Great news for fans of
Beauty and the Beast! Tickets went on sale starting on Monday night after the release of the latest trailer and now according to reports, early tracking seems to indicate that the Disney adaptation is tracking very similar to
Marvel's The Avengers. This Marvel flick opened to a massive $207.4 million opening weekend. So that means that
Disney's Beauty and the Beast could very well open to a similar opening weekend box office gross.
According to Fandango, the trailers for this movie have created lots of buzz among filmgoers of all ages. Let's compare this to another recent family-friendly blockbuster.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast has easily beaten Pixar's
Finding Dory presales already. That animated movie later went on to make $486 million at the domestic box office. The last live-action Disney flick was
The Jungle Book and that went on to make close to $400 million domestic and close to $1 billion worldwide, and that was without all the buzz and trailer records of Beauty and the Beast. The Emma Watson-led film has already sold out hundreds of movie showtimes throughout the nation according to Fandango.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast opens nationwide on March 17 and stars
Harry Potter actress Emma Watson and
Legion actor Dan Stevens.
