[Silvermoon]

Fantastic Concept Arts.

absolutely stunning

absolutely stunning

Esspecialy love this concept.

I love such impressive vision of this scene.
Sad they no did it in movie.

 

[Silvermoth]

Finally saw this. My favorite part was when the two guys danced for 1.5 seconds and homophobes around the world collectively soiled themselves and went insane.

I mean, it didn't even involve Luke Evans, Jesus...

I would actually love to see a gay version of beauty and the beast. During production there was a story about one of the composers who wrote such beautiful music for this because he was HIV+ and for him it was a metaphor for being a beast because he thought no one would love him.

If I saw two guys dancing while Emma Thompson sang "tale as old as time..." I would ugly cry everywhere

 

[Dave McFly]

I know I am late to the party but I FINALLY saw it this weekend, wow that is an amazing film I loved every min of it.

 

[Silvermoth]

It's so good. Can't wait for the next Disney adaption

 

[Dave McFly]

the only live action one I have not seen is Cinderella but of all of the ones I DID see BATB is easily my fave of the bunch.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

#10 all time domestically, #17 WW in terms of box office.

 

[Mad Ones]

BatB deserves the success.

 

[Ozbridge]

Let's say BatB will make 495M Dom (or more if it has double feature with GotG next weekend and has 1% drop like the Cinderella + AoU combo)

OS minus Japan is now 616M after 23M weekend so it might make 30M more for 645M

Japan will contribute about 100M

So total is around 495 + 645 + 100 = 1.24B for No 10 WW

If it makes 120M in Japan and holds better in other OS market against GotG then it has a shot for 1.277B, passing Frozen for No 9 WW and No 1 Musical.

Btw BtaB has a really wide appeal OS with 3 markets making 85M+ (UK, China and Japan). And a musical making 85M in China is a big achievement, probably because of Hermione and Downton Abbey was very popular there.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

They will walk it to 500m if they have to. They shouldn't have to, but if they have to they will.

Hot Toys Belle

 

[DarthSkywalker]

At 1.14bil, and now the #9 domestic film of all time at 480m.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Emma's not having much luck with the merchandise. That Hot Toys doesn't do her any justice.

 

[Drizzle]

At least it looks a great deal better than the mongoloid Bieber doll.

 

[Silvermoth]

I was thinking, does this movie have the happiest ending of all time?

Spoiler

I mean not for gaston obviously but screw him.

I mean everyone is happy, everyone is in love. Gay, straight, black and white and then we finish on a dance and a song. Happiest ending ever

 

[Darkness Falls]

i'm sure the three gaston fangirls didn't have a happy ending

 

[Drizzle]

As someone stated earlier in this thread (DS?), it's not a happy ending because Belle took the plague-ridden rose rattle back with her when the Beast took her to her childhood home. The whole castle is doomed.

 

[Silvermoth]

i'm sure the three gaston fangirls didn't have a happy ending

I'm sure they all ended up together. Were they sisters? Idk

 

[sueb1863]

I think they were sisters.

What I want to know is, why does Belle describe it as a "poor provincial town"? It actually looked very prosperous and large to me, they had a massive market that was packed with people who mostly looked pretty well-to-do. I don't think a poor town could support the fancy millinery run by the mother of the three Gaston fangirls.

 

[Lily Adler]

Just poor communication between Ashman and the Animators.

 

[Silvermoon]

If I had to take a guess, looking at the dictionary, "provincial" isn't *just* "of or concerning a province of a country or empire"... there's a 2nd definition which is (emphasis by me) "Of or concerning the regions outside the captial city of a country, especially when regarded as unsophisticated or narrow-minded". So that's the definition of provincial that Belle is probably using. As for "poor" she's probably not meaning in the financial hardship sense but more that their narrow-mindedness makes them of 'low or inferior standard or quality' and/or that Belle pities them because of that narrow-mindedness.

Just my personal take on the meaning of that lyric.

 

[jaymes_e06]

^I was just about to post the same thing in less words.

 

[Silvermoth]

Maybe they mean poor culturally? Like no museums, galleries, theatres etc. idk. I wouldn't want to live there

Just found out that our local drive-in theater is playing a double feature this weekend, with this movie along with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. So looks like we'll be seeing it for the third time!
