Do you remember what scenes? I was looking but they jazzed up the entire with the hip hop dancing and beat boxing and shyt. I kind of lost track of trying to identify where they were just copying the original because for the most part they told the story but they changed the script and did it their own way. This wasn't the cookie cutter remake imo. They stayed true to the story but they didn't get lazy and just copy the original script, they even had new songs.

'Aladdin' Made $113 Million at the Box Office This Weekend
$113 mil 4 day weekend.
Knew it would make buck. Disney brand + Will star power (they smartly had Will EVERYWHERE the past two weeks) made it obvious it wouldn't flop.
I'm about to see it in a few hours. $5 Tuesdays

Disney has the flip down.
Just make a movie with A-list actors and cheap CGI, build like 4 sets, and make a whole movie around that for 30-40 million. Then the film makes 300 million off star power and nostaligia.

By 3 mil. And for Memorial Day you have to track 4 days instead of 3 because lots of people wait till Monday to see the big release since they're off.$90M opening is okay but for a movie this size...
The one coming out this weekend won't even sniff 90 mil.

Good film. Of course it had no chance being on the OG level but still good stuff.

You don't necessarily have to track 4 days. Monday is inflated but then Tuesday will be muted as Tuesday is usually high due to $5 promotions at most of the big theater chains.
Point is even if we take the $115M number at face value... Beauty and the Beast for example opened to $174M. Aladdin could have been in that ballpark if it was a solid movie but they dropped the ball like I feared they would.

Great movie. Will did indeed kill it. This why you can’t take social media serious in certain instances. All the dumbass uproar when the trailer came out and when they revealed Will’s look. Let the damn movie play out before declaring something a bust.
I don’t see what some of y’all are talking with this feminist stuff. It wasn’t apparent at all IMO. Certainly not as much as the Avengers Endgame feminist scene they shoe horned in (which I too didn’t mind that).
I think Disney might consider a sequel. Especially with

Jafar explicitly saying “I won’t forget this. I’ll get you back.

I fukked with this movie. Great use of colors and the little dance sequence in the middle of the movie was a nice little Bollywood touch. Will def did his thing and this is imo the best life action Disney movie so far.

Define how they dropped the ball.
Beauty and the Beast has always been a bigger franchise than Aladdin.
- Will knocked this out of the park 
- Jasmine and Aladdin were cast well, good chemistry.
- The sets were off the charts. GOT level shyt.
---------------------------------------------------
- Some of the CGI was so bad it was distracting. Genie's face during the blue scenes is a good example. PS3 graphics shyt.
- Jafar was a miscast. Came off more
instead of menacing. 
- The new Jasmine songs were forced garbage.
- The slowed down/sped up Guy Ritchie action scenes just didn't work for me.
- The strong Persian accent on the Sultan was cracking me up the entire movie
- Jasmine and Aladdin were cast well, good chemistry.
- The sets were off the charts. GOT level shyt.

It’s literally apples and oranges if we really gonna go back on what franchise is bigger between the two. If box office is your whole argument, then yes, Aladdin beat B&TB. But if we arguing which franchise sells more merchandise, is revered more, etc than we can go back and forth all day.
