Despite three wide releases on the marquee, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast remained the top ticket yesterday earning an estimated $11M, -5% from Wednesday, and taking its week’s take to $228.7M. Even if the movie bottoms out at $71.3M in its second weekend –many expect it to do $80M– Beauty and the Beast will easily cross $300M.

This is doing amazingly well. Can't wait to see it, possibly this Saturday.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is the box office hotstepper with a projected $21M Friday, down 67% but is on course to make $84M this weekend, which if the pic hits that number, will rank as the fourth best second weekend of all-time behind Star Wars Force Awakens ($149.2M), Jurassic World ($106.5M) and Marvel’s The Avengers ($103M). Belle and Beast will stand at $312.6M domestic by EOD on Sunday.

Beauty‘s second weekend hold is projected to be -52% which isn’t that far from Jurassic World (-49%), and also beats the second session holds of such superhero pics as Avengers: Age of Ultron (-59%) and Captain America: Civil War (-60%). As we mentioned, the fanboy pics are more top heavy, with the legacy generation films like Jurassic and Beauty possessing more sustaining power.

The difference between a movie the public really likes:

and a movie they don't:

Quite possible BatB is past the total for BvS before next weekend begins.

3rd Update, Saturday 12AM: If there’s a tale as old as time at the box office this weekend, it’s the non-stop trend that premium brands are much bigger stars than the talent on the poster.

This weekend we have Disney’s Beauty and the Beast grossing a massive $81M in its second run at No. 1 followed by Lionsgate’s Saban’s Power Rangers with an estimated $42.2M.

Granted, Beauty and the Beast literally does have the help of a very popular leading lady in Harry Potter‘s Emma Watson, but Power Rangers arrives with a fresh face cast in the title roles and they’re whipping Sony/Skydance’s Ryan Reynolds-Jake Gyllenhaal sci-fi R-rated pic Life (estimated $12.7M in fourth) and running Warner Bros.’ Dax Shepard-Kristen Bell-Michael Pena R-rated big screen reboot of 1980s TV series CHIPS off the road ($7M in 7th). Before Beauty and the Beast and Power Rangers even hit the screen, they had more street cred with moviegoers given their multi-billion dollar labels: Beauty with its toys, princess dresses and touring Broadway stage show, and Rangers with its actions figures and global TV licensing over the last 24 years.

Even at $81M (-53%), Beauty will still hold the fourth-best second weekend of all-time as we observed earlier, and by Sunday will have amassed an estimated $309.6M.

Rth from BOT (who has been proven more reliable than Deadline) said BatB got 23.8M for Friday.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Deadline is now saying 91m for the weekend. That would be less then a 50% drop. Emma seems to have been the right choice. t:

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

At worst it will drop 52% (which would be a good drop for such a big opener). I think it's headed for 88-90mil though.

 

[Drizzle]

A $90 million second weekend is pretty damn impressive in such a crowded month. I was thinking it would probably pull in closer to $70 million this weekend.

I'm still shocked it's going to do that much in its second weekend but then again...maybe I'm not. I was guessing around $60-$65 million.

I can definitely see this movie closing out at $1.1 billion or more. It's pretty much a foregone conclusion.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

A $90 million second weekend is pretty damn impressive in such a crowded month. I was thinking it would probably pull in closer to $70 million this weekend.

So did I. But looks like WOM and the fact more kids are getting off close to Easter is helping. Could have another two quality weekends after this one. Maybe 500m domestic is on the table. That would be crazy. Also with this number, it will be past BvS before next weekend.

 

[Drizzle]

It also helps that April is pretty much clear except for Fast 8, which I think everyone is overestimating anyway. Something tells me it's not going to be anywhere near as successful as Furious 7.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Nobody's overestimating Fast and Furious 8. Everybody knows it's not going to open as well as the last movie. I have not seen any legitimate predictions saying that is going to do as well to last movie.

It won't be. I see it making significantly less than Furious 7. Probably a WW total somewhere in the neighborhood of $800 million. BATB won't be affected much by it.

I wish I was more excited for the new Fast movie. They grabbed me with 5, but since that one I have become less and less interested.

It will go crazy overseas. But yeah, most predictions domestically are a lot lower.

Other studios did by not releasing anything near it. Fast 8 has April practically all to itself. Not that April is traditionally a big blockbuster month, but they're treating it like it's the 800 pound gorilla without taking into account that the biggest reason Furious 7 made as much as it did was because it was Paul Walker's last role.

 

[Raiden]

It won't. Paul Walker's untimely death helped the box office a lot last time, and this time without Walker I doubt it will reached the height of the previous movie. The premise seems a bit of a stretch as well, making Vin Diesel a villain out of nowhere.

 

[Mysteryman]

The original Fast And the Furious is the only one of those films that I saw in a movie theatre.
Nothing that I have seen indicates that this new one will be any different for me.
I have not even seen Fast 7 yet.

This was very "meh".
