February and March seem to be quieter than last year when Dune 2, Kung Fu Panda 4, and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire were released in the cinemas. This year, in March, Snow White is the only big movie to arrive in theatres, but it might not hold a candle to the films that have registered the biggest opening weekends, and the #1 spot is held by another Disney live-action film, Beauty and the Beast. It is yet to be bested by any film, not even an MCU flick; Captain Marvel could surpass Emma Watson’s movie. Scroll below for the deets.
The live-action/animated remake of the Disney film was released in 2017. It featured an ensemble cast comprising Emma, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Audra McDonald, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ian McKellen and Emma Thompson. It was one of the highest-grossing films of that year and the second highest-grossing readaptation to date.
Beauty and the Beast is the highest-grossing Live-Action Musical Ever. It is the second highest-grossing Disney live-action Adaptation and also the fastest live-action film to reach $1 billion at the time. It collected $174.8 million during its opening weekend in the United States, making it the biggest March opening ever. It is followed by Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck starrer Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
