Which Box Office Records Did 'Beauty and the Beast' Smash?

Disney's money-counter may be the hardest-working machine in human history. On its opening weekend, Beauty and the Beast added another $170 million to the company's coffers. That marks the new biggest domestic March opening of all time, topping last year's $166 million earned by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It's also the biggest PG-rated opener ever, way over last summer's $135 million for Finding Dory.

Box Office Mojo identifies Beauty and the Beast's live-action remake success as the seventh-biggest American opening weekend ever; the only other film in the Top 7 that isn't from Disney is Jurassic World. Whoa. (Four are Marvel; one is Star Wars.)
