: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST *$180 MILLION OW* Club
Amazing presales for this film so far. Definitely this is happening. Could even crack 200m OW at this rate !!!

Re: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST *$180 MILLION OW* Club
I really don't get this. I'm sure it will but, literally every other Disney live action at least tried something different. This really seems like the Psycho remake. Everyone is going to be disappointed by this film. The original is a near perfect film, and all they are doing is the exact same film with worse actors and pretty bad effects. Nostalgia can only take you so far, not 180 far. OUT. I don't see it beating The Jungle Book at this point.

Re: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST *$180 MILLION OW* Club
I feel as though this may be the most anticipated movie of the year for a lot of people, even over SW which will make more but doesn't have the years of waiting factor. Nostalgia sells when the film is quality, and I would not be shocked by a Jurassic World type run here.
