It should be noted that $200 million is a global estimate and not a domestic estimate; still, a good chunk of that money will come from Beauty and the Beast moviegoers in the U.S. Per Variety, domestically, the remake of the Disney classic is anticipated to bring in at least $120 million with some outlets guessing closer to the $140 range.
The tally of all of those moviegoers is anticipated to bring in $80 to $110 million.
The film is also opening in a slew of major countries this weekend, including in China, the U.K., Mexico, Brazil, Spain and Russia.
That’s a pretty incredible number, even for a family friendly flick.
