TOMATOMETER 77% All Critics | Top Critics Average Rating: 6.61/10 Reviews Count: 21 Fresh: 16 Rotten: 5

The highest Beauty and the Beast ever had at ANY POINT was a 79%, and that was 2 weeks before release. Seeing this at 87% right now 2 days before release is shocking... to say the least. Edit: I just refreshed it and its down to a 77% (6.61 average)... still though...

https://www.chroniquedisney.fr/film/2019-aladdin.htm Here's the first review I can find (it's in french).

I gotta admit, I like the songs here a lot more than I did in BatB. I'm liking Prince Ali a lot more in full than I did in that clip, but it still isn't one of my favourites. That said I'm loving what they're doing with every other song.

Soundtrack is up on YouTube for anyone who's interested.

Even if this tanks with critics (which I don't think it will), the audience reception is likely gonna be pretty positive (or at least solid enough), so I don't think legs will be too shabby either even with the upcoming competition.

What you're describing sounds more like Fantastic Beasts 1. That was at 100% 5 days before release, 85% the day before release and didn't dip to 75% until about two weeks after it opened. At no point was BatB ever that high. It started at a 60%, tumbled down to 40%, then crept its way back up until it peaked at 79% (all this happened in the first day of the embargo lifting). Afterwards it started to shift slowly towards the high 60/low 70 range that it's at now, and it was at 68% on opening day.

This. 1.25x should have been the normal speed. That said, I still find the musical sequence to be stiff, especially when compared to the original. I hope this doesn't permeate for the rest of the film, but then again, it did with Beauty and the Beast, so hopes aren't too high right now.

Given the track record for their November animatons, we'll get a trailer before Toy Story 4, and then a final trailer in September.

This looks beautiful. Really looking forward to seeing this. Looks like the November opening weekend and Thanksgiving frame records are probably in jeopardy.

Hasn't this already passed the certificaton for Certified Fresh? 75%+ with more than 80 reviews, over 5 top critics ratings... Also, that's a pretty solid average rating (currently at 7.6)... it's higher than Infinity War (84%, 7.5), Ant-Man and the Wasp (88%, 7.0), and Ralph Breaks the Internet (88%, 7.3).

I didn't think the story here was quite as good as the first film, but this one hit me the hardest out of any movie I've seen in recent memory. I was a bawling mess by the end of it. Otherwise, a great time at the theatre (even if it is one of WDAS's weaker offerings in a while), and I appreciate them trying out something different with this sequel, and it makes me excited to see what's in store for Frozen 2, or a Disney Princess team-up. A-

Frozen 2 is opening wide the weekend before Thanksgiving next year, so it'll probably end up being 15 #1 Thanksgiving openings. And if Ralph 2 manages the record for a Thanksgiving opening, then it'll hold on to that record for at least 2 more years.

Fantastic for Ralph and Creed, I think we're looking a $64M 3-day for Ralph and $40M for Creed at the moment

Yeah, they gave one last year and the year before https://deadline.com/2017/11/coco-justice-league-wonder-thanksgiving-box-office-1202213755/ https://deadline.com/2016/11/moana-fantastic-beasts-tuesday-box-office-thanksgiving-1201859220/ (you have to scroll down quite a bit to find the mid-day Wednesday estimates for these though)

Certified Fresh now at 92%, 7.3/10 average score. Currently at 73 on Metacritic. Another critical win for WDAS (even if that average score is a tad lower than most other recent WDAS flicks), and interestingly the only #1 release this month to be Certified Fresh. Looking forward to seeing this one soon. Edit: Also, if you added the RT scores for this and The Emoji Movie, you'd get 100% and 10/10

I'm gonna assume this goes up from tracking and does $55M for the 3-day and $80M for the 5-day.

70 on Metacritic as of now. Started at a 66 https://www.metacritic.com/movie/ralph-breaks-the-internet?ref=hp

This is really vague for a teaser from Disney, which is saying something. I hope the final product ends up being a real winner. Pixar's sequels have underwhelmed for the most part, but they haven't botched Toy Story... at least not yet, and hopefully not ever.

Ralph Breaks The Internet 80/100 Critics Choice just went up to 80. Also the review embargo lifts on November 14, 12PM EST, which is actually closer to release than the last 3 Thanksgiving releases from Disney (The Good Dinosaur was 12 days before release, Moana was 16 days before release, and Coco was 33 days before release, though Coco isn't exactly as fair of a comparison).

I wonder if this means another trailer is coming next week...

I think Coco was also originally tracking at around $65M as well when it was a couple out from release, so we're probably in for some solid numbers for Ralph. For reference, by the week of release: Coco was tracking at $55-65M Moana was tracking at $75-80M The Good Dinosaur was tracking at $60-65M

If this follows the way of Moana, then we may see reviews going up as early as this coming Monday. I have a feeling we might get them a little later though.
