MANILA, April 12, 2017 – The retelling of a
classic fairytale has now rewritten the record books! Disney's live-action “Beauty and the Beast” is
now officially the biggest-grossing movie ever released in the
Philippines.
The romantic, fantasy musical posted a
cumulative gross of a jolting P667.46-M yesterday, its 27th day of
release, and effectively overtaking Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” as
the No.1 movie of all-time in the country.
This was announced today by a spokesman of
Walt Disney Studios Philippines which distributed the film. (It’s worth noting that the top five films in
the all-time rankings were all distributed by Disney. In third to fifth places are Marvel’s “Avengers:
Age of Ultron,” Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” and Marvel’s “The Avengers.”)
Disney owns Walt Disney Pictures, Disney-Pixar,
Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm (Star Wars films).
