Beauty and the Beast has now
passed the $400 million mark worldwide, an impressive feat which you have to
believe barely scratches the surface of just how huge the live-action Disney
adaptation will ultimately be. With numbers like that, you’d think the studio
would be talking about a sequel, but apparently, that isn’t on the cards.
President of Production Sean Bailey has revealed in a new
interview that they’re at least willing to consider possible spinoff and prequel scenarios. What form those could take
is hard to say. The Beast was alone for many years before meeting Belle, so
exploring that period of his life is definitely a possibility, while something
could probably be done with Lumière and Cogsworth as well, given how
popular they’ve always been and once again are coming out of this version of Beauty and the Beast.
Interestingly, it’s also mentioned in the
interview that Disney has no plans to adapt any animated property past 2000, as
they’re going for the nostalgia factor, while Pixar properties are also being
left alone. There are a lot of different live-action adaptations in the works
and many more the studio can turn to in the future, so it’s not like they’re
going to run out, but Beauty and the Beast‘s
future is currently unclear.
