Total Lifetime Grosses

That's a Top 5 All Time Memorial Day Opening (2nd time Will Topped Memorial Day Weekend - MIB3 12'). This is also Will Smith 18th #1 Movie at the Box Office and his 15th 100 Million Blockbuster at the Domestic Box Office and 16th 200 Million + Global Blockbuster. Again Memorial day is spread out over 4 days so people don't watch movies like a 3-day weekend but these numbers are way past projections. Because of all the Hate, Some Box Office Analyst had it as low as 75-80 Million for the 4-day. The number kept jumping up as Word of mouth started spreading. By the end of the Memorial day the movie finished well past projections and people were bringing their whole family to the theater to see it. I was a kid when the original came out, now my Generation brought our kids so that's why the audience was so big. Now they are saying it's Tuesday Number is over 12 Million so it's already holding pretty good.
"Godzilla" will make dough but isn't targeting the same audience as "Aladdin" attracts families and had a strong female audience as well. It could take some teens away but it should to do good this weekend too. People like to talk about Will's decision making over the years. Well he turned down "Dumbo" to do this. People were assuming there would be no way Will could bring anything to the character after Robin's performance. They were wrong. If Will's Genie wasn't good, the movie just doesn't work as well. Will helped the other two shine by having a good performance. So the level of difficulty of bringing the Genie back with Robin gone and doing all non-white leads I'd say this was much harder to pull off then "Beauty and the Beast". "Jungle Book" and "Lion King" are mostly CGI animals.

Will watch again

Just saw it. It was good. I liked it. Not a great movie but they did a good job. Will did a real good job even tho it felt like they tried to hard. Of course it's difficult to match Robin Williams persona but he was good enough. Acting was real good. Give it 4 stars. Would've been 3.75 but the girl who played Jasmine got them the other .25.

She was nice tho. I think Naomi Scott fine as hell but Nasim Pedrad was outshining her on some scenes just cuz her sex appealed oozed out more than Naomi’s.The dance scene in this movie is hilarious. How thirsty Jasmine's handmaiden is was

Aladdin nearly beat Godzilla in its second week. Still perplexing that some in here thought Det. Pikachu and Godzilla would do better numbers.

HIGHLY recommend. So happy to see Will Smith killing it again in his element.

I remember seeing the trailer for this. Thought it would be ass. Was wrong af though
. Was a great experience. Will killed it, Aladdin grew on me as the movie went on, Jasmine had a good singing voice, Jafar was a good villian. I liked the CGI, not sure why critics panned them
. Great movie overall, 7.5-8/10.

Brehs this movie blew me away. Besides the Genie, Aladdin was the best actor.
Will blew the genie role out of the water. His songs and comedic performance were incredible. His performance as the genie is equal to or greater than RW.
Everyone in this movie killed it even Jafar. I also think the songs in this movie are actually better than the original too.
This is by far the best live action remake.

This movie was really good. My only complaint was the new songs they put in were absolute trash

The new songs were clearly "girl power" songs. I don't care about the content of the song but they were trash. The original songs moved the story forward. The new songs were to "make a statement" and it was jarring. Thought I was watching a fukking evanescence video at the end. Other than that this was fire. Will was way better than I expected, Jafar as well. Jasmine one of the finest girls I've seen. Great special effects for the genie
