Beauty and the Beast is a 2017 American musical romantic fantasy adventure film directed by Bill Condon and written by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos. A co-production between Walt Disney Pictures and Mandeville Films,[5] the film is a live-action remake of Disney's 1991 animated film of the same name, itself being an adaptation of Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's fairy tale. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Emma Watson and Dan Stevens as the titular characters, with Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Audra McDonald, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ian McKellen and Emma Thompson as the supporting roles. In the film, Belle is taken prisoner by a fearsome Beast in his enchanted castle. There, she learns that the castle's residents were once humans and are cursed into their current states. Belle also tries to evade a narcissistic hunter who is obsessed to have her for himself.

Principal photography began at Shepperton Studios in Surrey, England on May 18, 2015, and ended on August 21. Beauty and the Beast premiered on February 23, 2017, at Spencer House in London and was released in North America on March 17, 2017, in the standard, Disney Digital 3-D, RealD 3D, IMAX and IMAX 3D formats along with Dolby Cinema.[6] The film received generally positive reviews from critics and has grossed $104 million worldwide, against a $160 million production budget.

Plot

In mid-1700s France, an enchantress disguised as a beggar arrives at a debutante ball and offers an enchanted rose to a young prince in exchange for shelter from a storm, but he refuses. For his arrogance, the enchantress transforms him into a beast and the servants into inanimate objects, as well as erasing the castle's memories from its inhabitants. She gives him a magic mirror that enables him to view faraway events, along with the rose. To break the spell, the prince must learn to love another and earn her love in return before the rose's last petal falls. If he fails, he will remain a beast forever.

Years later, in the village of Villeneuve, a young bookworm inventor named Belle is bored of her village life and seeks excitement. Belle lives with her father Maurice, an inventor and tinkerer. Maurice and his horse Philippe get lost in the forest while traveling to a market and are attacked by wolves, fleeing to the Beast's castle. Phillipe abandons Maurice when the Beast discovers him taking a rose from the castle's garden and detains him. When Phillipe leads Belle to the castle, she offers to take her father's place; the Beast accepts and sets her father free. Belle is released by the castle's butler, Lumiere, who was turned into a candelabra as a result of the enchantress's curse. Belle also meets the other castle residents that were transformed by the curse: the castle's majordomo, Cogsworth, a mantel clock; Mrs. Potts, a teapot; her son Chip, a teacup; court composer, Maestro Cadenza, a harpsichord; Maestro Cadenza's wife and opera singer, Madame de Garderobe, a wardrobe; and the maid and Lumiere's girlfriend Plumette, a feather duster.

After the staff offer Belle a meal, she wanders into the forbidden West Wing. When the Beast frightens Belle into fleeing into the woods, she encounters a pack of wolves. The Beast rescues Belle but he gets injured in the process. He begins to develop feelings for her while she nurses his wounds and the servants reveal to her that they believe she may be the one who can love the Beast and break the curse. The Beast allows Belle access to his library and the two begin to develop feelings for each other. While the Beast has fallen in love with Belle, Belle is uncertain of her feelings due to her imprisonment.

Meanwhile, Maurice returns to Villeneuve but is unable to convince the others to rescue Belle. Gaston, a hunter and former soldier who is trying to woo Belle, agrees to help to earn Maurice's approval, but when Maurice refuses Gaston leaves him in the forest to die. Maurice is rescued by a villager named Agathe and he returns to the village accusing Gaston of attempting to kill him. Gaston convinces the villagers to send Maurice to the town's insane asylum. Using the magic mirror, Belle sees Maurice being captured and the Beast allows her to leave to save him, letting her keep the mirror to see him again. At Villeneuve, Belle rescues Maurice and proves his sanity by showing the Beast with the magic mirror. Realizing that Belle loves the Beast, Gaston convinces the villagers that the Beast is a man-eating monster and leads them to the castle to kill him. However, Maurice and Belle escapes from confinement.

While the villagers are fended off by the servants, Gaston fights the Beast. The Beast initially is too depressed to fight back, but perks up after seeing Belle return to the castle. He corners Gaston and spares his life; however, Gaston fatally shoots the Beast in the back before the castle crumbles beneath his feet and he falls to his death. The Beast dies as the last rose petal falls while the servants lost their anthropomorphic state and Belle professes her love to him. While watching the scene, Agathe reveals herself as the enchantress and undoes the curse, returning the Beast and his servants to their true forms alive and restoring the castle to its former glory. The villagers return to the castle with their memories of it restored, and the Beast and Belle host a ball for the kingdom at which they dance.

Production

Development

Disney had begun work on a film adaptation of the 1994 Broadway musical.[18][19] However, in a 2011 interview, composer Alan Menken stated the planned film version of the Beauty and the Beast stage musical "was canned".[20]

By April 2014, Walt Disney Pictures had already begun developing a new live-action version and remake of Beauty and the Beast after making other live-action fantasy films such as Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent, Cinderella and The Jungle Book.[21] In June 2014, Bill Condon was signed on to direct the film, with a script by Evan Spiliotopoulos.[22] Later in September of that same year, Stephen Chbosky was hired to re-write the script.[23]

Before Condon was hired to direct the film, Disney initially approached to remake the film in a more radical way almost akin to Universal Studios' Snow White and the Huntsman (2012). Condon said in an interview, "after Frozen opened, the studio saw that there was this big international audience for an old-school-musical approach. But initially they said, 'We're interested in a musical to a degree, but only half full of songs.' My interest was taking that film and doing it in this new medium — live-action — as a full-on musical movie. So I backed out for a minute, and they came back and said, 'No, no, no, we get it, let's pursue it that way.'"[3]

Casting

In January 2015, Emma Watson announced that she would be starring as Belle, the female lead.[24] Two months later, in March, Luke Evans and Dan Stevens were revealed to be in talks to play Gaston and the Beast respectively,[25][26] and Watson confirmed their casting the following day through tweets.[7][27] The rest of the principal cast – Josh Gad, Emma Thompson, Kevin Kline, Audra McDonald, Ian McKellen, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ewan McGregor and Stanley Tucci – were announced between March and April of that same year to play LeFou, Mrs. Potts, Maurice, Madame de Garderobe, Cogsworth, Plumette, Lumière and Cadenza, respectively.[10][9][14][13][15][11][12][28]

Susan Egan, who originated the role of Belle on Broadway, commented on the casting of Watson as "perfect".[29] Paige O'Hara, who voiced Belle in the original animated film and its sequels, offered to help Watson with her singing lessons.[30]

According sources obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Emma Watson was paid a reported $3 million upfront and that her final pay might rise to $15 million if the film generates an income similar to Maleficent's $759 million worldwide gross.[31]

Filming

Principal photography on the film began at Shepperton Studios in Surrey, England, on May 18, 2015.[9][32][33] Filming with the principal actors concluded on August 21.[34][35] Six days later, co-producer Jack Morrissey confirmed that the film had officially wrapped production.[36]

Music

Main article: Beauty and the Beast (2017 soundtrack)

When released in 1991, Beauty and the Beast marked a turning point for Walt Disney Pictures by appealing to millions of fans with its Oscar-winning musical score by lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken. In Bill Condon's opinion, that original score was the key reason he agreed to direct a live-action version of the movie. "That score had more to reveal", he says, "You look at the songs and there's not a clunker in the group. In fact, Frank Rich described it as the best Broadway musical of 1991. The animated version was already darker and more modern than the previous Disney fairytales. Take that vision, put it into a new medium, make it a radical reinvention, something not just for the stage because it's not just being literal, now other elements come into play. It's not just having real actors do it".[37]

Condon initially prepared on only drawing inspiration from the original film, but he also planned to include most of the Menken/Ashman songs from the Broadway musical, with the intention of making the film as a "straight-forward, live-action, large-budget movie musical".[38] Menken returned to score the film's music, which features songs from the original film by him and Howard Ashman, plus new material written by Menken and Tim Rice.[39] Menken said the film will not include songs that were written for the Broadway musical and instead, created four new songs.[40] However, an instrumental version of the song "Home", which was written for the musical, is used during the scene where Belle first enters her room in the castle.[41]

On January 19, 2017, it was confirmed by both Disney and Celine Dion - singer of the original 1991 Beauty and the Beast duet song, with singer Peabo Bryson - that Dion would be performing one of the new original songs "How Does a Moment Last Forever" to play over the end titles. Also, Josh Groban was announced to be performing the new original song "Evermore" on January 26, 2017.[42][43][44][45]

The 2017 film features a remake of the 1991 original song Beauty and the Beast recorded as a duet by Ariana Grande and John Legend.[46][47] Grande and Legend's updated version of the Beauty and the Beast title song is faithful to the original, Grammy-winning duet, performed by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson for the 1991 Disney classic.[48]

Emma Thompson also performed a rendition of Beauty and the Beast, which was performed by Angela Lansbury in the original 1991 animated film release.[49]

On March 5, 2017, Disney debuted the music video for Ariana Grande and John Legend's interpretation of the new Beauty and the Beast song on Disney's Freeform television network, and it has since attained over 20 million video views on the Vevo video hosting service.[49]

Release

On March 16, 2015, Disney announced the film would be released in 3D on March 17, 2017.[9] The first official presentation of the film took place at Disney's three-day D23 Expo in August 2015.[50]

The world premiere of Beauty and the Beast took place on February 23, 2017, at Spencer House in London, England;[51] and the film later premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California, on March 2, 2017. The stream was broadcast onto YouTube.

Marketing

Disney spent around $140 million for marketing the film worldwide.[52] Following an announcement on May 22, 2016,[53] Disney premiered the first official teaser trailer on Good Morning America the next day.[54] In its first 24 hours, the teaser trailer reached 91.8 million views, which topped the number of views seen in that amount of time in history, including for the teasers for other films distributed by Disney such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Age of Ultron.[55] The first official teaser poster was released on July 7, 2016.[56] On November 2, 2016, Entertainment Weekly debuted the first official image on the cover of their magazine for the week along with nine new photos as well.[57][58] One week later, Emma Watson and Disney debuted a new poster for the film.[59] On November 14, 2016, the first theatrical trailer was released again on Good Morning America.[60] The trailer reached 127.6 million views in its first 24 hours, setting a new record as the trailer with the most views in one day, beating out Fifty Shades Darker.[61] This record has since been broken again by The Fate of the Furious.[62] A TV spot with Watson singing was shown during the 74th Golden Globe Awards.[63] Disney released the final trailer on January 30, 2017.[64]

Reception

Box office

As of March 17, 2017, Beauty and the Beast has grossed $63.8 million in the United States and Canada and $40.3 million in other territories for a worldwide gross of $104.1 million.[4] With a production budget of $160 million it is the most expensive musical ever made; only Hello, Dolly! (1969) with a budget of $25 million ($165 million in 2016 dollars) cost more to produce with inflation.[65]

North America

In the United States and Canada, Beauty and the Beast immediately topped Fandango's pre-sales and became the fastest-selling family film in the company's history, topping the studio's own animated film Finding Dory released the previous year. Early tracking had the film grossing around $100 million in its opening weekend, with some publications predicting it could reach $130 million.[66][67][68] By the time the film's release was 10 days away, analysts raised projections to as high as $150 million.[69][70] It earned $16.3 milion from Thursday previews night, marking the biggest of 2017 (breaking Logan's record), the biggest ever for a Disney live-action film (breaking Maleficent's record), the second biggest ever for both a G or PG-rated film (behind the sixth Harry Potter film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which also starred Watson), and the third biggest ever in the month of March (behind Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and The Hunger Games).[71] An estimated 41% of the gross came from IMAX, 3D and premium large format screenings which began at 6 pm, while the rest – 59% – came from regular 2D shows which began at 7 pm.[72] The numbers were considered more impressive given that the film played during a school week.[73]

On its opening day, the film made $63.8 million from 4,210 theaters across 9,200 screens, marking the third biggest in the month of March, trailing behind Batman v Superman ($81.5 million) and The Hunger Games ($67 million).[74][75] It was also the biggest opening day ever for a film that wasn't PG-13, displacing the $58 million opening Wednesday of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Its opening day alone (which includes Thursday's previews) almost matched the entire opening weekend of previous Disney live-action films, Maleficent ($69 million) and Cinderella ($67 million).[76]

Outside North America

Internationally, the film opened Thursday, March 16, 2017, in 28 markets, where it debuted at No. 1 in all markets, save Slovakia, where it was the top non-local film. It scored the biggest opening day of the year in Hong Kong and the Philippines, the biggest March Thursday in Italy ($1 million, also the biggest Disney Thursday debut), the biggest March opening day in Austria, and the second biggest in Germany ($1.1 million), Disney's biggest March in Denmark, the biggest Disney live-action debut in China ($12.6 million), the UK ($6.2 million), Mexico ($2.4 million) and Brazil ($1.8 million) and the third biggest in South Korea with $1.2 million, behind only Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.[77] In India, despite facing heavy competitions from four new Hindi releases, two Tamils films and a Punjabi release, the film managed to take an occupancy of 15% on its opening day, an impressive feat despite such tremendous competitions.[78][79][80] It earned around ₹1.5 crore (US$180,000) nett on its opening day from an estimated 600 screens which is more than the three Hindi releases – Machine, Trapped and Aa Gaya Hero – combined.[81]

In China, expectations were high for the film. The release date was announced on January 24, giving Disney and local distributor China Film Group Corporation ample time – around two months – to market the film nationwide. The release date was strategically chosen to coincide with the White Day. Preliminary reports suggested that it could open to $40–60 million in its opening weekend. Largely driven by young women, its opening day pre-sales outpaced that of The Jungle Book.[82] The film grossed an estimated $11.8 million on its opening day (Friday) by 9:00 p.m., representing 70% of the total receipts. Including previews, it made a total of $14.5 million from 100,000 screenings, which is 43% of all screenings in the country.[83] It has so far grossed around $30 million there in two days.[77]

Critical response

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 71% based on 203 reviews, with an average rating of 6.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "With an enchanting cast, beautifully crafted songs, and a painterly eye for detail, Beauty and the Beast offers a faithful yet fresh retelling that honors its beloved source material."[84] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 65 out of 100, based on 46 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[85] In CinemaScore, audiences gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[86]

Owen Gleiberman of Variety, in his positive review of the film, wrote: "It's a lovingly crafted movie, and in many ways a good one, but before that it's an enraptured piece of old-is-new nostalgia."[87] A. O. Scott of The New York Times praised the performances of both Watson and Stevens. Of the film as a whole he wrote: "It looks good, moves gracefully and leaves a clean and invigorating aftertaste. I almost didn't recognize the flavor: I think the name for it is joy."[88] Mike Ryan of Uproxx praised the cast, production design and songs while noting the film doesn't try anything different, saying, "There’s certainly nothing that new about this version of Beauty and the Beast (well, except it isn’t a cartoon anymore), but it’s a good recreation of a classic animated film that should leave most die-hards satisfied."[89]

Conversely, Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune said the adaption got lost in translation, writing, "The movie takes our knowledge and our interest in the material for granted. It zips from one number to another, throwing a ton of frenetically edited eye candy at the screen, charmlessly."[90]

Controversy

In the film, LeFou was said to be given a gay moment by director Bill Condon when he winks during the song "Gaston". This comes during the lyric "You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on!" The wink that LeFou gives during this lyric leads to innuendo of a team being sexual orientation. In an interview with Vulture.com, Condon stated, "Can I just say, I’m sort of sick of this. Because you’ve seen the movie — it’s such a teeny thing, and it’s been overblown." Condon also added that Beauty and the Beast features much more diversity than just the highly-talked about LeFou: “That was so important. We have interracial couples — this is a celebration of everybody’s individuality, and that’s what’s exciting about it.”[91]

The Russian government considered banning the film in the country,[92] but they instead decided that no one under the age of 16 would be admitted to see it in theaters without accompanying adults.[93] Additionally, a theater in Henagar, Alabama will not screen the film because of the subplot.[94] In Malaysia, the Film Censorship Board insisted the "gay moment" scene be cut, prompting an indefinite postponement of its release by Disney, followed by their decision to withdraw it completely if it could not be released uncensored.[95][96][97] The studio moved the release date to March 30, to allow more time for Malaysia's censor board to make a decision on whether or not to release the film without changes.[98]

There were also a number of boycotts against the film. A call to boycott on LifePetitions received over 129,000 signatures,[99] while The American Family Association featured a petition to boycott with over 50,000 signers.[100]
