Just another candle lit in the candelabra that is this film’s prospects, and the winning doesn’t look like it’ll stop any time soon.
It’s not that far off of a goal, especially considering the film took in around $18 million on a Tuesday in March.
In fact, we’d even go as far as saying that this new benchmark will be hit by the weekend at the latest, if current trends continue.
Taking the total worldwide grosses for the original recipe of Beauty and The Beast, and assuming it represents the grosses in 2012 currency, we can see that about $451 million is the new high water mark for the 2017 version of the film to best.
