Disney (via IGN) has shared another sneak peek from
Aladdin, and this time we get a fairly lengthy preview of one of the movie's musical sequences (no, not
that one), as The Genie (Will Smith) introduces his young master (Mena Massoud) as "Prince Ali" while a seemingly unimpressed Jasmine (Naomi Scott) looks on.
After the mixed (we're being nice) response to our first official look at the Genie in his blue form, the
recent full trailer for the movie seemed to get at least a few fans on board by showcasing a fully realized take on the character. It also revisited several beats and locations from the animated classic, and gave us a brief blast of Jasmine and Aladdin singing "A Whole New World."
Will that be enough to propel to movie to success? Well, according to
early box office estimates Aladdin is currently tracking towards an $80 million-plus debut over the long Memorial Day weekend, which is by no means unimpressive, but would be quite a bit lower than the opening weekend hauls of both
The Jungle Book and
Beauty and the Beast.
Check out the new clip below along with the recently released character posters, and let us know what you think. Will you be seeing
Aladdin in theaters?
A thrilling and vibrant live-action adaptation of Disney’s animated classic, “Aladdin” is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future.
