‘Beauty and the Beast’ Bests $1 Billion at Worldwide Box Office
Disney has just added another film to the Billionaires' Club, as their live action remake of "Beauty and the Beast" became the 29th film -- and the 14th from the House of Mouse -- to gross more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office on Thursday.
Overseas, the film has enjoyed strong results from all major markets, including $85 million in China, $72 million in the U.K., and even $14 million in Russia, where the film got a 16+ rating for the gay undertones given to Gaston's buddy, LeFou.
With "Beauty and the Beast" now past the ten-digit milestone, the last five movies to gross a billion worldwide have all come from Disney. The other four films, "Zootopia," "Captain America: Civil War," "Finding Dory," and "Rogue One," have all reached that mark within the last twelve months. The last non-Disney billion-dollar film was Universal/Illumination's "Minions," which reached that mark back in August 2015.
