We here at Comicbook.com have a growing interest in how you, the readers are spending your time and money when it comes to the big new movies releasing each week.
With our new Anticipation Rankings, we can get a sense of how a movie will do with fans before its release date arrives; however, the real measure is what happens when the film is in theaters! With our Big Movie Battle, we will measure how fans are reacting to each new release – and how those movies compare to one another!

This week we Disney about to own the box office again with debut of its live-action Beauty and the Beast. However, the battle for second place at the box office is going to be interesting, as Hugh Jackman’s final Wolverine movie, Logan goes into its third week hoping to beat current box office champ, Kong: Skull Island, in the longevity race for second place.
As you can see below:
Beauty and the Beast was a Disney animated classic, and the live-action version of the film arrives with worldwide fan anticipation behind it.
The film currently holds a 3.31/5 anticipation rating in our anticipation rankings database; it’s a sign that, while there is certainly a built-in audience for a Disney live-action film, maybe there isn’t as much excitement for Beauty and the Beast as some may think (at least not with our reader base).
While there is little doubt that Beauty and the Beast is going to have a big weekend at the top of the box office, it will be interesting to see how it endures over multiple weeks – and whether or not Disney fans react well to the live-action version of the classic film.
