Beauty and the Beast’s global box office tally stands at Rs 4500 crore in two weeks
Emma Watson and Disney’s live action remake of Beauty and the Beast continued its global dominance at the box office in its second week. It’s worldwide total stands at almost $700 million (Rs 4500 crore).
Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast performed even better than expected in its second weekend in theatres, adding $90.4 million to its North American grosses, which now tally at $319 million.
In addition to its domestic performance, Beauty and the Beast added an estimated $119.2 million overseas bringing its worldwide total to $690.3 million. This is the fourth consecutive Walt Disney Studios release to pass the $600M mark globally, following Doctor Strange, Moana and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The film’s performance helps push Disney’s global total for the year to $1.3 billion, reports Box Office Mojo.
Beauty and the Beast easily topped the crop of newcomers - including Lionsgate’s Power Rangers, which got off to a solid start with $40 million - and a few less successful debuts as well.
The sci-fi thriller Life, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds opened in fourth place, behind Kong: Skull Island, with a middling $12.5 million, while the big screen take on CHIPS only managed to bring in $7.7 million in its first weekend in theatres for a seventh place start.
